Saturday Dissent

A couple of us sang in the wind and rain and joined the Silent Interfaith March to the ICE facility to show our support for and solidarity with those who have been taken. This event happens every 4th Saturday 90 minutes before Sunset.  They ended the March with the song Never Turning Back by Pat Humphries. We sang the version by Emma's Revolution.

Lyrics

Gonna keep on moving forward
Keep on moving forward
Keep on moving forward
Never turning back
Never turning back

Sigamos adelante
Siempre adelante (x2)
Sin volver atrás (x2)

Gonna keep on loving boldly
Keep on loving boldly (x2)
Never turning back (x2)

Amaremos con pasión
Siempre con pasión (x2)
Sin volver atrás (x2)

Gonna reach across our borders
Reach across our borders (x2)
Never turning back (x2)

Vivamos sin fronteras
Siempre sin fronteras (x2)
Sin volver atrás (x2)

Reunite the families (x3)
Never turning back (x2)

Familias reunidas
Siempre reunidas (x2)
Sin volver atrás (x2)

Gonna keep on moving forward
Keep on moving forward (x2)
Never turning back (x2)

Friday Song Circle, October 24, 2025

We gathered at my house Friday to sing and drink tea and laugh and cry. Some of the songs we sang were:

Right Place, Right Time by Samara Jade.

This is the same woman who write the What I never was broken song. I only remembered part of the song correctly. Here an acapella recording I made with Whitney and Ilana during deep covid quarantine, and here is a video of Samara Jade and Acorn Kin playing it with instrumental accompaniment. So good! 

Lyrics:

1. I believe that I’m in the right place at the right time

This wave is crashing down and it’s the one for me to ride

2. Crazy world, crazy times

Gonna let go of what oughtta be

And hang on for the ride

​3. Ebb and Flow

Rising Falling
