    SOUNDTRACK: Alive In New Light by IAMX

    March 7, 2026 / No Comments

    Soundtrack to Vitale Brothers: End It All by Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow

    Alive In New Light by IAMX for a book about starting over, pulling through, and coming home.

    There’s a power much bigger than hate
    Still lost in the urge to annihilate
    But I know I will overcome this
    You dragged me through the darkest days
    By the skin of my teeth you restored my fate
    And I raised myself out of the ashes

    Now I’m alive in new light
    I’m alive in new light
    Now I’m alive in new light
    I am alive in new light

    There’s a power much bigger than hate
    Still lost in the urge to annihilate
    But I know I will overcome this
    You dragged me through the darkest days
    By the skin of my teeth you restored my fate
    And I raised myself out of the ashes

    Now I’m alive in new light
    I’m alive in new light
    Now I’m alive in new light
    I am alive in new light

    I was carrying the weight of the universe
    The typical brittle perfectionist
    Confused by my every decision
    One day I was being the hero
    The next I was playing the coward
    Burnt out by my overreaction

    Now I’m alive in new light
    I’m alive in new light
    Now I’m alive in new light
    I am alive in new light

    There were times when I thought that my heart would stop
    Running for a bleak horizon
    Locked in my obsessions
    And now I am the raindrop
    I am the tulip
    I have learned compassion

    Now I’m alive in new light
    I’m alive in new light
    Now I’m alive in new light
    I am alive

    FLICKer: Lip Crush 2

    March 5, 2026 / No Comments

    Featuring LGBT short films I found around the interwebz a.k.a Youtube. Okay sucky intro, but yeah, that’s it.


    It’s been two weeks since Tyler and Oliver uploaded their video to YouTube, and the world hasn’t stopped spinning since. Those fleeting kisses have become a constant, but now, as they prepare to attend Tyler’s mom’s wedding, they must confront what their friendship is becoming. As they navigate these blurred lines, they realize that time, like their feelings, can stretch or rush by, depending on how they choose to see it.
