Waking up on November 9th 2016 sucked for a lot of people.

When we woke up and checked the news there weexperienced a strange mix of feelings – mostly stuff you’d expect like concern, anger, exasperation, etc.

There was also a small part of us going “Wow! This is interesting. Let’s see where this goes.” 

It did not go well.

But the overarching emotion wasn’t anything “very bad” or “very good” or “very exciting” or anything like that.

It was just a grim sense of inevitability.

That this is the way things are going. 

A sort of depressing acceptance about the state of the world, the cruelty of humankind, the innate lack of kindness in the human condition and the pervasive nature of selfishness.

Confronted with this conflicting maelstrom of feelings we did what any normal person would do.

We wrote a sad song about a sex slave locked in a room forced to perform for thugs, businessmen and politicians.

It’s called “Strawberries.”
