Do you really want to hurt me

by She Makes War

supported by

zawtowers Two killer tracks from the excellent She Makes War - easily a double A side. The cover of Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? works well and carries the emotion of the original well, and I Want My Country Back was my song of 2017 - it's a resonating anthem. Buy, listen, enjoy.

about

Track 1: Do you really want to hurt me
Yes - *that* song! Due to copyright I'm unable to offer a preview of the music here, but I'd describe it as sounding like The Breeders produced by Trent Reznor. You'll be able to stream it on all digital platforms from the release date but trust me, you're going to love this!

“In a time when hard fought for freedoms are in danger of being reversed and eroded and people still live in fear of persecution and violence every day for the “crime” of being themselves, it’s not enough for straight white liberals to pat themselves on the back for not being part of the problem - it’s way beyond time we become active allies. This single is a celebration of individuality, a tribute to an inspirational performer and my deliciously dark take on a bloody brilliant pop song”.

Track 2: "I Want My Country Back"
This song was originally released in 2017 as a protest against the liars, cheats and scoundrels running our country, both from the Conservative Government and from the right wing press. Sadly, it didn't change the world, but it brought feelings of hope and solidarity to me and some of you, and that's something worth fighting for.

Second pressing:
