Katie Pruitt - Normal

[@Bigtime1998]

This is a powerhouse of a song - song writing at its highest level. The music, the lyrics, the voice/vocals. There is no praise high enough.

[@DragonflyStigma]

Absolutely magnificent! Sit, listen, repeat...

[@thomasbrissee3251]

Beautiful expression of that "lost" feeling some of us have. On the topic, I never felt "normal" or really understand the desire to be. Let's just be weird, abnormal, eccentric, unusual and express love when we see those things in other humans. The world is a more colorful place if we all do that. Thank you Katie for sharing your art with the world.

[@suecoelho467]

Dear thomasbrissee…WHAT IS NORMAL!? The truth is we are all trying to find ourselves, our place. You are Loved and Valued ❤

[@thomasbrissee3251]

Thank you.Peace Love and comfort to you and all humans!

[@bangorang1x5th]

I look forward to coming back one day soon when this has millions of views and Pruitt has millions of fans. For now, I'll just keep hitting replay.

[@folksinger1959]

I’ve waited a long time for someone with a gift like yours to write this song. I have listened to it over and over. It is just so damn beautiful. And so real. Thank you.

[@jeffreylebowski3216]

HA-HAAAA! TRIUMPH! I could finally listen to the whole song without crying even once! That's right! YOU'LL NEVER BREAK ME AGAIN, KATIE PRUITT! ❤

[@wurb201]

One of the smaller, but acutely painful, indignities of 2020 was he cancellation of Pruitt's tour. I can only assume that national exposure would've justifiably thrust her more fully into the public eye. Here's hoping 2021 proves her year. This is, of course, beautiful.

[@coen7779]

Expectations is a hidden gem of 2020!

[@SilloetOfficial]

your voice is heavenly

[@mossyguy]

i just discovered this song today and im blown away. its such a beautiful song and lyrics and voice i could listen to it forever. my mum is catholic and we used to go to church a lot and i remember before i came out the absolute fear of being 'different' and the confusion of why i couldn't just be normal. this song really just painted those emotions so perfectly. i wish i could wrap this song around myself it is so so comforting

[@bobgreenwald8715]

Your strength comes from beauty inside. There is no right way, only your way. Stay true and thank you.

[@MallettMotion]

Hi :) Yes, a beautiful song....melodically. It's also so sad. There was so much potential for her to embrace her Catholic life, so many beautiful things would've come from that. Just a word on what you said, if everyone went their way the world would be a very messed up place. There is I guess you could say a "right" way, in fact it's the only way, and she passed it up.

[@phillippayne8412]

What a beautiful childhood memory film Katie, my wife and I have 3 beautiful ladies in there early to late thirties, and about 14 years ago our youngest had gone with friends for the night , About 11pm the phone rang with our youngest daughter obviously had to much to drink,she was crying and just said sorry dad I’ve got something to tell you,I thought hear we go she’s pregnant,I said go on and she said I’m a lesbian I’m gay and I said have you grown two heads and crying she said no,And I said Laura your mom and myself love you unconditional.she is now a nurse bless her.

[@fredmichaels418]

Laura Payne has a Great set of Parents . Please thank her for her Service on the Front Lines of this Pandemic . She is in my Prayers , may she , and whoever she Loves have a Long and Happy life Together ; Safe , Hale and Whole . Peace to You and the rest of your family . Thank you for Sharing a glimpse into your World . Be Safe , all your Girls still need you .

[@odothedoll2657]

My lesbian heart can’t handle this. It’s so comforting to hear someone write a song about this.

[@jonathankrupka6395]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@Sarah.g.carter]

we're all crying. its okay.

[@Elizabeth-st4xk]

Yep yep yep

[@billcrawford4547]

So funny, so true

[@liliice7730]

❤❤❤ I've never felt more seen by a song, going on repeat forever now!

[@robinmiller5070]

Wow, just wow. Very deep, emotional song. Could of been me 40 years ago.

[@keralytekid]

I felt every word she sang in this song. From her Catholic upbringing to her discovering new love - all of it! Everything about her and this song is beautiful.

[@MallettMotion]

So sad, if only she fully understood the value of Christ and Catholicism. But of course, I've got to learn this myself at time too.

[@dspguitar]

This just flat out floors me.

[@BrettAltmanMusic]

such a beautiful video, wow. really really touching

[@johndonovan4]

You were so lucky to have parents to document your life.

[@markvanlinder9893]

My favorite song on the album. Thanks so much for your music!

[@christinasims3524]

This song means the world to me

[@andreapfeuti1186]

Most beautiful song...what a gift to be able to create such soul touching music! Was listening to it over and over again...very talented young woman you are Katie.

[@LivGreene]

ugly crying. thank you Katie

[@nikytamayo]

This deserves more exposure. Lovely. And timely.

[@scotthadley7975]

Amazing, when truth brings tears to my eyes!

[@fredmichaels418]

Well Said !

[@melindasmith2017]

The video, the lyrics, the musc, all amazing!

[@gerge211]

Another great video and great song Katie!! You are so, so, so normal to me. I can only hope that my kids grow up to be like you. I would be extremely proud if they did.

[@KaiteePage]

Beautiful.

[@invisibilly1946]

It's too dang good

[@domidero7004]

Katie you are already a classic... Thank you for all awesome work, wish you the best from Romania 🇷🇴🤗😘

[@prinpak6]

Listen to the whole album, every song is at least this good with a message that all need to hear and accept

[@louiserylance2543]

Just amazing! Katie I hope you come back to UK next year x

[@maxpower2542]

Absolutely the best album of 2020. Top to bottom this album is absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for the follow up.

[@louiserylance2543]

Finally get to hear Katie again and the absolute gem of an album!

