Hello everyone! 😊
How are you doing?
I hope you had and have a great easter weekend!
Mine was very good so far. Tried to relax and stay away from work a bit. We made a bicycle tour on friday and just chilled in the sun yesterday and today. 😊
I will still take it slow tomorrow and then will be back to work on tuesday.
What did you guys do during the weekend?
I am uploading all my tracks here in chronological order. So today I want to show you my next song, which was a collaboration with 2 german musicians.
This song is called "Humanity".
The instrumental was done by "Miss Günnie T.", a very talented german DJ. She is one of the best I know, so it was an honor to work with her.
The german singer "Jaydine" wrote the lyrics and sang on it.
I helped with some more tweaks in the instrumental and with mixing, and also put my vocals and voice to it.
To be honest, I am not satisfied with the final song at all. The mastering is not the way I would have done it, and the voice of the singer is not properly mixed. And my voice is way too low in volume, you can barely understand what I say, but the singer insisted on it to stay like this.
We would have been able to produce a much better song, but well. Sometimes it´s not something you have in hand.
Nevertheless, this song is important to me. Because it is about humanity, tolerance, freedom and self-fulfillment.
All 3 of us are either bisexual or homosexual, so we know very well how hard it can be to come out. Everyone of us had to deal with alot of intolerance, bullying and injustice in our lives, just because we love girls. Yeah big deal right? 😐 Well for some people this still seems to be a big deal, and that is very sad. I truly hope these people one day can overcome their fears and accept people just as they are, no matter if you love girls or boys or both.
I had to deal with alot of intolerance and even got beaten at school for beeing bisexual.
Not only for beeing bisexual, but also for just beeing "different". I did not dress how everybody else did, I just did not float with the current, and people hated this.
I have always been different and dreamed of beeing "big" somehow, dreamed of beeing able to make a change to the world. And I still do.
I have been bullied for almost 10 years in school for many things, not only for beeing bisexual. Mostly from guys who were twice as tall then me. They insulted me, stole my things, damaged my things, spit in my face and beat me so bad that sometimes I wasn´t able to walk for some days.
This ruined alot of my teenager years. And it made scars which are too big to ever heal fully. I never managed to be myself after these terrible years. I was too afraid. I was sure, the way I am is not ok, not right and I have to be ashamed for myself!
It took me more than 10 years and alot of therapy to overcome these shit thoughts and all the things that happened. Even today I am quite unsure of myself at times and afraid that someone will start bullying me again for just beeing myself.
But this needs to stop!
I don´t want anybody to suffer the way I did. I don´t want anybody to be too afraid of beeing theirselves, only because others can´t handle you and are too limited in their thoughts to be able to cope with self-fulfillment and tolerance.
This is what I always wanted to bring to the world: Tolerance and FAITH in beeing yourself.
Please, don´t let anybody tell you that you are not ok, only because you are "different", only because you have big dreams, only because you are trying to be true to yourself.
Bullying will never stop. These people will always be there. But it is your choice what you make of it. Don´t let these people drag you down. Have faith in yourself, because you are what the world needs to evolve into a better place: People who are different, who have big dreams. You will be the one that help changes the world if you just keep going with beeing YOU. So please, don´t let anyone ever stop you from beeing you!
They managed to stop me far too long, and it took me a long long while to search to be able to find my real me again. It was painful and I feel as if I lost years and years of my life.
You don´t have to experience the same thing.
I know it will be hard sometimes.
But if you feel down, please remember that there are people who love you just the way you are. And there is a reason why you are as you are, and why you have been given the talents and passions that burn inside of you.
You will have a fantastic life if you follow the way of your heart and guts, if you follow the things that make you happy, no matter what others say. Don´t let anyone put out the fire inside of you, like they did with me. Keep going, no matter how hard it will be sometimes. You know what is right for you and it will lead you to your goal!
I truly hope that I can help you with this. If it only helps one person to just keep going, I achieved my goal in writing this here. And I truly hope as my brand and art grows, I will be able to use my name and support people who suffer from what I had to suffer and give them faith and keep them going! I truly hope that I earn enough some day to support others in their art and dreams and help them just be themselves. You are not alone, and will never be! ❤️
So even if I am not happy with the outcome of this song, it carries a huge message and means alot to me, and will always keep me going when my demons come back from time to time.
This post is very personal, and it is always a "risk" to reveal myself. So I thank you very much for treating this issue so thoughtfully!
I hope to see you soon! 💜
Best regards,
RAVEN 🐦
I am very thankful for everyone who supports me on my journey!!

