about

'Reclaim These Streets' by the LOUD WOMEN collective is released with all proceeds to Women's Aid.

In the wake of the recent deaths of Blessing Olusegun and Sarah Everard, we hope to turn up the volume on current discussions on the issue of women’s safety. As the song says, “Until every woman is safe to walk on every street”.

The song was written by LOUD WOMEN’s founder, Cassie Fox, with a spoken word/rap section written and performed by Brix Smith. Instrumentation is provided by a female and non-binary supergroup with members of My Bloody Valentine, Salad and T-Bitch.

DJ John Kennedy gave the track its national radio debut last week on Radio X, and called it a "feminist Band Aid". Fittingly so! There are 64 contributing vocalists on this track, who form a who’s who of women in our music scene - and there's even someone who was on the original Band Aid song ...

lyrics

From the age of 13
I've known the fear of dark streets
I've known my body's danger
Can he hear my heart beat?
Every woman's got a story
Breaks silence with a whisper
Daring to tell her truth
Calling to her sisters

Text me you when get home
Keys between your fingers
Staying close to streetlights
Fear of shadows lingers

Till every woman's safe from harm in her own home
Till every woman's safe to live her truth
Till every woman's safe to walk on every street
Ooo-aah
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Ooo-aah

From the age of 13
Been told that it is my fault
Blamed for male violence
Better watch where I walk
We have a right to safety
She was just walking home
Too many women share a story
You are not alone

Text me you when get home
Keys between your fingers
Staying close to streetlights
Fear of shadows lingers

Till every woman's safe from harm in her own home
Till every woman's safe to live her truth
Till every woman's safe to walk on every street
Ooo-aah
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Ooo-aah

Born out of fear
Marinated in rage
It only takes desire
To implement a change
Shine a universal light
To illuminate the dark
Where one brave woman took a walk across the park
Together we come to make a stand
With empathy, love and courage in hand
The power of the people
When all of us are equal
It's our God-given right that we should feel safe

Ooo-aah
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Reclaim these streets! (Reclaim these streets)
Ooo-aah

Text me when you get home…
