Sharon Van Etten: Not Myself

After the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shootings Sharon Van Etten turned her sadness into song and said, "We're all trying to just fit in, to belong, and to be ourselves. It's not even whether you're straight or gay or white or black — it's not any of those things. It's about being safe and being able to be yourself.”

After the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shootings Sharon Van Etten turned her sadness into song and said, "We're all trying to just fit in, to belong, and to be ourselves. It's not even whether you're straight or gay or white or black — it's not any of those things. It's about being safe and being able to be yourself.” Her new song, "Not Myself," was written in memory of the victims of Orlando with proceeds from the song supporting the work of the organization Everytown for Gun Safety.
