It is difficult to explain why George’s Floyd’s murder ripped open something so deeply rooted in my heart (as it seemed to for many). Perhaps it was a tipping point for a new awareness on a global scale? As for myself, I’m earnestly reading, watching and listening to learn about aspects of racism that I’ve never dared looked at before. I yearn to be part of a just and compassionate change in consciousness, and I’m learning how to be bravely anti-racist, because staying quiet isn’t ok anymore. I had one of those very difficult conversations with a family member on Juneteenth — it required incredible patience to lovingly shine a confident light on racial ideals that only bring about inequality. I will no longer remain silent in the face of racism. The first time I heard Full Moon Bathtub it stirred me. This melody and lyric was evoked by acrylicbathhouse’s artfully inspiring stems. Most of the music in this track is his. I did some cutting, pasting, extending, reversing, stuttering, flanging and other treatment — which was quite enjoyable given the high quality of the source material. I added some acoustic and digital piano for both bass and melodic emphasis, as well as some strings for continuity and weight. There is a small dash of a bass warp that I cut up from 7OOP3D in the 2nd verse. We’re up in the mountains so this is a headphones mix (there are no good speakers anywhere to be found!) — so if the kick drum, bass warp and piano bass are too loud and muddy, please let me know. I have no ears! May our music break the silence in ways that make the truth easier to understand, so that we can all be part of this much needed change. Namaste. Break the Silence by Madam Snowflake Shame Heavy with Shame Taking the blame Looking it in the face A race for a race Displaced, enslaved, segregated By sick, illogical hate Now we atone for this disgrace Shame I feel shame Now I see your pain Now I see your pain Shame I feel shame A nation stained by its fathers We are its sons and its daughters This sin weighs upon our shoulders Because it never really changed Because it never really changed Shame I feel shame I am ashamed I am ashamed I am ashamed I am ashamed Break the silence Break the silence Break the silence Reparations must be paid Break the silence White silence is violence So break the silence (speak up, speak up) And change (enough is enough, enough is enough) I reach to you my brothers Your children and your lovers Respect for one another Will bind our hearts together I stand with you And I will not look away