That song sounds rather nice but will listen to it more carefully when in the correct time since I was now listening to a different stuff...
I didn't know about you but thanks to the evil Twitter came here haha... I'm glad cos love discovering new music and musicians.
I read your story, you have one for sure! I think the fact that you're writting it down and sharing it with us means a lot, not a simple grey person can do such thing and overcome those great obstacles of life. I think you must be proud but hope you won't fall in the trap of this kind of "sexual liberation fundamentalism" that is all over around.
When someone "different" came to me to tell that he/she was this or that thing I told him/her that labels are for things, you are a person with a name and that's all I need to know. Sexual preferences or identity is a very deep feeling that one must deal with. No one has nothing to do with it... obviously we live under the idiots tirany that pretend they have any right to tell people how they must be or behave, children and youngsteers may be really cruel at a times but in my humble opinion it's only ignorance.
I will be, as I said before, listening to your stuff.
Btw we have a lot in common: we love music, freedom, integrity and women! 😁
Nice to meet you @ravenmus1c
Hey! :) Thanks alot for reading through my post and listening to the song, even though you don´t know me!
Thank you!
I think I understand the kind of trap you mean, but I am not this kind of person. I just want that everybody can be the way they are without having to be ashamed or feeling bad for themselves. And I really hope that I can help people who are stuck in the same situation I was stuck at and it took me way too long to find a way out. Hopefully I can show these people are way out of their situation or can at least be some kind of hope.
Thanks alot for taking the time to comment on my post. Very nice to meet you too! =)

Thanks for sharing Raven!
I appreciate the story and explanation of the song, well spoken. A lot of thought went into this I see and I'm grateful to have a chance to listen. I'm sorry you had to go through so much to become the strong artist you are today.💎 I've never commented on your music here because I'm a newer fan, but I love it and I'm a proud holder of raven coin. 😄
Excited to see where following your journey takes me haha. 🔥
!PIZZA
Thank you for reading!
Thanks for these kind words. I appreciate this very much! And also your support with the token. You are the kind of person that keeps me going, even if it´s hard sometimes. So thank you! <3 !PIZZA
good post, I am very sorry for what you are going through, you and many more people. The truth is that I do not understand that mentality of wanting to harm a person just because of their different tastes or thoughts, each one must do what they want and what they like, without harming anyone. Here we say "Your rights end where mine begin" It's a shame that we are in the 21st century and there are people so retrograde. I wish you the best
Yes you are totally right. I don´t understand as well... Thank you for your words and for always beeing there for me!! <3 !PIZZA
Wow what a strong message. And so true! Bein different takes courage. Albert Einstein once said, he preferred being alone because he hated to adapt just to "fit in".
All the geniuses in the world are "different". Now look at you. On the way to rock it :) Just at the beginning of the mountain and so much great things are waiting for you :)
Hey!
Yes I can totally relate to what he said!!
I think someone needs to stand up and fight for justice, tolerance, transparency and honesty.. Even if that means you will have a tough life.
Thank you for these encouraging words! :)
You are awesome the way you are and I love you for it, screw those suckers! It ain't no risk to reveal yourself because if anyone dares to bully you now I will personally travel to wherever the hell you are and stick a bunch of fireworks in their mouth and light it up. You are warned mother f&$ers!
In all these years I've got to know you a lot you are simply a great person, talented and humble, you deserve what you are achieving now and a hell lot more, with this attitude of faith in yourself and the effort you are putting, it will all come eventually!!
I tell you all the time, but once more, you are amazing and badass!
😘💜
!PIZZA
Hahah! I hope you don´t have to do this!!
No seriously... Thank you so much for always beeing at my side! <3 You helped me the last years to finally become myself, and to have the courage to reveal this self to the world and just do my thing.
This is the biggest gift someone could give to me...
What you went through was terrible. I am so sorry, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading! It´s ok. Everyone experienced bad things in life I guess.
Holy cow! That is awful. I was also different but never had any problems like this. People should at least tolerate how people are and what they believe. As long as nobody comes to me and indoctrinate his believe and way to life, I'm good with every color, god, believe system and culture. It is not that hard to open your mind and give people a chance to show who they are.
Peace!
!PIZZA
That´s so true. But still, many people are intolerant or just to "stupid" to open up their minds. Well it is as it is, I will just make the best of it. :)
Nice track Raven we still got to do some music together sometime also
Thank you! =) Oh yes definitely! I hope to be able to make more music soon!
I can see you're a perfectionist! But I still like the song. I believe you're very talented, so I'll keep my eye on your content!
Thank you for sharing, even though in your opinion it's not perfect :)
Yes I really am! :D Well thank you alot for listening, and I am happy that you like it! :)
Wow, that sucks. I mean I was kind of bullied in school, but nothing like that. I can't even imagine. I guess the good thing is we are more free to be ourselves. It's sad that the world is still pretty intolerant of a lot of stuff though. Maybe one day we will reach a state of harmony. I hope it happens sooner rather than later.
Yeah it´s very sad, because as long as you don´t harm anyone, why do people have a problem when you are just yourself? I hope so too! At least I will try to make a world a more tolerant place as good as I can.

