time slips away from the present for days i'm a hollow shell my name sounds unpleasant your pronunciation’s the only spell that calms my heart my mind dismounts its overburdened carousel under the weight of confession to play seems to flirt with hell but today with your blessing the boardwalk became a mercurial amusement park the horses came to life & left the carousel before the funhouse fell apart the horses came to life & left the carousel i can't shake this feeling the tide is coming in wooden planks concealing the breakers’ resurgence i can't shake this feeling admission's getting thin note the free concessions i love the shape of your palate the flavor of caramel when you call me a habit you don't wanna break well i hope to die & cross my heart a garden springs to life around the wishing well the tree of wisdom sheds its bark an apple falls & rolls under the carousel

These live recordings are artifacts from ".me.to.me. to you," a DIY mutual aid show performed by robin herold at her home on April 4, 2025.

Composed on acoustic guitar, piano, and with her voice from 2021-2024, the queer defector rock songs from robin's project-in-process ".me.to.me." convey a trans love story, a story of [be]longing. At their most anxious, the songs articulate mortifying self-address; at their most curious, they celebrate transformation & connectedness.

Attendees at ".me.to.me. to you" raised funds to help robin's friends secure gender-affirming healthcare & housing. Their fundraising efforts are ongoing—please continue to donate by following the instructions here: www.unsungstudio.org/me-to-me-to-you
