Kat Cunning covers Death Cab For Cutie for The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
“I think music helps us because it's the stamp of humanity as a queer person or any marginalized person. If within your own nuclear family, you're not seen for who you are, you can find someone who sees you in art.” - Kat Cunning

Today in honor of Pride we’re releasing our next video in partnership with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (@800273talk) and our “Song That Found Me At The Right Time” series. This one features queer, musician and actor Kat Cunning who was in "Trinkets" and the upcoming J Lo movie “Marry Me.” Kat talks about their own mental health journey, identity and finding strength in creativity and within artists communities. They perform the song “I Will Follow You Into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie.

“‘I Will Follow You Into the Dark’ by Death Cab for Cutie is important to me because it saw me through my initial bouts with my own mental life, which like most very young people came with hormones and heartbreak. It also has lyrics in it that I think were bigger than me at the time that have really stood by me. I just know how much words can do.”
