WAIT FOR U

Future feat. Drake & Tems - WAIT FOR U

With our politics in turmoil and many people in despair, now, following the centenary of his birth, is a good time to revisit the works of Raymond Williams.

Born in Pandy near Abergavenny in 1921, Raymond Williams is known in many countries throughout the world as an important socialist academic, who broke ground with his writings in the of sphere of culture.

What can we learn from Williams for today's problems? What hope can he offer us?

I talk to community development worker and Raymond Williams advocate Russell Todd about a range of subjects - what Williams had to say about football, hope and the strength in our communities, what he might have to say about covid, pubs, autonomy and a post-work future, were he still with us today.

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Hey, I've been falling apart these days
Split open, watching my heart go
'Round and around, 'round and around
Circle the drain, I'm going down
('Round and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around)

[Verse 2]
I'm trying to seem strong for my love
For my family and friends
But I'm so tired of faking
'Cause I'm chained to my bed when they're gone
Watching TV alone
'Til my body starts aching
And I think there's a mold in my brain
Spreading down all the way
Through my heart and my body
'Cause I cling to the dark of my room
And the days thin me out
Or just burn me straight through

[Pre-Chorus]
Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine

[Chorus]
Hey, I've been falling apart these days
Split open, watching my heart go
'Round and around, 'round and around
Circle the drain, I'm going down
('Round and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around)

[Bridge]
Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine

[Chorus]
Hey, I've been falling apart these days
Split open, watching my heart go
'Round and around, 'round and around
Circle the drain, I'm going down
('Round and around and around and around
'Round and around and around and around)
'Round and around, 'round and around
Circle the drain, I'm going down

Cavetown - circle the drain cover (Soccer Mommy)

With more than twenty five years experience as a political activist on the Welsh left in various roles, including the leadership of Plaid Cymru and Member of the Senedd for the Rhondda, I am now seeking to contribute to political life with a podcast.

This new platform aims to give voice to those people and issues we don’t hear enough from or about in the mainstream media. Our politics needs a different conversation. I hope that this podcast will help with that.
