i'm angry that i'm angry

By jwh on January 28, 2024 11:54 pm

i'm angry
i'm angry
i’m angry that you told me for years that god is love
but when i say it now
_god is love_
you act like i’ve lost my damn mind
i’m angry that capitalism and greed and organized religion are killing us
all of us
i’m angry that speaking out against genocide somehow fuels antisemitism in others
i’m angry at my ignorance and privilege and complicity
i’m angry that there is always enough money for war
and never enough for health care and equality
i’m angry that black and brown skin is still often a death sentence
i’m angry that indigenous people are almost always left out of the conversation
i’m angry that my queer friends must have contingency plans
i’m angry that my trans friends are targeted when they should be celebrated
and women aren’t even trusted with their own bodies
i'm angry that angry white men are holding us all hostage
that i am also somewhat of an angry white man
i’m angry that i am so scared to do the wrong thing that i often don’t do the right thing
i’m angry that addiction and sadness are the ties that bind
that words only go so far
that it’s so hard to love ourselves

i’m angry that i’m angry

god IS love
love is the only god
i am
interested in
loving

I can feel this one for sure. There's so much to be angry about that we shouldn't have to be angry about. The music really matches with its intensity and the well placed screams are right on.

January 29, 2024 1:37 am

Thanks for your passion

January 29, 2024 3:41 am

Yeah... Lot's of shit around to be angry against.

The finale is great. Almost peaceful. (Which is not easy to be, I know)

January 29, 2024 3:27 pm

fantastic lyrics and great work putting them to song! Love this one!

January 29, 2024 4:40 pm

Love the uneasy building feel that keeps you on edge anticipating the release of anger. The lyrics hit hard and the way you quietly introduce them before the cathartic scream is a nice contrast. The pace of this gave me some visions of a bonnie n clyde couple escaping the evil baddies. The outro with your vocals brings me back down and gives me hope. Well done fraind! \m/ also emily's gif lololol

Love it. It sounds great and it's really interesting.

January 29, 2024 8:50 pm

right on, message approved, required backup to a suitable level of crunch!

January 30, 2024 12:37 am

Fuckin' YES!!!!! Awesome job here, especially with the lyrics. Heavy and harsh sounds, very fitting for the topics. I love the whole thing.

January 30, 2024 4:36 pm

I'm absolutely feeling this one. Yes--a ton to be angry about, and it's frustrating that this is where we are!

Great build, excellent sound from the Clydesdale, finely cathartic. Thank you!

January 30, 2024 5:27 pm

Yes! Great one. Feeling these lyrics and this song. I like that it wasn't just yelled lyrics, but more subtle kind of restrained, but still intense, and similar guitars too, the steady pulsing gives it a unique feel.

January 30, 2024 7:56 pm

Wow this is so good! Drive, texture, message, restrained intensity, unrestrained intensity. Amazing

February 2, 2024 3:57 am

Fucking absolutely.

TOO RELATEABLE

as a person who is in a few of those categories i really appreciate your support and i empathize

it was awesome when the music stopped and the vocals screamed and then the guitar screamed a long - really cool way of showing and not telling.

the insistent beat is 1/2 the oppressive force beating down and 1/2 the courage and undying spirit

LOVE the acoustic riff ending, that was kind of the "god was love and love was god the whole time" twist ending

thank you so much, y'all. i sometimes get these twinges of... fear? about sharing too much, or sharing in the wrong way (ha - hence the line "i’m angry that i am so scared to do the wrong thing that i often don’t do the right thing"), but yeah... it really helps to know this resonated with you in some way.
i appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment, and i know that if enough of us push towards love that we can move the needle.

i'm a biiiiit late to this reply but i am da king of oversharing "noooo!" Seriously tho sometimes I'll wake up the next day after uploading the final descripted track and wonder "oh noes did i sayyyy too much?" I think i've stated it on others pages but the best thing about WB is being able to share whatever process got this track/song inspired/finished. Whether it be an outdoor adventure or an internal mindscape they all play an important part. just my .02 back to my corner i go
