about

I remixed this track as part of the ISOLATE/CREATE project, a free resource providing artists with digital assets to spark creativity and inspire digital collaboration. This is a heavy song, and I wanted it to be even more true to the gravity of what she was saying. To me, the outro IS the climate crisis. I envisioned being immersed in the impending destruction and the sections before that are us marching right into it, with full knowledge of our impact.

Enjoy!

FROM CHELSEA WOLFE: “Erde” is the root word for Earth, meaning “all-dirt.”

In this song I’m singing lines to Mother Earth about all the strange & painful dances we perform on her soil: a parent with a child on death row, corporate pollution that leads to disease in humans & rivers catching fire, & so much time spent staring at screens.. In the background I’m listing off poisonous & medicinal plants - summoning them. Musically, it’s meant to feel ritualistic & primal, very connected to the rhythms of the earth.

We are all forced to step back right now & see all these things with the perspective of finally slowing down. The world is always pushing us to move so fast - & it’s exhausting.. on us & on Mother Earth.

lyrics

a hundred million hours spent on the wire
Erde
like the crooked river would catch fire
all-dirt
waves of devastation
Erde
got a baby on death row
all-dirt

I dreamt of buildings long left-behind

young children running blind
Erde
broken frame of mind
intertwined
from the vales of Eden
to the swelling tide
we cried together
Erde
woman is the origin
all-dirt

Erde, rip my heart out
Erde, rip my heart out
Erde, rip my heart out

(Waves of devastation)
