Picked this and Dawson's Christian up from Bandcamp yesterday, the song that got me into Filk in the first place.

I wrote a small blog post about it, this song has a lot of good memories for me.

🎵 For we will be wicked and we will be fair
And they'll call us such names, and we really won't care,
So go, tell your Wendys, your Susans, your Janes,
There's a place they can go if they're tired of chains,
And our roads may be golden, or broken, or lost,
But we'll walk on them willingly, knowing the cost --
We won't take our place on the shelves.
It's better to fly and it's better to die
Say the wicked girls saving ourselves. 🎵

It's _sort of_ a protest song, it's very much a be-your-best-self-and-fsck-the-patriarchy song... and it got me through some hard places.

From the left: SJ Tucker, Michelle "Vixy" Dockrey, Seanan McGuire (songwriter), Tony Fabris, and Amy McNally, all of whom now have a Pegasus Award... and the song itself won Best Filk Song two years after this recording.

As I'm currently singing bass* the earworm is "I'm a tenor now". But who wrote it?

*I was a mezzo, usually now an alto

#WordWeavers 27 — Is it difficult for you if your partner or closest friends don't enjoy books?

All my #Filk music friends (found family) read - of course. A collection is meagre if under a couple of 1,000 books (I have less than 1,500 if you don't count the online ones).

All my friends read at least a little, but some of my other friends don't read fiction. I do find this strange.
