Holy shit. This. This is the song for now.
Hayley Williams: True Believer
m.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Uy5vDX…
Hayley Williams (of Paramore et al) is no longer bound by her record label. She just released 17 songs, free to the internet.
This is her completely without restriction.
A couple choice lines:
"They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all the children.
They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face.
So they don’t have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them."
Then follows it immediately with:
"The South will not rise again
Til it’s paid for every sin
Strange fruit, hard bargain
Till the roots, Southern Gotham"
Strange Fruit. Think Billie Holiday's haunting song.
Till the roots... rip up the roots so that tree doesnt grow again (with possible entendres to Emmett Till, etc).
I've heard people describe this song as an incantation, as a binding spell. I can imagine hundreds of thousands or millions singing and chanting this magic.
The sound is haunting.
