about

A song about coming out. Written after seeing friends painfully wrestle with it. Going through the fear of loss, the fear of dis-ownment, the withdrawal of unconditional love.

Finding someone to celebrate your life with is hard enough without all the additional baggage. It doesn't matter who you love, we will always love you.

lyrics

Who I Am

He say’s Dad I am Gay
And I know you don’t understand
But I’m still your son
And I’m still the same blood
But I’m still your son
And I’m still the same blood

Yes this is who I am
Yes this is who I am

I know you’d be confused
Cause yes I dated women
But there were things we couldn’t over come
No matter how, we’d try to pretend
There were things we couldn’t over come
No matter how, we’d try to pretend

Yes this is who I am
Yes this is who I am
Yes this is who I am

I can be the someone I was born to be
I can be the someone I was born to be

This is who I am, who I am
This is who I am, who I am

You look at me strange
Like I stole the beauty from love
But there is happiness in me
There is happiness in me

Yes this is who I am
Yes this is who I am
This is how I turned out
This is how I found love

This is who I am, who I am
This is who I am

about

Beauty And The Girl Canberra, Australia

Beauty And The Girl is a duo from the “mean” streets of Canberra. Brought together by the fact they were the only two people honest enough to admit to a love of both late 80’s pop rap (Vanilla Ice, Sir Mix A Lot, etc who also by the way wrote Don’t Cha for the Pussy Cat Dolls so in your face one hit wonder people) and the bombastic nature of Muse and My Chemical Romance. ... more
