I'll Be Your Mirror by The Velvet Underground

I know the poll is still going, but I still wanted to share so here's an exemple of what Other could be...

Lyrics under the cut ;)

[Verse 1] I'll be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain, and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home

[Chorus] When you think the night has seen your mind That inside, you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you

[Verse 2] I find it hard to believe you don't know The beauty you are But if you don't, let me be your eyes A hand to your darkness so you won't be afraid

[Chorus] When you think the night has seen your mind That inside, you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you

[Outro] I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are) I'll be your mirror (Reflect what you are)

Annoting that Freddie Mercury never really confirmed being bisexual, but was notoriously dating men and women.

He loved his fiancée Mary Austin and wrote her the song Love of My Life Queen - Love Of My Life (Official Video) (youtube.com) and finished his life romantically involved with his hairdresser Jim Hutton, that he would often call his husband.

Bicycle Race by Queen

The Official Video (TW: Nudity)

Young Americans was released by David Bowie on the 7th of March 1975! It marked his new fascination with soul and funk music.

What are your favourite songs on the album?

Bowie because his music literally saved my life

Love you forever

I Love My Car by Queen

(You really thought I would post music on April's Fool Day ? Here's Freddie Mercury killing it instead)

Freddie Mercury posing on his car

ok let's make something very clear: Taylor Swift is not a baddie.

she a spoiled white woman who grew up very wealthy and who's individual carbon footprint is larger than the entirety of some small nations.

you know who is a southern baddie? Dolly Parton.

grew up in absolute poverty in a shack with dirt floors

(TS has a rich family and spent every Xmas in NYC)

modeled her style after the town trollop, who she thought was the most beautiful woman in the world, and embraced her sexuality.

(TS retains the image of the young innocent virgin white girl despite being 35 years old and every one of her songs is about a man)

wrote a song about the stupidity of the American work system

(TS is a billionaire with two private jets)

has supported the queer community for decades even through some of its darkest times like the AIDS crisis

(TS uses the queer community like a prop)

started a scientific organization to help cure viruses like AIDS and that even helped develop the Covid vaccine

(TS made the last superbowl all about her becauses she was dating one of the players)

has run a charity since 1995 that sends millions of books to children in poverty, particularly the rural south where she grew up

(TS has done nothing for the south and its problems despite her southern belle persona)

"But she told off Trump! Thats something!"

Honey thats the absolute bare minimum.

That's telling someone 'bless you' after they sneeze.

That's holding the door open for someone in a wheelchair.

Thats waving back to a little kid when they wave at you.

It takes 0 risk and 0 effort and should not be a point of praise.

"Well her southern fans and sponsors didn't like it."

So? Woman is a billionaire with connections all over the world. She literally doesn't need them.

Bottom line: Taylor Swift remains an egotistical bourgeoisie white cunt who should be known for her pollution levels instead of her mid music.

While Dolly remains the bad bitch she's been since the 1970s.
