about

while i was touring EU, i felt an urge to speak more than i normally would at my shows. when i was improvising my message every night, bringing up apartheid and genocide into the discourse, i kept coming back to the messaging that our heart is a muscle to be used over and over. its so easy to numb ourselves / disassociate / normalize, and i wanted to challenge us to refuse falling into these patterns. i think the words "melt (our hearts) together, mold (the present, the future) together" came from this train of thought.. while asking people to feel their feelings isnt the most drastic/visibly impactful call to action, i thought that it could be a starting place for some who needed to hear it. to remind ourselves that we are all humans together, with a body, heart, and soul-- therefor, we deeply care for each other. & therefor, we will not just sit and watch. "together. together."

lyrics

바뀔 수 없다고 했던 너만의 머릿속의 생각을
(the thoughts inside your head, telling you you can't change)
끄집어 내서 저멀리 바다로 던져버렸어
(i pinched it out and threw it far into the ocean)

wipe it
fold it
throw it
버려 버려
(throw it throw it)
저멀리에 던져 버려
(throw it far far away)

i feel a mess that melts into a puddle
of feelings communicating higher
and higher we suffocate together
in the winter of hearts
can we melt together
can we mold together

can we melt together
can we mold together

together
together

they picked the cotton that saved the world. that picked cotton propelled u.s. economy; a unique capitalist setup. (though anglo saxon colonizers are not unique.) so many pop stars and hip hop billboard mainstays trumpet u.s. capitalism ad nauseam; or escapism & distraction. "Don't Die," also powerful. "i don't believe they lies. don't believe their truth, need they heads for proof" -- that's direct and powerful. the violinist Saydah Ruz stands out here, i think. Jeremy Leaming
