Pour ceux qui ne verraient tjs pas le rapport, je peux plus rien...

[Duchounette]

Last night I heard the screaming

Loud voices behind the wall

Another sleepless night for me

It won't do no good to call

The police

Always come late

If they come at all

Alors en gros, ça veut dire que les flics servent à rien, quand une femme se fait battre, ils répondent qu'ils ne peuvent rien faire concernant les affaires domestiques. Par contre, quand il s'agit de sévir, ils sont tjs présents.

Dans la chanson tracy dit qu'ils viennent tjs trop tard, si tant est qu'ils viennent.

[Duchounette]

Last night I heard the screaming

Then a silence that chilled my soul

Prayed that I was dreaming

When I saw the ambulance in the road

And the policeman said

"I'm here to keep the peace

Will the crowd disperse

I think we all could use some sleep"

[Duchounette]

Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late hey If they come at all And when they arrive They say they can't interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes

This video is a distortion, a twisting, even a manipulation perhaps. The song is about gender violence that women suffer only for being women. It`s about machismo and misoginy. It`s for the 92 women murdered by her partners or ex partners after years of torture at home in Spain. Not about police brutality in a demonstration. But yes about impunity and police indifference when a woman is raped or murdered.

Thats what a great singer she is!! she dosent need music!! great!

[KorimizuAyame]

Lots of people have said this already but... This song isn't about police brutality, so the pictures in the video make no sense at all... it's about domestic violence, which is obvious to anyone who's experienced such a situation..

Speechless...

I remember this song coming out many years ago and around the same time a woman called Mary had been killed in my area, a small woman who's husband had swung her against the wall by her ankles... In Britain the domestic abuse policies have changed drastically since then thank goodness.... I have just seen the message by HotheadAradia and can only hope that things have changed in Spain and other places too.

[Tismesue]

I don't really understand the video with this song? It's about the failure of police action in domestic violence incidents. I was really confused, at first I thought maybe this was footage of a domestic violence protest, but no it seems to be about police brutality... It's the wrong song for this footage or vice versa... I don't mean to be critical but it just doesn't sit right, both issues are hugely important but this seems to be a huge misinterpretation of the lyrics...
