Every single Thing feels like opening a present you made just for us. This way of making art feels so connected, Amanda. Thank you for all of it. I love you. xxx \|/

Jason's piano sounds just like the one at my Grandad's house. It was the first one I ever played. It dominates this song for me, this just makes me miss my Grandad. <3 Side note; she's not my kid, but I'm with my niece a lot. She was at that point where they've just learnt to run and they RUN FUCKING EVERYWHERE. We weren't even outside, she was just running from end to end of the lounge, and when she reached me sitting on the sofa (I was talking with my sister/her mum at the time), I was catching her and flinging her up so she landed on me. One of these approaches didn't go to plan - I'd moved my foot, she didn't see it, and just before she reached my hand she tripped and smacked her head on the table I had my tea on. She had an immediate bump, this huge red protrusion, and screamed bloody murder. I scooped her up and cuddled her, mum gave her a magic kiss. She's obviously fine. But even thinking about it makes me heart race and me feel sick. At least the baby didn't die. <3

In addition to thanking you for all of your beautiful gifts and being so proud to be a part of helping you do what you do, I was wondering how you feel about having eyebrows again. I never imagined you another way, but this is a new (and equally you) beautiful. Not to say one is better than the other, just a new beautiful. :)

This song is AMAZING. I'm so moved. I have a lot of conflicting feelings about motherhood (having just made a promise to my partner that we wouldn't have kids for at least 5 years) and this song was just. Perfect. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Amanda <3 Your music and your words are helping me so much through an incredibly difficult time. I love you. Thank you for letting us be part. It means so much to me. (sorry for my not-so-good English, it's not my native language :))

This is the kind of song that harkens back to how poetry and stories started in the first place...like Beowulf or the Odyssey. People will be singing these stories to each other, and maybe adding more and more adventures onto it--eventually you'll be saving Ash from dragons

I waited for a quiet moment to listen at night *with headphones* and cried like a baby (dad of two kids, 13 year-old daughter who's really getting into music, and a 10-year old boy who loves legos). We had such similar experiences, as has everyone we know who's brave enough to admit it. I played it last night for my wife, who also cried, though not as much, surprisingly (I was pretty sleep-deprived and away on a business trip when I listened). Thank you for this, and for everything else you create. I'm so happy and proud to be even a small part of helping you make all of this possible. I'll be posting links to your afp.net! xoxo (ps is that 18th st? i'm there a lot.)

This. Is. Maximum brilliance. I'm a new patron so I'm going back through the feed. When I emailed you a couple of months ago, I didn't even know this existed. And I emailed you about basically the same shit. I shall paste it here, but only because same-same. Not for a reply. You've already replied in the best AFP way possible - a song and a story. I love you, my sister. The long(ish) email: (ugh, I don't like being a long commenter) Dear Ms. Palmer, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time, along with your husband. And now, as a (very) new mother at 37 years old, I'm also a fan of little Anthony and your exciting tribulations and adventures in motherhood. I'll be frank. I'm having a rough time as a new mother. I am an artist, like you, and we're both burdened and blessed with "the feels" if you will. As I was pregnant through your first handful of months as being a new mom and experiencing it all, I watched your posts as they came in to see how a new mom with an artist heart of "the feels" dealt with the intensity of a love that can only be experienced. Of course, I could never be prepared for THAT moment - the one where they put your child on your chest for the first time, naked/cold/andafraid, and everything you've ever known prior to that moment was utter bullshit. BUT -- I watch my mentors and people of like mind, to take cues on how to function with this new THING. And though you're not the only one I watched, I did watch you guys with a fervor of how to deal. Firstly, I must commend you on not only keeping your integrity as an artist, but your artistry being enhanced by being a new mom. Secondly, and most importantly, I must ask you -- HOW. THE FUCK. DO YOU DEAL. WITH THIS NEW. INTENSE. LOVE?! I sit here, on my back porch with an 8-day-old child in the living room with her father, glass of wine in my hand, cigarette in the other (I'm pump and dump right now - don't worry), and I'm just crying onto my phone as I type out this email to you because I'm lost as shit. Did you have these moments of... "is my child fed enough?" "Why is he crying uncontrollably?" "Will I fuck him up?" "Will I ever be good enough for him?" "Why does his hair smell like all the gods in all the universe are having a celebration party in an infinitesimal space?" I ask you this, not as a fan to an artist, but as new mother to new mother whose heart bleeds gapingly when they make that little puckered "O" with their mouths. Tell me. Feed me with some insight. I graciously ask for help. With friendship from afar, Julie Shelton PS - apparently Sir Anthony and I share a birthday, i.e. the most common birthday of the year, September 16. To him, I say, cheers friend. I raise my glass to you, sir.
