This song, co-written with my friend Jonathan Hicks, was inspired by and written for the people of Ukraine. It first emerged in 2024 during my time performing with the folk group Catgut and Air. It is also a song that strikes close to home genealogically. Were she alive to witness it, my Russian babushka would have been utterly appalled by the aggression shown by the leadership of her motherland. Today marks the anniversary of her death. Releasing this song today is one of the ways I acknowledge her enduring influence on my life.

You can check out some of my other songs here. I am also currently working on a new album, which I hope to release later this year.
