Subrosa - Troubled Cells
Now every road I take, no matter how far
Leads me back here again, convicted by your smile
And every waking dream, and every wasted hour
Seems veined with a disease that I cannot escape

Although based in the epicenter of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Vernon is one of only a handful of local musicians who is of the Mormon faith. And while the push and pull between conservative Mormon teachings and the more liberal views of the artistic community can present a struggle, that was amplified one year ago when the church announced that gay members of the church who marry will face excommunication. In addition, the new policy also forbids children of gay parents to be baptized until they turn 18 — and then only if they formally disavow their parents' lifestyle.
As a firm supporter of LGBTQ rights, this hit Vernon hard, and as she dreaded, the suicide rate among LGBTQ Mormons escalated in the wake of the announcement. Partially inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin's short story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas," she wrote "Troubled Cells" in an effort to spread awareness about just how threatened and ostracized LGBTQ people in the Mormon community feel. "Troubled Cells" is a somber track that taps into the atmospherics of early Black Sabbath ballads, Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" and 1980s gothic rock for sonic inspiration; violinists Kim Pack and Sarah Pendleton provide gorgeous accompaniment. Vernon doesn't hold back in her condemnation, capping off the song with the line "Paradise is a lie if we have to burn you at the stake to get inside."

SubRosa - "Troubled Cells" music video
SubRosa released a music video this past week for their song “Troubled Cells”. The song was written in response to a change in the Mormon Church’s handbook which punishes LGBTQ members that choose to marry and the children they might have. The band comments: “The SubRosa song ‘Troubled Cells’ was written for all LGBTQ individuals around the world who face oppression and exclusion from religious…

SubRosa - Troubled Cells
There, beyond the windowsill Lies the child that we all dread An affront to our ease and our lassitude A thorn in our side How soon will she die? Now every road I take, no matter how far Leads me back here again, convicted by your smile And every waking dream, and every wasted hour Seems veined with a disease that I cannot escape. Soft music plays on the gramophone A fire in the grate, arm around your wife’s waist Warms your crocodile tears As you think of the child under the cellar stairs When will she disappear? If there’s no way through for you, there’s no way through for me I refuse the cool gardens, I reject my honored seat If there’s no way through for you, there’s no way through for me I don’t need the golden banners, I don’t need the vain embrace. Now, every road I take, no matter how far Leads me back here, convicted by your smile All is veined with a disease that I cannot escape For troubled cells do not a healthy body make. There is no greater good if you’re trodden underfoot – There is no greater good. Paradise is a lie if we have to burn you at the stake to get inside Paradise is a lie if you’re not by my side.
