A Hozier and Bedouine collaboration is a wish I didn’t even realize I wanted granted.

E X C U S E Y O U No but really, I've always enjoyed Private World way too much, and I hope more and more people realise how gay-ahem-great it is.

Okay, there are these two musicians from the Netherlands called Nick & Simon. Their idols are Simon & Garfunkel, and they’ve shot a 5-episode documentary of them going to New York to step in some of Paul and Artie’s footsteps, like visiting their childhood neighbourhood, interviewing some people who knew or played a role in Paul and Art’s life, etc. They also often play S&G songs for their interviewees and so on. In the 4th episode, for example, they went to the elderly home where Art made recordings for Bookends, and they also interviewed some of the residents there; it was lovely. In the last episode they met Ron Delsener who confirmed Art wore a toupet for the Central Park Concert. A+++ content all around!

I missed the first two episodes on tv, and there are restrictions of me watching it from Belgium, so I had to be a bit creative, but the other day I finally got my hands on the second episode, where they take a picture in front of Paul’s childhood home, and then they also go to Art’s childhood home. Which is now owned by another family, and they could go inside, though the new owner seemed a bit reluctant to let them.  

That new owner, who - granted - is a bit of an odd bloke, starts talking about a BOX WITH PAPERS AND DOCUMENTS THAT ART’S FAMILY LEFT THERE and they subtly ask if they can see the box. 

Listen, I would kill for that box. It has some clippings of Tom & Jerry, letters Art wrote or were written to Art, job applications that he did, a diary of some sorts, and lyrics or poems that he’s written. LYRICS THAT ART HAS WRITTEN. UNRELEASED LYRICS (at least I think they’re unreleased, and I think they’re written by Art…like can you imagine if these were early S&G lyrics???). Like, why is no one screaming about this???? 

I grabbed a screencap of one of the papers with lyrics that the new owner showed and brightened it a bit. I hope it’s visible. Let’s weep, okay. 

Could this be Art’s handwriting? 

Here are the lyrics:

Now I recall, words that we(re) said

Times that we shared, tears that were shed

Sad (little) eyes, a child’s gentle frown

Silky brown hair came atumbling down

Secrets we shared, safe in our own ??

All this is gone, faded away

Bright burning love, ashes of grey

How could we tell, in the warm summer sun

Spring would turn cold, and winter would come.

Gone are the days, gone is our own private world

There are chords, too. As far as I can see, written in blue ballpoint pen beneath these words. Was this a song that Art had written?

There was more. There was a stamp from the time he called himself Artie Garr. There was a letter addressed to him. There was another poem/song that we could briefly see on the screen. I’ll see if I can make something of it.  

I died, okay.

A difference in perspective

I made a keisou song. Happy pride month

Honestly I've listened to it so much that I can't tell if it's good anymore but my friend likes it and I trust them

The song itself has been done for quite a while, it's just that I didn't want to post it without the Epic Mv I wanna make. I realized the mv is gonna take way too long so I decided to post the song first. Hope y'all like it!

; I truly despise the phrase " people who have nothing will be grateful for anything 🥰 " because actually fucking no, the person who just lost their house to a fire doesn't want your ripped, stained and barely wearable hoodie. I mean honestly it's dehumanizing and offensive. Just because someone got evicted and is now homeless and poor, or they were kicked out of their home by their family or whatever, does not mean you get to treat them like less or give them crappy out of date food because " they'll be grateful anyways 😘 "

; whether they accept it or not doesn't make it any better, you're still being disrespectful.

; 1. homeless people deserve edible food and good quality clothes

; 2. people failed by social services / adoption services deserve edible food and good quality clothes

; 3. people who lost their homes in fires, floods or robberies, whatever, deserve edible food and good quality clothes

; 4. those who have been kicked out of their homes by unsupportive ( homophobic, racist, ableist, fatphobic, against certain religion or career, etc ) families deserve edible food and good quality clothes

; 5. beggars deserve edible food and good quality clothes

; 6. people coming from poor / unlivable countries deserve edible food and good quality clothes

; everyone deserves edible food and good quality clothes, it's a basic human right to that sort of shit. You denying people that, or ignoring them or giving them bad quality stuff just because they'll most likely accept it or " it's better than nothing !! " is disgusting. Do better. ( even if you somehow meant well, it's not okay !! It's just. Eugh. )

I need people to start understanding fanfiction writers don't owe anyone anything. Also would it kill some of you to not treat fanfic writers' inboxes like theyre a damn drive-thru and respect their rules and boundaries. Just some observations 👩‍💻

hi hello. i've been working on this track for like four months. yes most of that time was procrastination. Alas it is finished now, visualiser's up, and i would very much appreciate it if you listened

it's an . Odd composition with little style switches inspired by some of frums' stuff and is part of my (hopefully) upcoming Proper debut album

anyways if you do give a listen then Cheers also suggestion try not to just listen to the first like thirty seconds and decide that it's not for you because it does Change
