Lift your head up, lift your head up, lift your head up, lift your head up now! It is about truly taking in all of the beauty in the moments and the world around you, and also about looking directly at the things in our world that need action and reform. Here is a live performance from The Repressions’ latest show at c’mon everybody in Brooklyn.
To The After ~ New Live Video
To The After is a song of reversal, of fear, and hope through living in the present while the future is only questions.
Ophelia’s Song – The Repressions New Video
Ophelia’s Song is a song of healing, of hope, of saving ourselves while imagining saving literary characters. It only takes a simple slip to drown in despair, but there is light in you.
Thank You Charlotte Bronte
Female authors have always struggled to be taken objectively, for this reason and others far more oppressive in the past they have used pen names, often male. Still today many use pen names or initials in the hopes of being judged fairly. It is a funny thing, since reading is one of the best things that we can do to learn critical thinking, compassion, empathy and imagination. Why should marketing and sexism detract from precious books and thought?
Here is to the excellent authors mentioned, and those that could not fit in the song, and to books themselves, our dearest friends, the books!
Please enjoy this song and video, and let us know who your favorite authors are!
