In the song’s manifesto, Laura Kidd says:
“I Want My Country Back is a roar of defiance and a heartfelt plea to my fellow British citizens to unite against the deafening rhetoric of the other peddled in the mainstream press. I’m so tired of the racist, xenophobic nonsense we’re pelted with daily, particularly in relation to the international refugee crisis and immigration in general. It’s been a bleak few years in UK politics. We now live in a country where private sector concerns are prioritised over the public sector – the very organisations which form the foundation of a compassionate society. I want to live in a world that revels in diversity and is united by empathy.”
She Makes War’s Laura Kidd is one of the key voices in indie music today. If you like it a bit tuneful and real and honest and pro-freedom, she’s your gal.
