Lift your head up, lift your head up, lift your head up, lift your head up now! It is about truly taking in all of the beauty in the moments and the world around you, and also about looking directly at the things in our world that need action and reform. Here is a live performance from The Repressions’ latest show at c’mon everybody in Brooklyn.
Upcoming Shows & A Video in Flannel
Save the evening dates! Next live in person shows Wednesday August 24th in Brooklyn, Friday September 2, and Sunday September 4th in Queens! More details to come very soon. Another Twitch Raid Train show will be Saturday August 20th at 8pm, and Tonight and Tuesday we’ll be playin on Twitch and what may happen? Something like this:
Doing a Twitch show is a unique performing experience. While the venue has more creature comforts, you tend to play much longer sets than at a music venue. You have to be ready for anything at either gig, but there is a tension and freedom taking random requests and improvising on a song you may have never played before. Nate did a fantastic job winging it with one of Barbara’s favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, Dosed, on YouTube today.
To The After ~ New Live Video
To The After is a song of reversal, of fear, and hope through living in the present while the future is only questions.
Ophelia’s Song – The Repressions New Video
Ophelia’s Song is a song of healing, of hope, of saving ourselves while imagining saving literary characters. It only takes a simple slip to drown in despair, but there is light in you.
Medicate Me~ New Video
Mental Health is so very misunderstood. In addition to the social stigma, there are rampant misconceptions about the help we seek. This song wants to let you know that you are not alone.
Again and Over! New Song!
Every time we face our truths, delightful or difficult, we start a new chapter. Here is a live performance of The Repressions new song, Again and Over. (Lyrics are in the video description!)
Grown Up Twelve~ Live with Lyrics!
Life can make you feel pretty small, no matter where the calendar lands. This song is for anyone who does not feel they are meeting the strange standards adulthood.
