Sunflower Seeds

about

Written about the brave, unarmed Ukrainian woman who told a Russian soldier to take sunflower seeds to put in his pocket for when he dies on Ukrainian soil.

All profits going to the Red Cross to help Ukrainian refugees during this time of crisis.

lyrics

She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
So when you die something beautiful will grow"
She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
You shouldn't be here, it's time for you to go"

She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
You occupiers, you strangers in this land"
She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
You crossed a line here and now you are the damned"

Take your war, take your war
Far away from here
Take your war, take your war
Far away from here

She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
You pawns of evil and peddlers of hate"
She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
If you leave now, it won't be too late"

Take your war, take your war
Far away from here
Take your war, take your war
Far away from here

She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
so when you die something beautiful will grow"
She said: "put sunflower seeds in your pockets
You shouldn't be here, it's time for you to go"

about

Casee Wilson London, UK

Casee is a piano-acoustic singer-songwriter based in Madrid where she migrated in desperation after Brexit.. Her style has been described as "emotionally walloping piano-folk" but she likes to sprinkle synth elements into her music too.

When she is not gigging or writing she enjoys aikido, taiko drumming and chocolate.
And gin.

But we don’t like to talk about that. *hic*
