The Orlando massacre has led to many moving tributes and emotional speeches. Now, we have a song – Eli Lieb and Brandon Skeie have released “Pulse“, a beautiful, emotional song that encapsulates the tragedy, along with the outpouring of love and strength that we’ve seen in its aftermath.
Out gay singers Eli Lieb and Brandon Skeie penned an emotional duet in the wake of the Orlando gay nightclub massacre aptly titled, “Pulse.”
The singers dedicated the song to the victims of the mass shooting.
The most resonant lyric of the song might just be, “I shouldn’t have to change who I am to count as a human.”
Lieb and Skeie filmed their music video on the streets of West Hollywood on Sunday after writing the song in just a matter of hours.
So you say this is human
Your heartbeat versus mine
I’m in chains cause I’m choosing
showing love or living life
I shouldn’t have to leave where I stand
I shouldn’t have to change who I am
To count as a human
Feel my pulse
With your hand on my heart
You know it beats just as hard as yours
Feel my pulse
Feel my pulse
Can’t you see that im scarred
I’m just the same as you are so just
Feel my pulse
I wish I could reach them
And strip away what separates
It’s the same air we’re breathing
The same tears run down our face
So I don’t have to leave where I stand
And I don’t have to change who I am
To count as a human
Feel my pulse
With your hand on my heart
You know it beats just as hard as yours
Feel my pulse
Feel my pulse
Can’t you see that im scarred
I’m just the same as you are so just
Feel my pulse

Melissa McCarthy may play the funny lady onscreen, but off-screen, she’s… well, she’s equally as funny, actually. But in between the jokes, McCarthy is also one hell of a smart, inspiring celebrity. In her candid interview with People, McCarthy admits she “would do anything for a laugh,” but that isn’t the only thing that defines her.
She’s one of the most confident actresses out there, and it’s easy to love her for it, but even the most confident actress on the planet knows that criticism can suck. McCarthy’s faced plenty of her own, and here’s what she has to say about it:
I’ve never felt like I needed to change… I’ve always thought, “If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.” But sure, criticism can sometimes still get to me. Some things are so malicious, they knock the wind out of you.
