Girlyman
Girlyman was an American folk-rock band formerly based in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, later based in Atlanta, Georgia. Its self-released debut album, Remember Who I Am, sold 5,000 copies before it was re-released by Daemon Records, the independent record label run by Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls. Girlyman described its musical style as "harmony-driven gender pop" and "leading-edge three-part harmony folk-pop," and enjoyed a strong following in the gay community.
In late 2012, Girlyman took a hiatus from touring. Greenstein and Borofsky both began work on solo albums, while Muramatsu, Jones, and Borofsky announced they had formed a new group called Django Jones. Greenstein's album One True Thing and Borofsky's Every Wish were released in 2013.
On September 11, 2013, Muramatsu announced that Girlyman had officially disbanded.
In 2014, Django Jones released the children's album D is for Django, and Greenstein announced a new musical act, Mouths of Babes, with her partner Ingrid Elizabeth.

Little Star
I don't know what is happening to me
I think my mind's finally come undone
The city's quiet and the hour is late
And I'm afraid to face my life alone
Chorus: And I don't know why
It's so hard to consider this
I've reached up so many times
To find my hands full of emptiness
There's been nothing to help me to sleep
I've got too much going on inside
I never thought someone could pull me in this deep
But now I find I'm losing this time
So many times I've been put aside
I was always second best
(through several tales of the past I've sailed)
But nothing's sweeter than to be picked from the vine
Like the treasure of a harvest
(but nothing hides when you cast them aside)
I have never been seen except in glimpses of my dreams
But you're waiting here in the wings and I'm speechless
Chorus
