Recalling the energy of so many incredible female artists on this one, Niki! It's absolutely delicious to listen, too, and you're spoiling us with the longer run. These harmonies are so, so good. Loving this bluesy, folksy vibe this week. <3

Yes! I agree with Erin and Danielle- Really digging the harmonies on this. The mutes on the strumming is also really nice,

Powerful, beautiful. Heavy as cast iron, urgent as love.

Glorious - the rhythm and the harmonies push this one into the stratosphere. Love that flowing melody on the "change" in the chorus.

You are a master of dynamics Niki! You always have this ability to hold back, but here you also lay it on with the multitude of voices which makes the message in the lyrics so much more powerful. Just ingenious!

On every corner
On every street
It’s where they eat and pray and wait
And where they sleep

In rags in bunches 
Cardboard boxes
They lie in wait beneath the pain 
Of a life discarded

And we’re just people
We walk on by
Our children asking questions
With tears filling their eyes
 What going on here ma 
cant we try to make it change

change
please please
change

In every playground
In every school
The innocent unsuspecting one 
is called a fool

The weight of terror
The sting of lies
Each word that hits a broken shell
Who’s lost the will for life

And we’re just people
We walk on by
Our children asking questions
With tears in their eyes
 What going on here dad can we try to make it change

And in the darkness
Beneath the glow
Of neon skies and bad mens lies
Of pain she’d never knowm

Her dream a vapor
A faded hope
There’s nowhere here to run
There’s no safe place to go

And were the people
Won’t even try
To answer all the questions
That fall from our children’s eyes

What’s going on here
Can’t we make a change
Please can’t we can’t we try
