They’re hater and lover, they inform each otherĪttract and repel make us sick, make us wellīut in the end, we must hold them together”Įmily and Amy are not “sheltering in place” together, but at home with their own families. That song is about a paradigm of long-term vision in order to get back to a sense of, ‘OK, we’re at least working towards equity and fighting racism inwardly and outwardly.’ It’s a song about perspective.” “We’re a rich country because of capitalism and we all know the clichés like, ‘The rich get richer and the poor get poorer,’ and it’s true! These are things that have to be taken down bit by bit until unjust systems are dismantled. “In this country the only way to swing things back at all is to change the administration and elect new people into local civic government,” proposes Saliers. “But obviously, they’re still relevant and have a more enhanced focus now.” “The lyrics on this record are about things that were going on when we were writing the songs and making the record,” adds Ray. Those are the results of systemic problems.” Look Long, the latest album by Indigo Girls, to be released Friday. The song ‘Look Long’ is about perspective and long term thinking because the social problems of access to healthcare, food, resources and political voice these are problems that we’ve had forever and most of the world has had for ever and ever, since we were human colonies with governments and colonizers. Saliers describes the source of the latest Indigo Girls lyrics “There is this sense of social unease that I’ve been feeling a long time, but particularly after the presidential election (2016). “I’m no awol patriot because I’ve dodged your party lines, These problems don’t go away with something like this pandemic a lot of them get worse and some of them get pushed aside.” And hunger Yemen was suffering with a lot of starvation and of course now it’s even worse. I was talking about the lockdown that schools get when there’s a gun violence situation. “And paying homage to the kids that are marching and the people who are trying in earnest to come up with new ideas. “The song “Muster” is about gun violence and the state of the world,” Ray told the Sentinel. “It’s your first lock down, you’re so youngīut so are the kids under the barrel bombs” Due for release on May 22, “Look Long” grapples lovingly and melodically with politics and culture including realms like gun violence in America, gender identity, the paradox of love and loss and good ‘old southern living. Amy Ray and Emily Saliers – the folk-rock duo Indigo Girls – are urging this perspective on their new album “Look Long.” And the two singer/guitarists are looking both toward the past and the future. As we move through the coronavirus pandemic with great uncertainty, holding a long-term view can be beneficial.
