about

This is a song about the latent power and momentum inside of human beings in the historic struggle for liberation. It was written in an apartment in Eagle Rock, CA in 2019, where I slept on the ground for a few months and worked part time at a taco shop. It was written shortly after I saw Mike Pence initiate a coup with "hola." It's about the revolutionary act of being alive -- and how passion, political fervor, and togetherness can coalesce towards a better world.

lyrics

To everybody, I hope this finds you well. There’s been a swelling. I know you’ve felt it too. From gaslighted telecasts to sleeping on the floor--we are no beasts of burden. We need these chains no more. We never did. We need these chains no more.

In everybody a pulse is beating against the tide of every ocean. I feel it in me. You feel it in you? And it's been swelling... can't you feel it?

In everybody, there is a rushing tide. You feel it in your veins, and I feel it in mine. Engine turning, oil spilling, and your tired shoulders weary. Flora blooming, thorns are growing cause we need these chains no more. Taking streets and breathing lungs. Pumping swelling hearts of blood. Stepping out into the light cause we need these chains no more. We never did. We need these chains no more.
