Tame Impala - Flow

Our progressive movements have been and are the vehicles that bring about the political change we need for improvement in the lives of working and marginalised people.

The strife and discord that has surfaced within progressive movements in Wales  risks ruining the hope that we can change the situation for the better. It has to change.

The experienced internationalist and socialist campaigner Selma James can teach us a lot. Selma says of movement-building: “the differences between you become a power among you”. And she warns us about the importance of all in the movement being anti-imperialist.

I first met Selma a few years ago when she came to the Rhondda present a film she and other women had made during the 1970s, documenting the lives and work of women in the Rhondda. We have met many times since.

It’s an absolute pleasure to have someone who has given so much inspiration to so many people in so many different places in the world over such a long period of time on episode five of the Leanne Wood podcast

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.
