Whenever we are honest with ourselves or others, we may find ourselves beginning, again. Today on YouTube we have “Again and Over.” This is a live performance from Repressions’ June show at E77, with full lyrics added. The truth can be wild and colorful.

New YouTube video today… The Repressions cover Don McLean’s “Vincent,” live, by request on Twitch. The song, often called “Starry Starry Night” after the memorable opening lyrics and the image of the famous 1889 painting, is a favorite, and a beautiful tribute to the artist Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890.) It is a reminder that we need to extend compassion to those we might not understand. Thank you to Don McLean for creating such an exquisite song.
