about

This is a chant-like war protest song written in protest to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March 2022. It is equally about all acts of political dominance at the sacrifice of people's safety and peace.

It challenges the invaders with questions about their right to invade. It's short, it's direct, it's powerful.

It is an acoustic guitar, a drum heart-beat, and a voice that expands into a multi-layered choir-like effect building to a crescendo at the end - giving the feeling that many people stand strong as one.

All proceeds from the sale of this track will go to the charity DEC's (Disasters Emergency Committee's) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. For information about this Appeal click here: www.dec.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal

lyrics

Who are you to cross the line
And tell me how to live my life?
Who are you to point a gun
And tell my that my life is done?

Who are you to seize control
And fill my streets with your patrol?
Who are you to say you're right
So you can justify your fight?

Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?

Who are you with eyes like mine,
Are we not the same inside?
Who are you with an open hand,
Do you, too, have a wedding band?

Who are you at home in bed, (Who are you?)
Are there tears that you have shed? (Who are you?)
Who are you when you're alone, (Who are you?)
With nothing left will you atone? (Who are you?)

Who are you to cross the line? (Who are you?/Go away!)
Who are you to point a gun? (Who are you?/Make my day!)
Who are you to seize control? (Who are you?/Don't delay!)
Who are you to say you're right? (Who are you?/You can't stay!)

Who are you? Go away!
Who are you? Make my day!
Who are you? Don't delay!
Who are you? You can't stay!

Who are you? Go away!
Who are you? Make my day!
Who are you? Don't delay!
Who are you? You can't stay!

Who are you? Go away!
Who are you? Make my day!
Who are you? Don't delay!
Who are you? You can't stay!

Who are you? Go away!
Who are you? Make my day!
Who are you? Don't delay!
Who are you? You can't stay!

Tazina Frank Bruniquel, France

I've sung jazz for over 30 years but I've written my own songs since I was a young teenager. I never felt confident enough to pursue an originals music career until turning 50 when I thought "if I don't start to do something serious with them now, I never will". So now my own music is in the driving seat. It is earthy-acoustic in style. My songs are stories of relationships and global injustice. ... more
