DESCRIPTION:
Rae Spoon and Chelsea McMullan's follow up to hit NFB Sundance documentary musical, My Prairie Home. A music video response to the trend toward laws that regulate how people use bathrooms according to their assigned sex at birth. Twenty-three LGBTQ and ally youth participants made their own monster or beast costumes and filmed this music video in an accessible, all-gender bathroom to show that everything is better when it's inclusive.

Lyrics:

The fever stays away most of the time
Until it doesn’t and I fall out of line.
I want to live like this,I want to live like this,
I want to live like this all the time.

I hear them calling
from all around.
The beasts of wanting
say “let me out”

It has it’s way of of finding me.
I could stay underground, but I want to sing.
I want to live like this,I want to live like this,
I want to live like this all the time.

I hear them calling
from all around.
The beasts of wanting
say “let me out”

So let’s take a chance and scream at the wind.
Without your call my life’s not worth a thing.
I want to live like this,I want to live like this,
I want to live like this all the time.

I hear them calling
from all around.
The beasts of wanting
say “let me out”
