Perfume Genius - Dark Parts free for downloading

I always loved this song... but I have reached a point where I understand it deeply. And it made me cry for the first time. Beautiful song, more than I had once thought it to be...

This made me feel incredible 

His mom currently runs the gsa at my high school, used to be the vice principal and teach at the middle school I went to.

"I will take the dark parts of your heart into my heart" the most tragic yet beautiful lyric i've ever heard.❤️

His love and support of his mother touches my heart in a profound way. This song stays with me. Year after year, I go back to his work and this song is always my emotional rescue.

Wow, your music is incredibly good and your mother is absolutely stunning. Congratulations Mike   

''I will take the dark part of your heart into my heart.'' Beautiful and tragic. When I hear that line I think about images of a pregnant woman rubbing her belly knowing that whatever she went through or experienced and the effect it has on her mentally could get passed on to her child. Maybe even fear and/or guilt that your child might go through the same thing since they're basically one half of you. And then I visualize the fetus growing and the actual birth. Weird non logical scene of the mothers dark blood coming from her heart going into the child creating a heart-literally. It just makes me think how connected we really are with the humans who made us, who's DNA we share. It makes me feel! It's been a while since a  lyric like that has ever made me think or visualize my own concept of a song in a very very long time. You're a fantastic song writer Mike, a true genius. Thank you. 

He reminds me of Simon from Misfits. Cute. 

Beautiful.  Shed a tear thinking of my mother.

I'm so sorry you're mom had to go through something so painful. I can relate as my mother was also sexually abused by my grandfather. It's a horrible situation and you're right, your love just needs to be strong to not let something so malicious and painful break you. Congrats to your mom, she's a strong woman.

this makes me feel sad, but a good, calm, hopeful kind of sad. not the kind of sad that makes you cry and scream so loudly and painfully that can't make another sound, but the kind of sad you feel when you're lying in bed looking up at the ceiling, tearing up but only silently.. not making a sound, just focusing on his words and trusting them wholeheartedly. it feels extraordinary to have something so beautiful to believe in. thank you, mike.

You've managed to make my heart cry and smile at the same time with your beautiful song; love you for doing it. Thank you.

Oh and for the people wondering about the strange mannequin thing, my interpretation was that it stood for basically "the elephant in the room". This traumatic experience happened and they've moved past it, but it's always kinda just there lurking in the corner. When Mike's boyfriend is cooking in the kitchen the mannequin is there until he shakes his head like dispelling a nasty though and then it just vanishes. So these harmful memories are always there, but it's best not to dwell on them. We should acknowledge that they happened, that they're a part of us, and then move on.

The hands of God were bigger than grandpa's eyes But still he broke the elastic on your waist But he'll never break you, baby But he'll never break you, baby Oh oh oh oh oh oh... The hands of God were bigger than grandpa's eyes But he's long gone The love you feel is strong The love you feel is stronger I will take the dark part Of your heart into my heart I will take the dark part Of your heart into my heart

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR LITERALLY 2 WEEKS HAVING RANDOMLY REMEMBERED IT. I FINALLY FOUND IT HOLY GOSH.

My favorite song, off of one of my favorite albums of all time, from possibly my favorite musician of all time. Therefore, one of my favorite songs ever conceived. Tragically gorgeous.

HIS MOTHER IS MY TEACHER!!!!

This is really f**king beautiful.

He sounds exactly like Sufjan Stevens when he sings the line "I will take the dark part." It's crazy.
