Unpacking the GBV with Caroline Peters, Executive Director of Callas Foundation & a GBV Activist

"Free All of Mine" is a powerful anthem that delves deep into the struggles and emotions of individuals caught in a system that often feels rigged against them. From the very start, the song sets the stage like a high-stakes poker game, where the cards dealt are not just about luck, but about life circumstances that many are not equipped to navigate.

The opening dialogue paints a picture of someone grappling with the idea of playing a game they were never taught, a metaphor for facing life's challenges without the necessary tools or guidance. It's a poignant reflection on the feeling of being lost in a world that seems to be moving backward, where trust is scarce and the journey feels like drifting through space without a sense of belonging.

As the verses unfold, the raw emotions of the narrator spill out, expressing a profound sense of loss, confusion, and determination to rise above adversity. They speak of feeling like an outsider on a foreign planet, navigating a landscape where danger lurks at every turn. The urgency in their voice is palpable as they recount running red lights in search of clarity and purpose, all while carrying the weight of their incarcerated loved ones on their shoulders.

The pre-chorus serves as a rallying cry, a chorus of voices demanding justice and freedom for those unjustly locked away. The repetition of names underscores the personal connection to each individual behind bars, a reminder that they are not just statistics but cherished members of a community longing to be reunited.

In the chorus, the refrain "free all of mine" echoes with both sorrow and defiance, a plea to break the chains of oppression and reunite families torn apart by incarceration. It's a cry from the heart, a testament to the enduring bonds of love and loyalty that transcend prison walls.

The second verse digs even deeper into the harsh realities of life in marginalized communities, where survival often means navigating a minefield of violence, poverty, and despair. The imagery of walking through rain-soaked streets, haunted by the specter of loss, paints a vivid portrait of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

As the song reaches its crescendo, the chorus swells with emotion, each repetition carrying the weight of countless untold stories and shattered dreams. It's a bittersweet anthem of solidarity and hope, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit remains unbreakable.

"Free All of Mine" is more than just a song; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a call to action for a more just and equitable world. It's a reminder that behind every name on a prison roster lies a story of love, loss, and redemption, waiting to be told

Thru the Years Vol. 2

Stand Our Ground

LYRICS : 

I’m just one voice, but I speak with pride,
For Trump, for the USA, standing side by side.
In ’20 we lost, but here we stand,
With hope in our hearts and strength in our hands.

We walked through the dark, kept our faith alive,
For the land of the free, we’ll always strive.
They said it was over, they thought he’d fade,
But here we are, unafraid.

For every mile, for every tear,
We held the dream, we kept it near.
And now he’s back, a second chance,
With Trump leading the dance.

Yeah, he’s standing, head held high,
For the USA, he reached the sky.
Lost in 2020, but he’s come back strong,
With a clearer voice, he rights the wrong.
Together now, with lessons learned,
2024, a flame returned.

They tried to shake us, but we stayed true,
For Trump and the red, white, and blue.
Through words of doubt, through eyes of scorn,
We rose again, battle-worn.

The storms they passed, the fight remains,
In every heart, in every name.
I saw him rise, I saw him fall,
And I’m proud to stand through it all.

Now he’s standing, head held high,
For the land we love, the open sky.
The ghost of 2020 laid to rest,
We face the future with our best.
Here together, strong and free,
For Trump, for you, for me.

In the heart of every street,
Where our people’s voices meet,
We hold the dream, we know the call,
In the USA, there’s room for all,

Yes, he’s standing, head held high,
Trump and the USA reaching for the sky.
We lost that race, but found our way,
Together stronger, come what may.
With heads held high, with hearts on fire,
Building the dream, lifting it higher.

Now here we are, with victory near,
Trump and the USA, standing clear.
2024, a new dawn bright,
For a land reborn, for freedom’s light.

So lift your voices, let them soar,
For Trump, the USA, forevermore.
With heads held high and spirits free,
Together strong, our destiny.

Expressing Myself through, Lyrics and Music is my way of cooping in this world <3

Salaamedia, founded in January 2016, aims to go beyond the limits of traditional journalism by telling human stories while seeking to inspire people towards active citizenship and participation in helping resolve these challenges.

I started playing at a young age, and quickly found a love for playing guitar and singing. Many different styles have influenced me over the years. From Country, Metal, Rock, to Punk, I’ve played it all and still listen to a lot of it to date.

I have always been fond of the old Country music icons like Randy Travis, Conway Twitty, Don Williams, and Johnny Cash. With a resonating tone in my voice that is reminiscent of those giants in music, I carry on that deep Baritone bellowing country vocal sound within the music I play and write.

Whether I’m belting out “Diggin’ up Bones”, I Believe in You”, “Slow Hand”, or “Folsom Prison Blues”, you’ll feel it in the floor boards and in your chest, and you’ll want to sing right along with it.

Singing the songs I love from that era of country and classic rock music is where I have found my niche.

My original songs have a style that mixes a number of those various influences, capturing the essence of those Country roots. My songs are very personal and there is a lot of emotion that I pour into them. Living through those moments of desperation, loneliness, and heartache, the moments of joy, success, and hope too… We all have our share of both sides of the coin.

Honestly I just wanna cause hell, I mean peace,  to soundcloud "shrugs" let me know if you trying to do the same
