Hey it's #alternateFridayMusic 🎉 and the cue this week is: #protest Staying close to home for the first one. Grab a drink and sit somewhere quiet to take in this beautiful re-imagining of the quiet yet powerful Kev Carmody & Paul Kelly song: Ziggy Ramo - Little Things A modern take on the classic protest song From Little Things Big Things Grow: 🎶 The wars continued since Captain James Cook And this side of history, you don't write in your books You don't want the truth and you don't want to listen But how can you stomach Australia's contradiction 'Cause we went to war in 1945 We were allies against a terrible genocide And I know it's uncomfortable but the irony I see Is that you fought for them, but you don't fight for me From little things, big things grow We should move on Move on to what? I still remember, have you forgot? That Vincent Lingiari knew others were rising Gurindji inspired us to keep on fighting So call it Australia, go on call it what you like I just call it how I see it and I see genocide Now that you hear me, can you understand? There will never be justice on our stolen land From little things, big things grow This is the story of so called Australia But this is the story of so much more How power and privilege can not move my people We know where we stand, we stand in our law From little things, big things grow Since 1991, four hundred and forty-one Indigenous Australians have died in custody The casualties of a war that never ended But we are not yet defeated Always was, always will be Sovereignty was never seeded 🎶 The original track is here @dgar@aus.social  @electric_gumball@mastodon.social @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @fc@universeodon.com #ausMusic 1/4
