about
AMERICA, THE WAIT IS OVER... IT'S TIME TO VOTE: www.vote.org
This is a remix of Gaelynn Lea's original song "I Wait", created by Loki Starfish. Gaelynn Lea and Loki Starfish met when she performed in Paris, France at the 2019 SMMMILE Vegan Pop Festival.
LOKI STARFISH is an electro combo with pop tendencies right out of Paris' alternative scene, in keeping with groups like The Knife, Fad Gadget or Foals. Sophisticated and energetic melodies with Cold Wave tonalities, the group distinguishes itself by its musical persuasions and the multiplicity of its range.
GAELYNN LEA won NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest in 2016, and not long after she hit the road with her husband Paul. She has toured in 45 states and 9 countries, captivating audiences around the world with her unique mix of haunting original songs and traditional fiddle tunes.
Can you see me
Way in the back here?
I've been waiting
I've been waiting in line.
It's been a long time
Can't get no service
Still I'm hoping
I am hoping for a sign
That one day things will change
And we can finally take our place
That history won't forget us
Or try to minimize our pain
And so I wait
And so I wait
Did you know that
When I get angry
I breathe fire
I could burn this place down?
You may not realize
All of the small ways
I am not welcome
But just take a look around
Still everybody knows
That you need a place to go
And livin' isn't easy
If you incinerate your home
And so I stay
And so I stay
I may seem angry
So please forgive me
But I am still not free
In this society
How long must we keep fighting
For our right to be living?
Wrongs overdue for righting
We're a bit too forgiving
So when you hear them
Make claims of progress
Take a good look
And see who isn't there
We need a seat now
At the table
So please invite us
Or don't pretend to care.

I rarely like music with female vocals but this is excellent. None of the melisma that destroys most singing nowadays, no vibrato, just voice as instrument and very beautiful Chris Fox
