Hi, My name real name is Ada. Here is a few songs and stories of how much Mary Lambert's Art has touched my heart. For Pride Month. For Love. For ALL THE THINGS. Part one Is for the song "She Keeps Me Warm" : There will be Three Parts.
How cool is this that I am beginning to write this on a Sunday? The first time I heard that line " I am not crying on Sunday's" was from Mary Lambert's song "She Keeps Me Warm" not from "Same Love" she sings with Macklemore but later on I heard that song too and do love it so very much, but She Keeps Me Warm hit me in my heart first and it will always be my favorite of the two.
Funny thing that I felt like a ocean had burst inside of me and I bawled like a baby when I kept hearing not crying over and over in my mind. I was in the dark, with my earphones on and I literally went to a place I had not ever been before. You see sometimes I think I am the odd one out in this world. I am christian, attracted to girls in every way, an introvert and a hippie among lots of other things. Because of this for a long time I felt the need to hide a piece of myself to set another piece of myself free to new people I meet. I am lucky where I live and who my family is, they all accept me for me but the introvert in me always wants to hide things with strangers, I don't know where this feeling comes from, I was born with it I suppose.
When I gathered myself together and listened to the whole song, all the lyrics, I felt the love is patient and love is kind in every cell of my body. This is definitely my go to song when I am feeling like a worm instead of a butterfly.
Hearing Mary sing this live in concert three times now has brought me so many joy filled memories. there is no accurate words to say how included into the world I feel from that one line with all my pieces. That love is all parts of oneself. Don't cry over love, be who you are and don't allow anyone to take your freedom from you on Sunday or any other day. Don't come out of the closet just to jump into a box over something else. However I do cry when I hear it sometimes and that is okay, more than okay, I think it's a bit of rebellion in a world that needs to know we are the rule makers of our bodies, our minds, spirits and crying or not crying takes that back for a time. this time. Now. Hopefully Forever.
