When Truth Decides to Dance

I remember when I first heard “Call” – that lonely airport song that felt like heartbreak’s quiet echo. It was a cigarette break in sound form – heavy, quiet, real. Now, Reetoxa walks into the room again with something entirely different, but just as honest. Papa Loves Ladyboys shows up in rhythm, waving a flag of acceptance and cheeky joy.

It’s the story of an older man finally saying out loud what he’s known all his life. A moment of truth, a breath of freedom, and a rhythm that feels like release. The guitars shimmer, the groove bounces, and there’s that familiar Reetoxa honesty at the center – it just feels human, that’s all.

Reetoxa’s Papa Loves Ladyboys

Jason McKee once wrote about waiting for a call that never came. Now he writes about making one, to himself. It sounds like someone finding peace mid-verse, and I get that more than I should. There’s something deeply moving in how this track swaps sorrow for celebration, without ever losing sincerity. And it’s not a rebellion. It’s a permission – the kind you finally give yourself.

And that’s what makes Reetoxa so easy to root for. Each track feels like it came first, and the thinking came later. A truth you overhear, a secret turned into melody. I respect that.


A Story Wrapped in Rhythm and Courage

Papa Loves Ladyboys started from a simple, human spark. An older relative, tired of pretending. One family talk later, and an entire song came to life. You can hear the celebration inside the chords, the liberation in the groove. And it’s not about shock value. It’s about air finally filling the lungs after years of holding it in.

That’s what Papa Loves Ladyboys captures so well – that feeling of finally exhaling, even if the world’s still catching up.  There’s something charming about how he turns the subject on its head – playful lyrics, rock energy, and that gentle Aussie smile under it all.

This track becomes a little anthem for anyone who’s ever kept a part of themselves in the dark for too long. Love, acceptance, and rhythm – that’s the holy trinity of this track. And you can even dance to it, which might be the most powerful thing of all.

The Wink Before the Curtain Falls

Sitting as track twelve on Pines Salad, Papa Loves Ladyboys arrives like a breath between storms – a burst of colour right before the deeper shades of Bobbie and the closing whisper of Call. It’s that one moment in a long, emotional ride where the record exhales and lets itself laugh.

Jason wanted listeners to land here, to smile, to feel something unfiltered before the fade-out. After all the ghosts, grief, and self-repair that Pines Salad carries, this track steps in like sunlight sneaking through a cracked window.

This song celebrates the strange, beautiful corners of truth that shape who we are. Freedom turned into melody – and the world could use more of that.
