God: What if we just made a really horrible man? Give it. Give it lots of things. Tail leg. Belly sack. Talons. Abs. taste for flesh. Valid driver’s license. Fur.

So while I was at work today I stumbled upon this little gem.
I’ve loved Rainbow Kitten Surprise for a little over a year now and it would be a disservice to not share them with whoever I can. For those of you who haven’t heard of them before they’re an alternative/indie band with lyrics, vocals, and riffs that will melt into your soul.
“Devil Like Me” talks about a father who has kids that “learn to say fuck you” and don’t love him, along with mention of excessive drinking and suicide. It’s dark...like abysmally dark. Mix that with deep chords, subtle clapping, and minimal drums —and you have a villain that you almost feel bad for.
I’ve never really taken them for an LGBTQ/ally band. I might not have read enough into certain songs maybe, but I’ve always been under the impression that they weren’t too involved with that community or the issues people in it face. Then “Hide” came on.
The music video just dropped today and it features a handful of fabulous drag queens. One of the first that you see talks about how they have been hiding doing drag similarly to being gay, and follows their coming out story. It shows these individuals in their homes, at work, and workin’ it on the dance floor.
This was serendipity as hell for me. Lyrics like, “When the son of man had me in his clutches, sons of men pulled me to their touch and I loved it.” and the way the lead singer’s voice almost cries “Don’t let it slip away.” after saying “You better hide your love.” gave me goosebumps when all I’m trying to do with my day is edit specifications and update a website for my company.
Needless to say, this song broke through my mundane vision I have during my workday and really made me smile.
I may not be a drag queen, but I was raised Roman Catholic and having a religious family made coming out waaaay worse than it needed to be. So hearing them mix bible references with their own clever renditions on how religion can affect life as an LGBTQ individual made me feel like I wasn’t alone with being shut out from my family because Jesus was the Mockingjay for some of them.
I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do. I’m glad to see more and more songs like this emerge and help create a new normal, especially from such talented artists.
Hope everyone is having a great week so far, and if not I hope this helps. :)
