Oh what joy it is to collab with talented folks! MPX, your music has a way of lifting the spirits even when shit’s blowing up all around! I’m forever grateful to be invited on the journey. 🙏 and for my airport name! And to be able to call you a friend! You, me, us, them! ❤️
“It was this realization, in part, which led me to write in my journal, nearly four years ago, that ‘my characters are the ordinary and the common, the oft-neglected and forgotten, the vessels of beauty and originality that go unnoticed or ignored.’ At the time, I was frustrated by the dearth of ordinary people—tired, plain-looking, and financially-challenged people like myself—in the literature, film, and art I was currently exploring. Where were people who delighted at locking gaze with a blue jay, who nibbled hangnails, folded laundry, bounced checks, and overslept? Sure, they were there. But only as secondary characters, only as mundane silhouettes, as expendable anecdotes or paradigms of boredom. They were never the center of attention, never what the story was *about*.”
OH LA LA!!! All three videos but especially ABC Superhero Tonika's adorable visualization of ABC Superhero Micropixie's honey-sweet music sent my oxytocin levels through the roof! 😻💕😍 This would make a wonderful prescription for depression—especially appropriate on the longest night of the year.
This is so delightful. I really like the piano at the start of the bridge. Love the beauty of the imagery. Love the gentle chants and drum swells. Love the bees. So much good
Love you back mister, and thank you, TNG. I consider you also to be an ABC! One day when I have more of my unfinished projects finished, you and I will make s’thing cool & lovely too. 🌟
I love the whole transcendental, psychedelic vibe of this! And the personal story behind it is inspiring too. The sound, the lyrics and the visuals work so well together. Very artistically done, you two!
What a true delight and powerful, essential message.
Yes, we are so much more than we've been told, fortunately it's all leaking out! Beautiful, inspiring, heart-warming and expansive. Thank you and Tonika. 💝

I'm always delighted by your work. And also your friendship... Love you TNK! ❤️
“Superhero is about the quiet power of ordinary people. You, me, them… all of us. We are powerful beyond measure, if only we recognized it.”
This is a recurring theme in my work, dating back to my first published essay from 1998 (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/from-the-archives-my-first-published), where I wrote:

You’re on OG Superhero, Margaret! So MAA is an insta airport name but OGS has a good sound to it too. 😉
Yesterday MAA and I had practically a whole conversation in ACNs over text. 🤣
😁
Accentuate the banal; it is far more interesting. MAA -- BTW instant ACN too ! -- I love your writing so much.

MPX music is a balm for the heart! Thank you, Margaret! Your support means a ton!
💛 to you both!
Aw, "honey-sweet music..." I'm touched! Thank you MAA 💕
Also, darn cute family there! They do grow up so fast, don’t they? Long days, short years.
Too cute and too fast, yes!
This is so delightful. I really like the piano at the start of the bridge. Love the beauty of the imagery. Love the gentle chants and drum swells. Love the bees. So much good

Love you guys!

Yesss. But after Christmas! Hectic here in summer.
Yep, definitely not now!
Love you right back, Green Man! Thanks for taking a listen and gander!
I second that! TNG is also an OGS!
Most def!

Thanks so much Noel! Looking forward to working with you in 2026!

Gracias from OLA, dear Kathleen! 💗
Thank you! 🙏
Too much cuteness! Sorry to hear this was written in a dark time tho, sometimes art is the only thing putting us back together x
So funny, I just DM'd you about my cute family vids and new video. Didn't realize you had already seen this post!
Yes, in my case that's what always works!
I love this song - was that really footage of you as a baby in the first video!?? Amazing if so. I'm a fan of all your creations MPX! xoxo <3
Aw, MDA, I feel the same about all of yours! Which baby do you mean? I saw (and heard) several…
But no, they are all my nieces and nephews! Ridiculously cute! I love ‘em so much 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿
Wow, that is is great song, so catchy, nice piano bits, really swings. Well done. And the new video fits well, it's delightful.
Thanks Mark! Glad you like... :)
You are one of my favorite artists and I really enjoyed this video!
Thank you!
Love Superhero! 😍💕
Maybe because you are one??? 💕✨
likewise! 💕
