One of my favorite songs of all time

[@sarahj268]

I saw her live a few years ago and she said that this song is about her friend's transition to being a woman. How beautiful!

Oh Nancy Kerr, you make music that makes me happy to be human.

Her voice is out of this world. I swear that she could be a fairy. Thank you very much for sharing this video ❤️❤️❤️

This makes me think SO much of the protagonist of the October Daye book series. So beautiful!

That "my little fish" was a jumpscare for me.

Very few-write contemporary folk songs like Nancy Kerr.

I am so impressed by her songwriting. Anyone you care to mention alongside her, that I should be listening to?

[@bobeden5027]

Proper music.

I want everyone to be what they want to be. I disagree with teaching transgenderism as normal.
