A music video that could have been shot in the United States today, but was filmed in 2018 in Istanbul. Scenes of aggressive policing and implied violent demonstrations...fascism afoot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfhuVE-uda4 Turkish blues - a painful love song Bir Yaralı Kuştum Song by Gaye Su Akyol ‧ 2018 Keder, feza üstüne Yayılır elem içimden gökyüzüne Onu benden çok sevmiş Paramparça bir hikâye Ömür ömür üstüne Yaralar sirayet etmiş her yerime İzini kaybettim artık Yarım kaldı bu hikâye Bir yaralı kuştum Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara Bir yaralı kuştum Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara Acın içimde bıçak Kesiyor damarlarımdan eski ben'i Yakalandım sevda çölüne Su ver yangınıma, heyhat! Yıkın bu şehri yıkın Sokağı, sevdamı, hatıramı yıkın Geceler saklar sırlarımı Bitmiyor bu yangın Bir yaralı kuştum Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara Bir yaralı kuştum Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara I Was a Wounded Bird Song by Gaye Su Akyol ‧ 2018 Sorrow upon sorrow Anguish spreads from within me up to the sky He loved her more than he loved me A story shattered into pieces A lifetime upon a lifetime Wounds have spread and seeped into every part of me I have lost his trail now This story remains unfinished I was a wounded bird I flew and flew, far away from you I was a wounded bird I flew and flew, far away from you Your pain is a knife inside me Severing the "old me" from my very veins I have been ensnared in the desert of love Give water to my burning soul—alas! Tear down this city, tear it down Tear down the streets, my love, my memories The nights keep my secrets hidden This fire never ends I was a wounded bird I flew and flew, far away from you I was a wounded bird I flew and flew, far away from you #Fascism #Politics #USpol #MAGA #Trump #Resist #GeneralStrike #Music #Blues #Turkey #Anatolia #Psychedelic #GayeSuAkyol #LGBTQ
