I'm a hip - hop fan. Love stuff from Ludacris, Em, Jigga, Nas, etc... And this is now my top 5 songs EVER. Absolutely fantastic, my ears are orgasming!

The lyrics are really clever and does a great job at summing up how greed and fear builds metaphorical, economic and real concrete walls.What's really impressing is that I really believe this comes from her heart.

This is one of the WOW-SONG by Anais Mitchell

[JumpinJohnny0]

Such a brilliant song from an exceptional Album. So glad Anais was able to share the folk opera concept around the US and UK over the last year. Anytime you get a chance to see her perform solo or with others... is more than well worth it. She is one of those truly rare entertainers who honestly feels what she is singing and it comes through in her performances. I enjoyed seeing her on her home turf at the Langdon St.Cafe with Session Americana.Can't wait until Brattleboro show this month.
