re: recent African-American deaths by police and racists.
A slow, martial drumbeat and sparse bass set the mourning pace for this wailing lament for many recent victims killed by police and bigots in pointless confrontations.
Liner notes:
"It is never a credit to the human race when so
many have to bury their family members (especially
their children) taken by violence. We pray that their living and passing will result in the “outpouring spirit of love.” This song is also dedicated to the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School, Columbine, Virginia Tech and all the many others that we do not hear about."
Louise Robinson: lead vocals
Romeir Antonio Mendez: acoustic bass
