how has this still not blown up yet? such an amazing performance

@mattrice4213 5 лет назад

Honestly the guitar going out at 4:10 felt perfectly serendipitous and fitting for this already incredible song--amazing performance and congratulations!

Amazing song. I love how the guitarist didn't stop playing. It saved the take. Stayed in rhythm, finished the song. Don't ever give up.

@JillKnapp 5 лет назад

CONGRATULATIONS!! Holy mother of crap, what a powerful song, and a killer performance. I'm so happy you kept that take. Your voice is so damn expressive. Thank you for bringing your music and experience to us all... and thanks to NPR for letting me (and now a bazillion others) discover you. Best of luck on what's about to be a crazy-ass journey! 💗👍🎵

I heard this on the radio while driving and was dumbfounded with the rawness of emotion...and I only heard a snip-it of it as it was featured in a piece on NPR. A few days passed and this song kept haunting me; it was powerful and kept coming back into my thoughts. It seemed, for the first time, I could actually feel what my transgender friends feel, not just simply understand it; but I mean REALLY feel the frustration, the anger, the vulnerability; even just for a glimmer. lt just brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this. I really needed the experience. I love it. I am just blown away.

@g0shu4 5 лет назад

Quinn, I just heard your story on NPR, and I immediately had to hear this whole song. As a trans person myself, it moved me deeply and made my day. Thank you for sharing this with the world. With art like this, we will not be erased.

Love the set, the music, the vocals, the intensity, the emotion, the intention, the equipment malfunction, the movement, the giggles, the comradery. A mini MASTERPIECE. ----------------------------------------Like Duchamp's The Large Glass, it wasn't finished until it broke.-----------------------Many thanks to Quinn and Nick and all the creators on this gem

@loricrockett5774 8 месяцев назад

He is so cool! Now that he is a man no one disses him. He has power and a voice and no one interrupts him. No one tries to erase him now. Love you man

@Cosmicasiren 5 лет назад

I keep referencing this video daily for inspiration, comfort and the multidimensional range of an artist wearing many hats. He manages to evoke many affects from his words, range, and turbulence of emotionality. I’m really appreciating the representation of an indigenous individual in a relatively isolated part of the world. This phenomena of talent mixed with tenacity is something to look forward to with any new musical discovery. Thanks for giving yourself to a local and global community!! It’s raw and real, the thing we long for as humans- you’re delivering !!

@davidnyro19 5 лет назад

Sadly, truthfully, bitterly, there are some universal truths expressed in this powerful song. I've lived it. We all have. No matter who, or what, we are, though some definitely get shorter sticks. What people do to us...But they're wounded too. More than most. What we do to ourselves too...But if you can get through to the other side, there is truth, clarity, peace, and love. (It still sucks sometimes. Life.) Congratulations Quinn and Nick on your Tiny Desk win! Absolutely deserved. Way to do "the show must go on!"
