The lyric feels raw and really sinks into my subconscious. It always makes me think about my family. It is crazy to think that for a period of my fathers life he wasn't considered 'human'.
Just heard this song on the radio at Charleville, googled what song is this. Found you and your lovely voice. (My singing is as handy as an ashtray on a motorcycle) I too am an Aboriginal woman and am so proud of you honey. Well done. You can add another fan to your list. And I have a great story about Paul and his brother Rob. I hope I get the chance to tell you one day but I did write him and let him know and he responded with a letter. Those two are saviours. Any way keep going and I will watch you at the Grammys. Xoxo
So inspirational this song and how powerful and soulful your voice is Thelma. We are all proud of you. This song has instantly reminds me of my own aboriginal Grandmother who grew up with an British family from birth...I wonder how she must have felt back then. Growing up and wondering if she is pretty. Thank you for this song, It’s now mine and my grandmother song that we can listen to together ❤️
Oh, I remember looking at magazines I never saw anyone quite like me It was hard, it was hard for me I would never speak up out of turn 'Bout those blonde, blue-eyed girls They were beautiful But it was hard, hard for me to dream I'll be my own homecoming queen As long as it feels good to me I'll be the voice of this town You'll be your own homecoming queen Forget all the shit that you've seen Put on that crown When I was a teenager Awkward body hair, and big derriere It was harder, so much harder than it seemed I am a woman now I feel beautiful, and I love myself But it was hard, to get used to me I'll be my own homecoming queen As long as it feels good to me I'll be the voice of this town You'll be your own homecoming queen Forget all the shit that you've seen Put on that crown 'Cause in 1967 I wasn't human And in 1994 I was born I'm still here We are still here I'll be my own homecoming queen As long as it feels good to me I'll be the voice of this town You'll be your own homecoming queen Forget all the shit that you've seen Put on that crown Put on that crown Put on that crown Put on that crown Put on that crown Put on that crown Put on that crown Put on that crown Put on that crown
This....... AMAZING. Makes me well up actually. Love how powerful the message is, how smooth the whole song is.. And your voice, like you, is just beautiful. Made my top 10 of the year. Solid album too :)
I just came here because the full album just dropped at midnight here in the U.S. Great job, Thelma! The entire thing is intricate and very well written. Excellent album that I’m going to be listening to over and over again!
Triple j. How much dose your love cost hooked me for life. Ab original featuring you was also awesome. Keep it up my friend you are making a difference.
How in the actual fuck is music like this and artist like her not more popular, but yet tones and I is repeated constantly with that annoying voice, so many underrated artist in Australia who deserve more recognition
Does somebody know the chords on guitar for this song? The first one is an A and capo on 2. Pls help i u know the chord bc im in the school band and we play this in a few weeks and i cant find any chords online thanks🖤🖤 btw this is my favorite song and i could listen to this 24/7
Hey I play it as B C# E B (as barre chords) for the verse which sounds right . The bridge (in 1997....) i think is G# E B / G E / F# E F#. And it ends on B E repeating fade out. I think
I hear it as B, C#m, E, B in the verses, and the bridge as C#m, E, F#, E. Whether it's a C#minor or C# major is kind of ambiguous, that is what sounds cool. To play on capo 2 as A shapes, it would be A, F#m, D in verses, then F#m, D, E, D shapes in bridge. I think the easiest to play would be capo 4 with G shapes. That would be G, Am, C in the verse. Em and C and so forth in the bridge. No bar chords!
This Lady has a very powerful voice without screaming and shouting, Thelma Plum get's the message across. Well done Beautiful Lady
My favourite line is, "It was hard, to get use to me."
You and both mate 😊
So much more deserving of recognition than the wave of empty, expressionless pop music that permeates the top twenty.
One would have thought that by 2019 we would have learnt more since 1967.
Such a beautifully sad but reflective song to all the sisters out there.
Cause In 1967 I wasn’t human, instantly thought of my grandmothers and how they would have felt.
The lyric feels raw and really sinks into my subconscious. It always makes me think about my family. It is crazy to think that for a period of my fathers life he wasn't considered 'human'.
Same here ❤️

I just voted for this in JJJs Hottest 100. Love this song so much. It's always in my head and I love that. Love you too Thelma.
Just heard this song yesterday while flying on Thai Airways from Bangkok to Seoul.... The catchy strings and voice got me Hooked!
I heard this playing on Spotify In class and saved it and listened to it over and over and fell madly in love
My entire feed is full of great music, today is a good day.
i was lucky enough to be in a uke jam where we sang this song....its beautiful....thankyou :)
Oh, I remember looking at magazines
I never saw anyone quite like me
It was hard, it was hard for me
I would never speak up out of turn
'Bout those blonde, blue-eyed girls
They were beautiful
But it was hard, hard for me to dream
I'll be my own homecoming queen
As long as it feels good to me
I'll be the voice of this town
You'll be your own homecoming queen
Forget all the shit that you've seen
Put on that crown
When I was a teenager
Awkward body hair, and big derriere
It was harder, so much harder than it seemed
I am a woman now
I feel beautiful, and I love myself
But it was hard, to get used to me
I'll be my own homecoming queen
As long as it feels good to me
I'll be the voice of this town
You'll be your own homecoming queen
Forget all the shit that you've seen
Put on that crown
'Cause in 1967 I wasn't human
And in 1994 I was born
I'm still here
We are still here
I'll be my own homecoming queen
As long as it feels good to me
I'll be the voice of this town
You'll be your own homecoming queen
Forget all the shit that you've seen
Put on that crown
Put on that crown
Put on that crown
Put on that crown
Put on that crown
Put on that crown
Put on that crown
Put on that crown
Put on that crown

Anyone 6th may 2024?
I just wrote a song in 20 minutes........drama queen 💎💎💎🎶🎶🎶💋💋💋
Did she write this song or is she doing cover?
I am pretty sure she wrote it. It's not a cover anyway.
She is right...forget all the shit 👍
yıl 2020 sevgilisiyle dinleyenleri görelim
This sounds a bit too close to Etta James' "i'd rather go blind" - I'm guessing Thelma was inspired by this...
You have a beautiful voice BUT the melody is too much like Tenessee whiskey...sorry.
