  • Mary Lambert: Spreading the Love Call Singer-Songwriter Mary Lambert a Missionary for Self-Acceptance
    Mary Lambert: Spreading the love Call singer-songwriter Mary Lambert a missionary for self-acceptance. When it comes to bipolar disorder, body-image and more, she won’t take shame for an answer. By Stephanie Stephens Mary Lambert doesn’t care if the world knows her secrets. She recites them, sings them, and lives them large with a candid, “this is really me” demeanor that endears her to legions of loyal fans. Along the way she sets a powerful example of how to steadfastly love yourself even when you’ve been programmed not to—because you’re not a size 4, because you have a mental illness, because people in your life treat you as if you’re worthless. Hearing her hit single “Secrets” for the first time often prompts a double-take: “Did she really sing that?” Yes, she did, just like this: I’ve got bi-polar disorder My sh*** not in order The bubbly and disarming multi-hyphenate (singer-songwriter, poet, and spoken-word artist) remembers telling her friends how she was going to start the song. Aghast, they asked her, “Are you sure you want to do that?” She shot back without hesitation, “Yes!” “Then I woke up the next morning with a ‘truth hangover,’” laughs Lambert, on break from a U.S. tour with the Irish band The Script and singer/songwriter Colton Avery. “Being vulnerable is essential to my music, the way I function and love, and how I connect with people,” the 26-year-old says. “Vulnerability is the key to empathy, but it is also a double-edged sword.

  • Identity & Adversity Playlist
    IDENTITY & ADVERSITY PLAYLIST by Heather Campbell As the universal language, music has the ability to inspire us, ignite creativity, provide us with comfort during trying moments, and teach us that we are not alone in this world. For teens, music is often an outlet through which they can express themselves, where lyrics convey emotions and experiences they may be unable to otherwise articulate. The following list is a collection of songs and albums addressing various themes of identity and adversity, along with songs that contain uplifting messages of hope and perseverance for teens facing difficult times. Taylor Swift – “Shake it Off”, 2014 N’we Jinan Eeyou Istchee (Volume How often are people expected to fit 1), 2014 into a certain box, or told they're Montreal rapper David Hodges visited wrong, not good enough, not 10 Cree communities within Quebec suitable?

  • Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
    CPYU 3(D) REVIEW Song/Video: “Same Love” - Macklemore/Ryan Lewis feat. Mary Lambert By Walt Mueller Background/summary: This song is featured on the debut full-length album, The Heist (released Oc- tober 9, 2012), from Seattle-based rapper Macklemore (29-year-old Ben Haggerty) and producer Ryan Lewis. This single was released in July 2012 and has been picking up steam globally even though it’s a localized call to vote in support of Washington state’s Referendum 74, that would legalize same-sex marriage. The song features a chorus sung by guest artist, Mary Lambert, who is a lesbian. While not a homosexual himself, Macklemore is deeply sympathetic to his two gay uncles. Discover: What is the message/worldview?: The song lyrically unfolds in biopic form as Macklemore begins by telling his own story. As a young boy he fear- fully questioned his sexuality due to his interests in draw- ing and neatness, but his mother told him otherwise: “When I was in the third grade I thought I was gay/’Cause I could draw, an’ my uncle was/And I kept my room straight/I told my mom tears rushing down my face/She’s like ‘Ben you’ve loved girls since before pre-k.” He goes on to lament his acceptance of culturally-defined sexual stereotypes. The video offers a five-and-a-half minute birth-to-death look into the life of a homosexual. The infant is seen growing through boyhood into a sexually-confused adolescence. Knowing he is gay, he struggles to understand and accept himself, including feeling out-of-place at a party (spin-the-bottle) and at a school dance.
