Prima Facie - This Is Me (Inspired Song) by Meltsy Jinx

2 days ago, I caught "Prima Facie" (starring Jodie Comer) at my local theater. It was brilliant to say the least. Sadly, it was a video playback. If I caught it live, I would've turned into a puddle by the end of the performance. As it was, there were so many moments I felt arrested and confronted... especially in the second half. But... also grateful that this show is made accessible to a wider audience because of the recording. =')

I always say that a great show/performance often leaves me with more questions than answers, simply because I love to be engaged and challenged in the way I've understood or perceive things/issues/people/culture/life etc. And Prima Facie did it. There are so many lines in the performance that resonated with me, and I felt compelled to express my deep gratitude and ache in song... So, so this is it — "This Is Me".

This piece is not the official soundtrack of Prima Facie. This is art inspired by art (and lived experience). And I hope that you will find comfort and strength in your own journeys and stories. Your truth is valid and you matter.

If anyone wants to share how the show/performance affected or impacted you, I'd love to hear it in the comments below!
