Seán Barna‘s Wallflower, featuring Mirah, from his EP Internal Trembling, is a poignant tribute to the victims of the 2022 Colorado Springs gay bar shooting. The song honors Daniel Davis Aston, Kelly Loving, Ashley Paugh, Derrick Rump, and Raymond Green Vance, reflecting on the toll of such tragedies while grappling with the need for both public expression and personal space to mourn. With Mirah’s haunting vocals, the track blends stripped-back folk instrumentation, creating an intimate, raw atmosphere that celebrates the lives lost and reinforces the enduring strength of the queer community in the face of hate and loss.
