Bio: Jess Waggoner (they/them) is one of the founders of the Queer Madison Mixtape project. A recent transplant from Houston by way of Bloomington, Indiana, Jess is eager to meet and collaborate with local artists. They are drawn to themes such as rural queers, trans trucks, big hair, and femme utopias. Past projects include a drag gospel quartet, a femme-fronted Meatloaf cover band, and various twangy queer femme-centric projects such as Corn Palace, The Cabinettes, and Mary Okie. They live in the Atwood area with their chihuahua, Gravy Rae. Special thanks to Rick Nagy for mixing this track, which is about two young queer people separated from one another by their parents.

lyrics

Description: A treble voice, sometimes dividing into harmonies, croons against the backdrop of an arpeggiated electric guitar and organ.

Bonnie reaches for the soles of my feet
Fingers in the carpet, her hair all over me
mama’s screams pile up at the top of the stairs
(You know I was there)

Now in the quiet in the times we don’t speak
Her shame trickles and it covers me
I dim the lights and I trace the edge of the screen
I try to live clean

But there’s songs in the car, your crumbs in my bed
Every hymn we knew turned gay in my head
The summer so hot; when your daddy lied
Didn’t make it out in unison but we made it out alive

Hear your name and it’s an open wound
Loving you is gettin sick on the fumes
I shrink a little every time I pass you at school
(Or down by the pool)

Cause Bonnie you can play it straight
tilt your head just right
But here’s it’s just me, in my body, in this drafty room tonight
And I hope one day


Youre gonna lay down the fight
it’s not our fight
Till then there’s songs in the car, your crumbs in my bed
Every hymn we knew turned gay in my head
The summer so hot; when your daddy lied
Didn’t make it out in unison but we made it out alive



We made it out

Bonnie reaches for the soles of my feet