Thank you so much for your support! <3 !PIZZA
Wow, You've been through some shit! I am glad that you were able to come back from what you went through, I know it must have been a really hard thing.
I remember when I was young I got picked on a lot too. The thing is it wasn't because I was bisexual but because I was too sexual. The funny thing is I wasn't really that sexual, instead I was pretty with really long hair and boys were attracted to me. If I hung with the boys, I was called a whore and if I hung with the girls they just wanted to talk about the boys. I just felt more comfortable with the boys so people always thought that I must be sleeping with all of them when none of them wasn't even my boyfriend. enough about me.
I wish that people would just learn to respect each other & realize that we are not all alike, that's what's make us individuals. I have children & grandchildren who are bisexual or have gone through a phase in their lives where they experimented with same sex friends. I never looked at them any differently, I loved them for who they are & if they want a same sex partner that's their choice.
Everyone has a right to their choice no matter their age, color, sex, ethnicity, or whatever. But there will always be some people in this world that will never respect & love others for who they are.
I hope you have raised above all that now for you are on a higher path in your life & you got it going on. Stay strong and most of all 'BE YOU!'

Also, about the song, I like that, the vocals could have be a little clearer and the background was low like you said but still not bad.
Also how can I find any other music you have out or is all your stuff with Miss Gunnie?
Hey! Thanks for also telling me your story. I am sorry that you experienced something similar.. The world is full of intolerant people, but I just believe in the better, that´s why I will continue fighting for this.
Yeah at some days it´s really hard to keep my head up, I am not good at this. But I will always try to stand up again and continue.
Thanks for your kind words!! <3
You can find all of my music here:

Or also on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuBtAbFs-bqzjDv9pQfT7xg
Yes, if there were only more people in the world like us to outpower the ugliness.
Thanks, I like what I've heard so far so I will be listening to more. I have even added the couple I found on iTunes to my library.
Oh yes! The world needs more of this...
All we can do is be true to ourselves and stand to our word an be tolerant.. If people like it or not.
Oh thanks alot! =) Happy that you like it!
Nice track, I'm sorry for all the things that happened to you, as a lesbian, I know very well how hard it can be (even though I have never been fully out), but also as a person that has dealed with a lot of bullying I feel like a can relate a lot to the things you described in your post, I hope things go well from now on, good post.
Hey! Thanks alot for reading and supporting!! I am sorry that you had to deal with bullying also! I hope it doesn´t affect you too much!
Yes, it´s tough that you have to deal with these kinds of things only cause you love girls. It affected my life really much, I had sooo many problems through it, not only the few things I described in my post. But everything makes you stronger, and I am happy that these things made me to the person I am now. :)

Thank you! =) Happy that you like it! Yeah I wish my vocals were louder but well. I think I am just too picky about that. :D
You're admirable person, you had gone through a hard time of being bullied, but look how are you still standing and top of them. Many people would relate this song, not only me but more of us experienced this kind of situation. We're happy to hear this song.😄
Thank you so much!! =) This kind of support keeps me going! I am happy that you like it, and thanks for your kind words! !PIZZA
