Survival Songs - A Track-by-Track Dive with Derek Webb

I sat down with artist Derek Webb to unpack his urgent new album Survival Songs. Written and recorded in just three weeks, the album is a raw love letter to the queer and trans community—and a protest against the political and spiritual forces targeting them.

We talk about allyship, trauma, painted nails as safety devices, and what it means to draw fire away from the people you love. Derek doesn’t just talk about support—he lives it. Track by track, we dive into the stories behind Queer Kid, Nail Polish, I Was There Too, Sola Translove, and more.

If you’re navigating your own deconstruction, questioning what it means to love bravely, or wondering how to start being an ally—this episode is medicine.
