Pattie Gonia Shares New Queer Anthem “Made It Through The Night”
Critically acclaimed drag queen, songwriter and environmental activist Pattie Gonia is back with a brand new single, “Made It Through The Night” out now. The track is a love letter to the queer community and focuses on the power of survival, not just for the queer community, but for all of us who choose to be courageous.
Scientists believe that birds sing to each other in the morning as a way of telling each other they made it through the night. Pattie Gonia believes queer people do the same and that “pride is queer peoples’ birdsong.”
“This song is for everyone who has chosen to be courageous. Take pride in who you are. We made it through the night.” – Pattie Gonia
“Creating this song and music video was a celebration of Queer history” – Pattie Gonia
“Made It Through The Night” is produced by Grammy award-winning Producer Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Blake Mills, Andrew Bird) and features performances by violinist Paul Cartwright (Kendrick Lamar, Bright Eyes, Olivia Rodrigo) and drummer Amy Wood (Fiona Apple). Pattie Gonia spent a week in Los Angeles with queer artist Semler writing “Made It Through The Night.”
Pattie Gonia is currently nominated for a GLAAD Award in the category of Outstanding TV Journalism Segment titled “How Eco-Drag Queen Pattie Gonia Defines What It Means to Fight for the Environment” for her interview on ABC’s Nightline.
The new single follows Pattie’s most recent release, the empowering climate change anthem “Won’t Give Up,” with 19-time Grammy Award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Indigenous trans musician and Tiny Desk Contest winner Quinn Christopherson.