[@djeep7740]

Every song on this LP is is really good....!

[@Tony-qu5st]

Oh my god, this song is so amazing!! Really love this song! ❤️

[@blakekaiser7038]

Don't ever try to be normal, because god has big plans for you, so stand tall, pick you head up, and be yourself! God loves you so you should too!

[@ascotia]

Not to distract from how beautiful this song is, but that is some impressive swimming for such a young kid @ 3:08. Katie Pruitt, singer/songwriter/swimmer!

[@maxpower2542]

Her voice gives me chills. Love the tone. It's a refreshing change from all the robot sounding pop and hip hop "stars" out there. Amazing album.

[@emersonlangstaff1527]

Love her! Just discovered this amazing writer and singer. Always feel so touched listening to her music...

[@kitkat1152003]

I came across this and clicked it for the sole reason that we have the same first name. I'm so glad I did. This is the most touching and beautiful song. Definitely my new favourite

[@janedeere1303]

WOW, you put it to words. Very soul baring, i'm sure a lot of young girls will love this, if they can bare to listen to it and dare to love themselves as they are. I wish that feeling was no longer true. It's getting better. I've watched the world change over 31yrs.

[@robertkohler1860]

Thanks! She's wonderful, I Had not heard of her.

[@meexmanila3303]

one of the best songs / melody ever made 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for this!

[@kateramig]

Musical medicine at its finest 👌🙏🙌

[@oliwiaszczodrowska4313]

crying, listening to it and thinking about hannah and baker from her name in the sky, this is literally about them, such a beautiful song

[@gladysbailey3459]

This song is so so beautiful. I know you used to do Broadway Dreams, and I'm not sure if you heard about Spencer Liff's choreography to this song, but when I tell you I bawled my eyes out back stage every night I mean it. This song is so touching and speaks directly to my teenage soul while I'm still trying to figure out my sexuality and who I am. Spectacular work

[@Tony-qu5st]

You got a new fan!

[@tetelele2752]

Marchin' in line in the halls of my Catholic school Seven Hail Marys if I copped an attitude And God was a word I had spoken but I hardly knew Kneelin' down at the altar with no clue who I was talkin' to Stumblin' 'round Athens with frat boys in hot pursuit Left me starin' at the ceilin', pissed off and feelin' used Wasted and worn out and wonderin', "Where do I fit?" And scared as hell 'cause I knew I was different What's it like to be normal? To want what normal girls should? God knows life would be easier If I could be normal, then trust me, I would Trust me, I would Did they want what's best or did they want what's easiest? 'Cause I tried my best, but goddamn, was I curious And she had me high as the sun on a Saturday afternoon With no way to unsee this side of me that she introduced What's it like to be normal? To want what normal girls should? God knows life would be easier If I could be normal, then trust me, I would Trust me, I would Trust me, I would Trust me, I would Curled up on the couch, you look just as worn out as me Tryin' to act certain in a world of uncertainty And one night, the moonlight took over and I kissed your lips The world told us to fit in, but we did the opposite The world told us to fit in, but we did the opposite 💜💜

[@superTired-h1h]

Amazing! A guy at work told me he heard this song and thought of me. I'm 53 years old. And this young dude is asking me if I heard this song because I am gay. That's what this is all about. Connections. Music. Love.

[@markmarsh27]

A Great Song happens when a Singer Songwriter puts their whole heart on the line, there's no other way to do it. Katie does it every single time, in every perfect note. I cry every time I hear her because my Dad is a 79 year old gay Man who' is still afraid to be gay.

[@anitaidriss]

Amazing! Bravo ❤️

[@parispoet]

Just saw you on Cavern Sessions & I connected with this song so much. I grew up in a Catholic school & never felt like I "fit in". I have never felt like I have fit in this world. Now I know why...becuz I'm a Christian. Just love this song. ❤❤❤❤

[@dan5103]

Can not stop hearing these lyrics. Absolutely beautiful song. Thank you Katie ❤️

[@ralphbennett7227]

Beautiful song that has taught this macho straight man to never look down his nose at LGBTQ community

[@xandebelletti-BR]

OMG ❤️❤️

Gosh, you were a beautiful kid, it makes me think if you and Sam grew up in the same town you would’ve been best buds out in the woods building forts and doing really cool stuff!

[@lanceconkright4560]

Very meaningful. Like it a lot.

[@The_Jacen]

You have been an earworm in many Angelenos' ears. We can't wait for you to come and safely perform to sold out venues. Hopefully we can get a couple of nights out of you and your band *crosses fingers*

[@user-ed7si9no7i]

Your perfect.

[@world752]

It hurts.

Hullo everybody, hi K (:

[@quintondale7462]

💔

[@buffyfan5]

I also had Spider-Man pajamas with webs under the arms!

[@almondmilk9283]

so is this the "i'm not like other girls" anthem or something?

[@MewChocolateLuvHeart]

I see that this is a year old, so maybe you've hear some more about this song already, but it seems to be about being LGBTQ+ and wanting to be "normal" in the sense that being straight is "normal"/the norm (and does not attract comments, homophobia, etc.) Speaking as someone who's been raised Catholic, conservative Christian circles are especially rough for LGBTQ+ people since it's still seen as a sin to be anything but straight in most circles. So it's less "pick me" and more "I wish I was different than I am because I know that there are people out there who would hate me for being what I am".

[@111Looping]

You are already normal.

[@big_ben1918]

That’s the place where the women fell in the water

[@debitbaral4087]

dude perfect stereotypes

[@gingerbennett527]

beautifully poignant!

[@jayeads]

I'm so glad you did the opposite

[@elle_blair]

But… why would she want to be normal? So she doesn’t want to be gay? That’s not a great message. I like the bulk of the song; but that bit hurts.
