    The metaphor behind this is seriously deep.. frightening imagery of what took place back in those days. the song is calming but when u think of the level of violence the writer is referencing that's a paradox within it self... music is powerful it proves that word is not just wind.. words can change the world.. words are information and the information that we receive can make or break us! Andra day stellar performance she had everything down.

    I have been in love with Ms Day’s voice since the moment I heard it. I was feeling sorry for myself that she hadn’t produced more music for me to purchase and then BAM!!! She makes a movie and a sound track. What a performance in the movie. She channeled Billi more than Ms Ross and I didn’t think that was possible. I stand in awe of Ms day and hope to see her on the big screen again. Thank you for bringing the issue of the Lynching law still being active!!
