"Honestly" by br0ke / Caroline Calderon

I've been tryin' to find the words to describe how you make me feel so alive

You really caught my eye I'm smitten, tongue-tied baby girl you got to realize

That I'm down for you and all that you do No need to rush I'll wait for you 'cause you're worth it

I wanna hear you speak your mind you're not alone, I'll stay by your side I know you're hurtin'

CHORUS

Honestly I'm in too deep and I just can't sleep my every thought is you

Honestly I'm in too deep and I just can't see livin' life without you Honestly I'm into you

Verse 2

You've been tryin' to find the moment and time to leave all you knew behind

I really want to try to make it worth your while baby girl I'm not gonna lie

That I'm down for you and all that you do Take your time to make your move girl you're perfect

I wanna hear you speak your mind Don't be afraid to let me inside I know you're hurtin'

CHORUS

BRIDGE

You and I have been hurt before But I ain't gonna walk out that door I just wanna get to know you better I don't know where I'm going with this but I know I don't want to miss your sweet company please forgive me

CHORUS

CALLING ALL PINAYS and ALLIES...

Background and Purpose:

March is Womyn's Herstory Month and to celebrate, I want to create a video that acknowledges the Pinay with all my family, friends, and community. I wrote a song titled "Pinay" because I was frustrated with the media's misrepresentations of womyn, particularly Asian womyn. This song is inspired by all the pinays I've come across: mothers, educators, students, domestic workers, etc.

How to Get Involved:

- Submit a video clip of you and your homies dancing and singing along to this anthem/love song dedicated to those who identify as Pinay. You don't have to be pinay to submit a video, EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE! Have fun and be creative.

- Please send your submissions to [email protected] by March 2, 2014 (Sunday). You can attach the video to the email (if it doesn't exceed the limit), upload it to youtube and share the link or you can send it through a file-sharing website such as dropbox, hulkshare, or google drive.

Film Title: “API Hair & Queerness” by Sally Tran (full version)

So two summers ago, I independently worked on a short documentary on how hair plays a role within shaping our identities and explore what are the factors that render them.

Before I began this project, my hair was at the length of my hips. People have told me that during this time, i looked and presented more “straight” and “femme” and that “I was too pretty to be gay.”

Beauty privilege? Passing privilege? Asian privilege?

Every time anyone told me, “Oh you look so fucking pretty because of your hair,” i began to believe that my beauty could only exist because of my long silky black hair.

I felt vulnerable, I felt restricted, i felt conforming. That this piece of hair that was dangling side to side from my scalp is what defined my beauty.

Within queer spaces, i felt as if there were levels of “queer authenticity” that I had to pass in order to be taken seriously. I felt that I wasn’t “queer enough” because I had long hair, and because i had passing privilege, I felt a lot of femmephobia and the pressure to do this DYKE INITIATION and finally cut my hair which is one of the reasons how this project came about.

I wanted to document the experience of individuals within the queer and Asian womyn/trans community throughout California and explore how gender presentation plays a big role in shaping our different, unique, and intersectional identities.

**note this is my first ever film, so theres several glitches in there so be gentle… and i luhh you**

Enjoy

This summer I am celebrating my sixth year of writing songs. Thank you to all who have supported my music, I truly appreciate the love. I write music that is honest and personal. I write music that's relevant to my experiences and I hope yall can relate. For all you OG Caroline Calderon fans, I think you'll appreciate this new original. It took me over two years to write this song, hope you enjoy and click share.

mornings EP

"mornings EP" by Caroline Calderon

To the person who saved me To the person who nearly broke me To the people who have inspired me To the people who have showed me love To mornings spent with and without you This album is for you.

1. Good Morning - This song is about being completely infatuated by someone. It's the beginning stages of a relationship when you wake up and realize their beauty and imperfections.

2. Is This Love? - The point in a relationship where you ask...is this love? Do we runaway from someone who can potentially hurt us?

3. To Every Girl - A song about how womyn are often taken for granted. Know your self worth. Embrace your inner and outer beauty.

4. We (Try) - In relationships we often try to avoid conflict instead of confronting the problem. There's no easy way to love. You will get hurt, but the pain won't last forever unless you runaway from it.

5. Sacramento - No one should ever have to leave "love" behind. This song is dedicated to those who have to love from afar. Love is complicated, but it is also what keeps us going. Family, friends, and lovers.

Stop.

Take a moment.

Breathe.

This holiday, too, shall pass.

Love,

Sara

"Sacramento" by Caroline Calderon

She bought a ticket for the greyhound got a whole trip ahead her now She's been thinkin on that bus how she gonna win her love? win back her love PRE-CHORUS The miles remind her of the time she lost of the love she lost and there's only one person left to blame CHORUS Sacramento, why you gotta be so far away  Sacramento, let love come back to me  Sacramento Nanay bought a one way ticket to the land of the free, it wasn't easy  She was thinking on the way will i see my kids again someday?  some day PRE-CHORUS  CHORUS Everybody's changing Can't you hear what i'm saying?  Our love's fading I don't gonna give you up It's not about the distance but i miss mornings with you  I'm don't wanna give you up  I don't wanna give up Why's love gotta be so complicated? Be wise love, it's gonna be complicated To them brothers and sisters tryna make it work  who left love home and still feel the hurt To them overseas workers and overworked  who left love home and still feel the hurt You are not alone  CHORUS

[br0ke]

And now that you’re gone away feels like what we had wasn’t real at all

Background: Love ain't easy.

"We (Try)" by Caroline Calderon

Why don't we try to say what's on our minds avoiding the fight won't make things right Oh babe I'll try to see where you're coming from there's no need to run what happened in the past is done We will be hurt we will be wrong we will make up we will move on There are times I say you're on my mind you choose to pick a fight saying things just ain't right I'm here to stay even when you push me away there's so much more to say I'll get down on my knees and pray for us, I believe in us We will be hurt we will be wrong we will make up we will move on I will be bold you will be strong we will forgive we will still love

[anotherfeminist]

“I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she’ll give his life meaning because he doesn’t care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That’s not healthy. That’s falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person.” Joseph Gordon-Levitt about his character.

This is why I didn’t like the ending, because when JGL’s character is walking and there’s a voiceover explaining something like he’s realized all this crap he did, then he goes and finds this new girl who seems to be a prospective for a love interest, showing the audience he hasn’t learned much from what happened with Summer.
