reprieve (new Ani song)

For the Ani fans out there, i just uploaded lyrics to Reprieve. In theory, one can watch her perform this song on FabChannel but i can't get the damn thing to work.

and the patriarchy that looks to shame me for it is the same one making war
and i've said too much already but i'll tell you something more
to split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do
so girl if that shit ain't up to you, then you simply are not free
cause from the sunlight on my hair to which eggs i grow to term
to the expression that i wear, all i really own is me

i mean to split yourself in two is just the most radical thing you can do
goddess forbid that little adam should grow so jealous of eve
and in the face of the great farce of the nuclear age
feminism ain't about equality, it's about reprieve

It made me smile to see that she played De Melkweg on 9/11. I will never forget seeing her there years ago with about 100 other people when she started singing "In a coffee shop in a city which is every coffee shop in every city EXCEPT THIS ONE... what's up with this town??" This devolved into a very funny conversation about coffee shops.

danah,

i have been watching this performance off and on all morning. i didn't quite get the impact of what you'd posted til i heard her do the whole thing. listening to her, watching her, i started crying. i could launch into a salvo here but i won't. i am too tired for that these days. i just... i cried. we are very lucky to have that woman.
