MUSIC:

SEX WORK PERSPECTIVES:

We asked the question of our listeners and contacts:

Is sex work essentially just work? If so how is it similar or the same as other work? If not what makes it fundamentally different? How should society respond to sex workers and people that pay for sex; punish them? Regulate them? Ignore them? Something else?


After sharing thoughts Penelope Mace shared this link with us:

Un deux trois et quatre, our dance forevermore,
In the echoes of the music, our spirits start to soar,
A waltz of sweet surrender, on this enchanted floor,
Un deux trois et quatre, love's song we can't ignore.

Astatum - Twilight Echoes (Short Edit)

In a dark, dark place, in a dark, dark wood.
You found your hiding place?
Because I think you should.
It's obscene.
You're out there looking pretty green.

You stand upon the hill, above the darkest town.
You like to waste your time.
You all just hang around.
Remaining seen.
It's no surprise, you're pretty green.

I can see your faults.
Can you see my needs?
Through the screen.
I can see your outline against the moon.
Pretty green.

Upon a lonely street, there is a golden house.
Even the quietest man can start the loudest shouts.
Fuck your machine.
Oh, my fucking God you are green.

In a dark, dark room, and down a dark, dark stair.
There is a hiding place, and we should hide in there.
Living the dream?
A pretty green flying machine.

You can't  hide your faults.
Can you meet my needs?
Hidden screams.
I can't make your outline against the sun.
It's all green.

You can't read my thoughts.
You wont get inside.
Just unseen.
Can you take me out from amongst the noise.
That's all green.
A pretty green flying machine.
