    Amanda, last night I lost my pup. I don’t know how to cope without her. She came into my life right after my dad’s suicide and was with me for 13 years. I know you’re very busy but I wanted to tell you thank you for keeping me breathing for all these years.

    Amanda, I'm a stronger woman today because of you. I've been a fan since Coin-Operated Boy; just an impressionable 15-year-old girl then. I'm 31 this year, and you've been such a wonderful role model.

    i dont want to spam every video in this album LOL but dude every song i click on somehow resonates with me and makes me cry (not in a totally depressing way but in a touching sorrowful AND hopeful way). like i dont think i've ever listened to such a powerful artist before, like holy moly.

    You'd think I'd shot their children
    From the way that they are talking
    And there's no point in responding
    'Cause it will not make them stop
    And I am tired of explaining
    And of seeing so much hating
    In the very same safe haven
    Where I used to just see helping
    I've been drunk and skipping dinner
    Eating skin from off my fingers
    And I tried to call my brother
    But he no longer exists
    I keep forgetting to remember
    That he would have been much prouder
    If he saw me shake these insults off
    Instead of getting bitter
    I am bigger on the inside
    But you have to come inside to see me
    Otherwise you're only hating
    Other people's low-res copies
    You'd think I'd learn my lesson
    From the way they keep on testing
    My capacity for pain
    And my resolve to not get violent
    But though my skin is thickened
    Certain spots can still be gotten
    It is typically human of me
    Thinking I am different
    To friends hooked up to hospital machines
    To fix their cancer
    And there is no better place than from this
    Waiting room to answer
    The French kid who sent an email
    To the website late last night
    His father raped him and he's scared
    He asked me
    "How do you keep fighting?"
    And the truth is I don't know
    I think it's funny that he asked me
    Cause I don't feel like a fighter lately
    I am too unhappy
    You are bigger on the inside
    But your father cannot see
    You need to tell someone
    Be strong
    And somewhere some dumb rock star truly loves you
    You'd think I'd get perspective
    From my view here by the bedside
    It is difficult to see the ones I love
    So close to death
    All their infections and proscriptions
    And the will to live at all in question
    Can I not accept that my own problems
    Are so small?
    You took my hand when you woke up
    I had been crying in the darkness
    We all die alone but I am so, so glad
    That you are here
    You whispered
    "We are so much bigger on the inside
    You, me, everybody
    Some day when you're lying where I am
    You'll finally get it, beauty
    We are so much bigger
    Than another one can ever see
    But
    Trying is the point of life
    So don't stop trying
    Promise me"

    Amanda, I want you to know you are one of the few, possibly the only artist that makes me truely feel. When something you write hits me I stop what I'm doing immediately, tear up, and get chills all over my body and just stare into space for an unknowable amount of time soaking in your music. You are my favorite artist.

    Amanda Palmer!!! Truly one of the most talented sentient beings on this planet! Thank you so much for your masterful songwriting, hitting hard at subjects that most experience but few have the temerity to write about. Here's hoping that legions of young humans possessing two X chromosomes will be inspired by you to be the change the world needs, that they will take up their ukuleles, or sousaphones, or atomic powered kazoos and go forth to show the way to a brighter and more joyful future. And if a few of those with a Y chromosome join in, the more the merrier.

    just sent this to a suicidal friend, who is clearly indicating they don't want to continue breathing. she was raped by her father. later he commited suicide and she had to pay for his funersl. the world has so much pain. it is hard to breathe in all this pain.
    i feel powerless. i am powerless over her actions.
