cheers...
Hi there all,
Just a quick post this time. I recently saw an interview with Kimberly Reed (MTF transgender lesbian filmmaker... now there's a title for you ..hehe) on Oprah of all shows and it really touched my heart.
Her story is not that different to mine but her courage to find her way to freedom is awesomely inspiring and I shed so many tears and still do even typing this... making a habit of that lately :? I was so inspired and 'moved' through that interview that I've even re-named my guitar after her... trust me that's a true honour :)
Anyway... out of it came this song. I'll post the lyrics now and try and record it for you in the coming few days (maybe week) and post it up too... love ya all and thanks for listening:
KIMBERLY – Scott White
(ode to Kimberly Reed)
You were born a boy
But that label never fit you
Though you tried to play their game
How’d it make you feel?
When you gazed into the looking glass
What picture did you see?
CHORUS:
Oh Kimberley
Your elegance and grace
It inspires me
When I look upon your face
It amazes me
The courage that you’ve shown to be free
You bring hope into my soul
Oh Kimberley
When did you decide?
To walk this rugged pathway
So you could be complete
Was someone by your side?
To hold you in the shadows
While you fought your way to light
Beautiful song... profound lyrics... simply amazging! Thank you for sharing! You are a beautiful person!!! PS: Oprah needs to know you wrote this! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Robynne (blush).. I'm pretty sure Oprah has better things to do with her time :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely BEAUTIFUL! We, too, saw Kimberly Reed on Oprah, and then went to Seattle when her documentary was playing there...she would be honored that you have written such a song. Have you contacted her so she can hear it? And Oprah too! I agree with Roby! My sweeties has great ideas! Keep playing and singing and being the beautiful YOU that you are! Dotti
