This song is so underrated. It would be all over the radio if this was the 90s

[sherryd.]

I am old. I am old enough to be your grandmother...or great-grandmother. From the first time I saw your face, I knew that you are one more child of my heart. And then you sang your story and baby you broke my heart and lifted it at the same time. I raised my siblings who were geniuses and so talented. I've worked with over 300 autistic teens, adults, and their families. I've been blessed...and then I saw and heard you. Please tell your story through every artistic medium you find. Your gifts can't be defined and shouldn't be constrained. Please live far beyond me and create your own beautiful thread of connection, fun, and Joy in the world. Love to you and yours, always.

Joy Oladokun... My New obsession. Manchester Orchestra got me here and honestly, I'm shocked she hasn't blown up yet! Beautiful lyrics & voice with an accessible sound! The entire album is fantastic!!

When I was six, I had a birthday party and only one kid showed up. This song resonated with me for that reason. The kids said they had to all go grocery shopping with thei moms instead of coming to my party. I still think of this today.

Got to hear this song live last night when she opened for Hozier. I was hooked immediately

Heres the news, from a 59yr old who's been thru a few ringers

It's fucking sometimes better and safer IN the water. You just become a fish

[billbrandt-vo]

What a poem. What a tune. What a sound. Really cool. I'm better for having heard it

Girl I came here because of a video I saw on FB. Dunno what the song was but you were playing an SG. I hope you have more stuff like that because you've got it!
