"...the thing about this song is that it's an amazing anthem, that was originally intended for civil rights. And ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't noticed, the gay and lesbian community is in a civil rights movement right now. And so this song has taken on a lot of personal meanings for me, both as a community but also personally, being told years ago, 'you're never going to fucking make it looking like that'"

"...and in the long run it was always the same thing: "no no no you are never going to make it, no no"

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don't mean to sound cocky, 'cuz I'm not, I'm just very proud, and I have my friends to thank for their support, but we just did a world tour and I have a Grammy nomination. And the reason why I'm bringing that up is to say that everybody that tells you 'no' tell'em 'FUCK YOU'"

♥♥♥♥♥


Oh this song. Never fails to make me teary.



It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cuz I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming but I know
A change us gonna come oh yes it will
