This is the very first cellopunk song. I wrote it in October 2019, frustrated with the state of the world, and search for a long time for the right venue to share it. Once I started the cellopunk project in the spring of 2020, it helped provide a framework for the type of sound I wanted, and the topics I wanted to cover.
lyrics
How can anything help when the world is ending?
What can one say to ease any pain?
How can you plan ahead when you're living on the edge
and no worthwhile future seems forthcoming?
I know they say existence is resistance
but alone there is no hope.
Come with me, join the fight, be the hope we need tonight
do and act, reject hate, make a nazi feel disgrace
empathy is what we need, help us move away from greed
Come with me, join the fight, be the hope we need tonight
cis or trans, straight or queer, gender isn't always clear
be so gay, it's not a crime, why should we stay in the lines
when the laws are unjust, collective action is a must
Come with me, join the fight, be the hope we need tonight
organize at your job, the big boss don't need it all
quit your toil, live with friends, plant a garden, barter and mend
heal the earth, lend a hand, who are we to own the land?
Come with me, join the fight, be the hope we need tonight
will you pledge to our cause? Earth is dying break down walls
drying fields, forest fires, leave a drought and walk for miles
out of time, climate change, capitalism is to blame
Come with me, join the fight, be the hope we need tonight
join the fight, add your name, be the hope we need today
use your voice, cry me too, patriarchy hurts all, true
do and act reject hate, punch a nazi in his face
Come with me, join the fight, be the hope we need tonight
Dr. Kit got his PhD in Music Theory in 2016. During the 2020 pandemic, he determined he'd like to use his musical expertise
to be a Social Justice Bard, providing inspiration, healing, and bonuses to other Social Justice classes. The original idea for cello-punk was born.
