I have been hearing the call to my ancestors recently and they've been speaking to me through the waterfalls and now I was shown this video. I am remembering
Run free now precious wisdom and flood the droughted hearts, minds and ears 🍃 Thank you Áine for being the vessel and making the choice to share this with the world. Your courage is crazy inspiring ✊🏽 🙏❤️ and thank you to all of the co-creators that put this together ❤️
Very moving and I'm not usually an emotional person. You speak the truth that many try to deny or hide. Keep going and refuse to be silenced. Fantastic! Thank you Rachel for bringing this exceptional lady, her strength and commitment to my attention. 💕
A great song! I am blown away! But for me the real question is how to heal these wounds, build these bridges and to build a society that listens to our mother, the land.
This honest and brave song has the potential to to be the start of a new history. Thank you for refusing to stay quiet. WCYN forge forth and make that difference. Congratulations Aine xx
I've now heard this rather a few times but as i watch here with headphones on as it's released out into the world, tears run down my cheeks. Feelings continue to arise that i didn't know were within. I believe THIS is remembering who i am. This is not a song, it's an experience and I bow down to you for the clarity and courage to bring it forth
Wow wow and wow, this is epic and so deep. Ainé thank you for showing the links here, I feel it in my bones, I believe that this connection will really help people to take a stand together. We are one and we are many - all that have been abused, traumatized and removed from our indigenous country. I stand with my indigenous brothers and sisters and say No More.
BOOM. Heart blown wide open. I'm.a Highland Scot of Irish descent, my 15 year old great aunty, Mary, was shipped to Australia, an orphan. God only knows what happened to her, she was never heard of again. I am truly grateful to you for opening my heart, my fire will burn for her and the countless other indigenous Peoples, Irish and Scots, who were lost, crushed, raped of all humanity. 🔥
Aine you are the first person to actually reply to a comment, for me. Gratitude. If I may I will share a poem I wrote last century Living Next Door to Malice. We were British subjects but not proud of it and we carried no shame. We’re Aussie subjects and we are proud of it, while we carry the burden of shame, dirty deeds done in our name. We came here in chains and we accept no blame for the rape and pillage done in our name. The Earth lies bleeding, it’s time to stake our claim. Our Earth lies bleeding, step up and defend our Mother all you sisters and brothers. The Earth is a Wytch and they still burn Her. Our Earth lies bleeding. Our Mother lies bleeding. Brian Allen.

Wow .fantasic we really loved this .... absolutely fantastic peice of art/music.... we will be sharing this far and wide...love Richy from #EYERISHANDJAMAICAN #MOREBLACKSMOREDOGSMOREIRISH
This song has blown me away. Aine, you sing to so many of my own thoughts and feelings, and learning, over the last couple of years about Irish history and the Irish diaspora in Australia, and the violent colonisation of this country. Such a great partnership with Emily, and important call to action too, which I hope to rise to. There is often a romanticisation of Ireland by the diaspora, which can be cheap and hollow and racist. It's important to know what role we've played and are still playing as colonisers as you say. I went to Ireland last year and travelled to the places and towns where my great grandparents on both sides of my family lived - notably my great grandmother who emigrated at 16 from Co. Galway - and met with cousins for the first time, who welcomed me so warmly. It was very emotional. Walking on and in the land and country felt profoundly connecting too. Solidarity and thanks for this powerful rebel call.

Living Next Door to Malice.
We were British subjects but
not proud of it and
we carried no shame.
We’re Aussie subjects and
we are proud of it,
while we carry the burden
of shame,
dirty deeds
done in our name.
We came here in chains
and we accept no blame
for the rape and pillage
done in our name.
The Earth lies bleeding,
it’s time to stake our claim.
Our Earth lies bleeding,
step up and defend our Mother
all you sisters and brothers.
The Earth is a Wytch and they
still burn Her.
Our Earth lies bleeding.
Our Mother lies bleeding.
