Wendy McNeill - Civilized Sadness (Official Video)
https://www.facebook.com/WendyMcNeillMusic
A Kurdish woman thinks back on the event that sent her family running for their lives - the Halabja poison gas attack on Kurdistan on March 16, 1988.
She is grateful to have survived and been given the opportunity for a fresh start - thousands weren't so lucky - but part of her still longs to be closer to the roots that she left behind.
Before the gas bombs were dropped, the planes tested the wind currents by dropping blank pages of paper over the city.
This song was inspired by Choman Hardi's poems - "My Mother's Kitchen" and "Two Pages"
LYRICS:
Civilized Sadness - March 16,1988 lament
I can't show you the border
on a man - made map
on the ridge of our mountain
we had four seasons
I really miss that
pages - blank pages - fell from the sky
and we all went running over
thrilled by the surprise
testing - testing
then it fell from the sky
first it smelled like sweet apples
first it smelled sweet
life is a lottery
it favours the quick
memory is elusive
runs away
awayay
away
with
it
I hear her singing to the plums and the grapes
see her nimble hands sewing cotton and lace
bags which would protect fruit from bees
all of these things I carry with me
my sister's smile, my father's poetry
but I know that
"I will never inherit
my mother's trees"
