Time Is Not The Issue

Cut! (feat. issue)

This was the first full song I ever wrote and shared on social media in August 2016, then re-shared in October 2023. Sang and played the piano and recorded with my camera at home for YouTube, then stripped the audio from that, nothing fancy.

May we never ignore the cries of suffering around us. May we listen to calls for justice and freedom.

"Hear Them Crying" - Words and Music by Kristen Young

Verse 1
I got a melody but words don't always come to me
Wish I could fix all of this with a song 
I dream, I hope, I think, I feel, I'm never sure of what is real
But don't tell me what I'm feeling is wrong
I don't wanna be the one to say the words
But I just can't ignore the hurt 
Why can't we all just get along 
Don't know what to do or how to feel
Can't make no promises, no deals 
But the way we're living life just can't go on 

CHORUS
Can you hear them crying, ohhhh
Or are they too far away 
Is anybody listening, are you even hearing
Anything the people say 
It's so easy to turn my head in the other direction 
Don't wanna deal with the problems they mention
But I can hear them crying, ohhh
And they can't wait another day 

Verse 2
So many problems and I don't know how to solve 'em
There's so much that I don't even understand 
The only things that I can see are what they put in front of me 
Sometimes I wonder where I'm s'pposed to stand 
I don't wanna be the one to speak too loud
I promise I'm not trying to shout 
Where are the people with a plan
Will we ever get this right I hope we might 
They won't go down without a fight 
Wish I could just reach out my hand 

CHORUS

Bridge
Everybody's got their reasons
For feeling the way they do 
I know I don't know what you're feeling
But I feel for you
It could be so simple but we make it hard 
Why don't we just make a move
Won't keep quiet, can't keep it inside no more 
'Cause we got so much to lose 

CHORUS

Hear Them Crying

A quick song I wrote in my first and second languages as a response to what's happening in the USA, in solidarity with immigrant communities under attack. This is for the collective, inspired by immigrants who make our communities greater and those protecting and supporting humans who have migrated for a better life.

Recorded on my iPhone camera with background vocals added later on Garage Band using my headphone mic. (I have the most basic equipment but lots of heart :) 

LYRICS:
F*ck their laws and their formalities
Ripping apart families
Forget about legality
Where is our humanity 
You think you’re safe if you assimilate but that ain’t the way, noooo

It’s not a crime to fight for a better life
The fire in our hearts will melt away the ice 
And all the walls, will one day fall
Stop thinking small 
This is your call

El pueblo unido
Jamás será vencido
Si todos decidimos
Amar a los vecinos
Sin barreras, sin fronteras, sin límites 
Sí se puede, vamos a luchar contra el hate

Juntos podemos
Construir un mundo en que todos tenemos 
Seguridad y dignidad 
Justicia queremos
Todos la merecen

*Note on explicit language: I couldn’t think of a more fitting word to describe the vulgar, violent, profane actions being carried out against our fellow siblings. This literary choice is an invitation (for me as well) to reflect on whether we prioritize politeness and palatability over calling out harm. Do we require feelings to be sanitized before we will truly listen, or speak out?
