for you: live from social death

Part playlist, part audiobook? For You narrates the process of creating from social death.

Before the social death y’all are experiencing right now, disabled and sick people were pushed off the Fool’s cliff into the void upon your return Back to Normal™️ - we know the process of being yeeted by the wayside all too well.

The fool isn’t just a bitch - they’re a bitch with a backstory. This is part of mine.

I hope to show that not only is it possible to create from social death, but that it is necessary in order to root ourselves in the primordial waters.

Like Atum in the Egyptian creation myth, this is the space from which we can create new suns - the ones Octavia Butler talked about.

Right now, you are in a rip tide. Surrender to the flow, and swim parallel to me. We will inevitably meet.

Sometimes written, mostly improv-ed, all done in one take, For You turns the concept album on its head and presents a process album instead.

Mainly this was done out of necessity because my laptop is broken but you can still produce beauty with analog, acoustic flow.

I’m raising money to fix my laptop and iPad ($1,000) in order to release my next process album about masculine creative power, Perfect Little Lesbian, and to raise at least $2,600 for a month’s rent to move to a safe place I will have access to - if I can pay - for my dog and I in these times.

If you’d like to help a kid out - it’s me, I’m the kid - my Venmo is @woods_y.
