about
It’s been one year since the Dobbs decision and most or all abortions are now banned in 14 states. These laws are violent, cruel, and reflect the deep imbalance of power in the U.S. that affects us every day. It makes me rage when I think about how most people in this country supported Roe v. Wade a year ago and continue to support it today. We want access to abortions, but politics and an unconscionable lack of empathy stole that from us. Keep Our Clinics is working to preserve clinics in places where abortions are severely restricted and to expand access in states where abortions are legal. I’m proud to be a part of this compilation to support their work.
“Walking on Broken Glass” felt like a fitting contribution to this project. Taking away people’s rights to abortion access is a shattering, a destruction. And, also, I recently discovered that Annie Lennox is the founder of a global feminist organization called the Circle. An absolute badass.
ABOUT:
Broken Glass is a compilation that brings together communities of Nettwerk artists of all genre and gender, covering songs from the 90s, originally performed by women. This project is Nettwerk's response to the socio-political environment that we now live in. It is a continuation of the cultural legacy begun with Nettwerk's founding of Lilith Fair in the 90s and launches a new mission that we intend to carry forward, supporting reproductive rights.
This release supports reproductive rights, with a portion of all proceeds to be donated to the Keep Our Clinics campaign, the Abortion Care Network’s latest effort to protect access to care and support independent clinics across the country.
lyrics
Walking on, walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don't care for sugar honey if I can't have you
Since you've abandoned me
My whole life has crashed
Won't you pick the pieces up
'Cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
I'm walking on, walking on broken glass
The sun's still shining in the big blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me
O-o-oh let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me
I'm living in an empty room
With all the windows smashed
And I've got so little left to lose
That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on, walking on broken glass
And if you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
'Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
'Cause if you want to hurt me
You do it really well my dear
Do it really well my dear
Walking on, walking on broken glass
I'm walking on, walking on broken glass

You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason i decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it.
I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!!
(also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book) praisedrays
