She stood...
Waving a black flag, fist in the air
Cigarette smoke, mini skirt legs bare
Eyebrow raised, hand on hip
Curse on her lips for the establishment
Marched for peace. Spoke for the silence
Calm like a bomb. Met violence with violence
Only constant: the fires in her eyes for change
Try telling this woman to behave
Fought for freedoms that are given nowadays
How do I love thee let me count the ways
Sis been feminist since before sis was cis
Activist, suffragists, do you git the gist?
But the sands of time only fall one way
Shrunk a little bit by the weight of her days
Less and less whole
Silenced-for-committing the worst crime of all:
She let herself get old
She’s called Greta, she’s called Maya
She’s got cold steel she’s got fire
She’s called Sylvia, she’s called Toni
And when she writes she writes her own story
She’s called Saffiah, she’s called Tess
She’s got a raised fist and a shaved head
She’s called Mrs, she’s call Miss
And when she takes aim she won’t miss
Wayward child
The girl got loud
But you should see how she turned out
Way more wild
And still so down
But no one even see’s her now
She roller-skates up to a soldier in Derry
Kisses riot shields with a lipstick message
In a Specials t-shirt, nose stud, inner grace
Smiling as the EDL shout in her face
Mouth taped shut, all in black
Lying on the ground in a plastic bag
Headscarf, unarmed, standing asking for peace
Against a row of men in body armour armed to the teeth
A wild girl child is a thing of beauty
But there’s less space or time for a wild woman
From a force of nature to feral and untamed
Leave behind sharp edges for the younger aged
See wildness moves to wilderness
Jagged lines need smoothed as you fill them in
Superheroes get gendered ever since the umbilical
And as she got older she became invisible

Clocking in over an hour, a real "Who's Who" of voices over the Astronaut's audio productions in many styles. Supported this for the Ast-Ast and some of my favorite rappers: Texture, Solareye, Laughing Gear (Eaters!), Harlequinade (Soleni), Replicator, and Tickle. Love what is going on in Scotland's hip hop tribe. Oddio Overplay

Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current. Badzie
