Cat Child - The Deities Fell Short (The Birth Of Cat Child)

North Carolina

This song was written and recorded on Thanksgiving Day 11/24/16 in Portland, OR. It was written in response to the government and media silence surrounding the movement at Standing Rock. 

The song was created collaboratively and features original poetry by Brad Hamers and Jessica Daugherty as well as lyrics by Brandon Fisette. The final line is in reference to a statement made by Antonin Artaud and quoted by The Living Theatre. 

*All proceeds made for downloads of this song will go to support Sacred Stone Camp to aid in the retrieval of supplies and in their legal defense fund.*
lyrics
Silence from the marble creatures 
do they even feel? 
As the children all fight 
For their mother to heal 
I just want to say, 
Cause there's no other way, 
they're trying to take all the water away 

Silence 
From across the land 
Silence 
From the ones with names, just 
Silence 
Self-destructive 
Silence 
Though our bodies are made of it 

They're gonna take it all 
They're gonna make us beg for it 

I'm so thirsty 

I could drink from the ground but it ain't legal 
I could drink from the sky but it ain't legal 

They're gonna take it all 
They're gonna make us beg for it 

I could drink from the source 
But the source is owned, of course 

Silence from the marble creatures 
do they even feel? 
As the children all fight 
For their mother to heal 
I just want to say, 
Cause there's no other way, 
they're trying to take all the water away 

"If we could feel the pain, then the pain would be so great that we would end it."

FULL SIX TRACK ALBUM AVAILABLE AT: 
WWW.CHILDOFNONATION.BANDCAMP.COM

Child of No Nation’s second release, La Pánica is an album of radical lullabies that explore the psyche. A surreal commentary on a virtual occupation, the album points to the information stronghold our senses currently exist in and the need to break out of that and reclaim our audio and visual independence. On this record, CNN uses the presence of panic as a source of power. 
 
The nature behind this experimental performance collective is based in conscious revolt. With the return of live performance and the popularity of online experiences, CNN works to include the world around us in the art we make and to collaborate and celebrate the fluxus nature of our society. 

CNN creates sonic poetry steeped in mystery and madness that serves as a starting point for infinite experiences. Once a track is released, CNN commits to never playing the song the same way again. Instead the collective works to reconstruct the piece to reflect the constant state of change we live in. This agit-pop project will have many faces and many lives, as we continue to re-contextualize and revolt each track every time we perform them live. Nothing is meant to stay the same.
This is not music.
