Perfume Genius - “Dark Parts”

This song is about my mom. I was worried about showing her, but she cried through the whole thing. I wanted to take something from her life that wasn’t happy, and turn it in to something triumphant, to remind her how strong and beautiful and loved and important she is. She doesn’t like the last line and says that her dark parts belong to her alone.

Mike Hadreas tells it better than I do because all I can because 1) he wrote it, and 2) all I can manage right now is to tell you how emotional his music makes me.
