Perhaps one of the brightest spots at the recent Middlebury Social Awareness Festival featured the pop-folk band Kissed Her. The band's songs, sung by front man Caspar Paul, mostly appeal to women's issues, honoring the beauty of adoration with an identity of true equality. 

​

While the protests that accompanied the Festival were anything like warm and cozy, the music did fill an otherwise awkward void -- the need for humanity to come together -- which music facilitates perhaps better than any other phenomena. 

 

Lyrics, such as those from Speak of Love encapsulate a positive message of bringing one's best self to bear on the world and its problems:

​

Speak of style

And style is what you are

Speak of love

And love is what you are
