So the post on Godx got a bit more engagement and some kind words (thankyou!) so I thought I'd drop the full music video here! I always thought this one had more potential, Tumblr seems like a better home for it than Instagram (AKA the once great social media turned massive liminal space full of ads).
I've been watching over you
I haven't forgotten
Have you?
godx a réagi à votre billet “i dont know how it somehow spread that its called pen palz while on...”
WHAT i couldve sworn it said pen palz
the file folder after extracted says pen palz.....tho in game when u start up u know the starting screen! that says penpals
Godx, track 3 on Manic Pixie Dream World (long writeup sorry)
This is a key song thematically and in terms of the development of this album.
The other month I was at a urinal in a mall with a rainbow striped backpack and a younger, clean cut guy came up to me and started ranting about how he was going to send me to hell because God sends sodomites to hell and that we'd all get wiped out. So understand that what I am about to say isn't aimed at you if you're a decent Christian who leaves the judgment to God.
But I am profoundly uncomfortable with the type of "Christianity" that's spreading in North America. They act as Pharisees - ignoring and twisting the words of the Bible to justify amassing great wealth and acts of cruelty and violence against their fellow citizens. I see more and more people using their supposed faith as little more than carte blanche to live out their violent and cruel fantasies. It is uncomfortable getting approached by these people on trying to convert me knowing I may literally have to fight them off if they knew who I was.
But it is also profoundly sad to me that the positive aspects of organised religion - community, charity, solidarity - have been so closed to the LGBTQ2S community historically.
So crystallised the idea for Godx - a God who is all genders and none, a God who asks only that you dance, sing, create as veneration. I thought it was provocative and interesting but also has some deeper meaning underneath the silly dancepop exterior. It's meant to be a joyous romp but it nonetheless touches on the colonial destruction of indigenous concepts of gender the world over. This feels especially relevant lately.
The song was the first mixed and mastered by Erin Tonkon and Sarah Register, and so it's also important because they went on to do the whole record after it came out so damn good. Erin took this song and brought out the Prince influence that I'd accidentally buried in my initial mix and made it dynamic and powerful.
This is also the first track sequentially where I play every instrument, since there are no live drums.
Hope you enjoy the album and the write up 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
It's so precious to observe you all
To watch humanity live and grow
You are so dear to me
Did you know I fought for you?
I was there to protect you
when nothing else was
Were you searching for me?
A short formal introduction
I am the patron of creation, scholars, balance, humanities, dreams, energy, and lost youth.
Some time ago I was killed and sent to earth to help humanity and regain energy to restore my astral body. I consider myself a friend to humanity and hope to aid the progression of your society.
