This is a little dream-like short I recorded on my trip back home to Nashville in May, 2006. The song is by Sibylle Baier, a dreamy and cool German actress from the 70's.

Is that East Nashville? (I live just down from Shelby Park.)

[CalperniaAddams]

Yes, Shelby Park and East Nashville =)

[xxNick78xx]

does she have kids?

[CalperniaAddams]

No, in this movie I'm home in Nashville and it's kind of from the perspective of my "motherland" and my real family... the dichotomy of who I was, and who I've become.

Calpernia, if you like this song you should check out the bands Mazzy Star, Nouvelle Vague, and the 60's french pop of Francoise Hardy, who all share a similar dreamy vibe.

P.S. I love your videos, they always make me smile.

[CalperniaAddams]

Yes, I have all of those artists in my iPod! =) (Edit Piaf, too)

@arab4lifemuslim4ever Whatever it is, it's coming for you in your nightmares tonight and it is NOT happy.

[mattphat23]

the song choice was an absolutely perfect. it spoke volumes to me with the video. do you have a good relationship with your parents/family? you can respond directly via message if you prefer. *muah*

@EmoCandyPop That's because she's not a boy, she's a girl. >_> Honestly. I know that you wrote that four months ago, but still...

[DarkWillUser]

Wow, you are so pretty even without a lot of makeup.

[EmoCandyPop]

O.o you look like a real girl...no way can you be a boy. o.o

I'm a beautiful transsexual like yourself and I can empathize about the journey of revisiting your roots. Even though the world sees me as a beautiful, talented hairstylist and educator, my home town still sees me as once handsome man that threw away his manhood. The don't say it per say, but you can always sense it. I HATE going home so I avoid it at all cost. It's sad to to look at all the faces that view you as being deceased because of your lifestyle choice. True, but sad ☹.

[octabreaker]

amazing, like always! i LOVE watching your videos callie :)

[thelostgirl007]

I will say that I LOVE that red glitter lip stick you were wearing and I want it. You kind of look like a friends of mines girlfriend but I know you aren't the same person cause her name is Lauren lol.

[fighter79poet]

You look beautiful even though you look so sad here.

[LadyLiberty2006]

Although ur life wasnt easy i myself would choose to live in your shoes to Experience REAL TRUE LOVE..im sorry evilness in the world destroyed that very thing thing that brought out the best of YOU.. his gone but WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.. PLEASE DONT LET HIS MEMORIES/LIFE BE FORGOTTEN N LOSTED...

Beautiful song, beautifully edited video. The mixture of tender and abrasive imagery here is wonderful.

[TheKidFromYTown]
