Two years ago, I grabbed the 3 train Mon-Thurs, 6:10am to teach music in Brownsville. I had this song on repeat.
Half-laughing, half-crying, I fantasized about distilling the lyrics from the context of the movie, the synth arrangement (...which I do love...). Just hard-hitting soul.
What better message to address the current scene in the White House? The upcoming elections? The amplified divisiveness that could allow a man with no moral compass a free pass in the executive branch?
"Out of the ruin, out from the wreckage, can't make the same mistake this time..."
Fast-forward to last February. News of Covid spread and I called up J.B. and Chris to track the rhythm before things went south. Next thing we knew, the city was in lockdown. Studios were shutting down. I thought of Kendra and Jeremy. With her setup, Kendra knocked out those vocals so good it gives me chills. Jeremy shaped that mix! Gave life to some raw tracks off the 1/4 inch tape.
"Love and compassion, their day is coming, all else are castles built in the air..."
I don't think of this as a political track. It doesn't take sides. I think it takes a step back and looks at the roots of power; warning of the cult of personality, while cultivating our role as the source of the body politic.
Hope you enjoy the track! Thanks to everyone involved in our humble rendition!
