ambient textures of flute and mandolin accompany laid back vocals
Incisive lyrics and compelling rhythms drive you to your feet
a toe-tapping, country-style love song about the finer things in life
a song written at the beginning of the most recent invasion of Gaza when peace seemed more remote than ever.
intimate vocals, guitars and cello lament lifes painful ironies
haunting violin and earthy percussion blend with dynamic vocals
This song was written to support the US War Resisters currently seeking refuge in Canada. It is a fundraiser to support the War Resisters campaign(www.resisters.ca) and can be purchased at www.saramarlowe.com
About the backwards media portrayal of resistance struggles around the world - Palestinian Intifada and the Iraqi resistance to the ongoing occupation (ordinary people being portrayed as terrorists, when they are only resisting illegal occupation).
About the illegal War on Iraq, the continuing Occupation of Iraq and 'War Criminal' George Bush's arrogant declaration of victory last May.
Kind of self explanatory, this song was inspired by the massive anti-war protests and world-wide opposition to the war on Iraq, with the major theme of "Not in our Name". It exposes the real "Axis of evil - Tony Blair and George Bush.
Taken from the popular chant, this song was inspired by the struggles in Argentina, Africa, Bolivia against corporate globalization, the FTAA and capitalism in general.
About the tragedy of children around the world who are forced into war.
About the irony of the claims of the US to be fighting to protect themselves and the world from weapons of mass destruction, when they are the only country to have dropped the "Bomb."
