"For Her" - Raoul Kerr

The name of the track is "For Her", it's a single from my debut album No Flag. It's called No Flag because it argues the need for us to fight for a united world, by devoting ourselves to humanity before our countries or our gods. It talks about the mindset that must exist before we raise flags of any kind.
"For Her" was inspired by the brutal rape of Nirbhaya, as much as it was by how little things changed in response to the collective expression of outrage that followed.
This song is full of rage, but it is rage that I hope we can thoughtfully harness in the pursuit of a world that is governed by compassion, rather than a need for power, domination and the fear of something or someone different.
Let's always use our words first and our hands if we must to defend people who need our support, to show the aggressor that there is no justification for a descent into a predominantly primal state of mind, given their gift of human intelligence.
With #metoo, over the last few days we have shown that we're not afraid to speak out, we've highlighted the magnitude of the problem, and in doing so we've created a platform for us to stand united. This is a chance to fight back on a global scale and reshape the world we live in.
Let's take it.

The world's a bad place, so I'm using rap music to build an army for change. The internet generation has the ability to mobilize on a global scale. Share this message, follow the page, and when we're strong enough, we can begin the war to end all wars: The war for a united world. This is the weaponization of compassion.

[@pankajsharma7972]

Respect brother 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 only punishment for crime such as rape is feeding them alive to rats

[@giwrgosmegas7750]

Coming after having listened to Bloodywood as well, but holy fuck. Never expected such a beast to make such inspirational lyrics. Just turned into a huge fan of him.

[@maryholzman-tweed3445]

I really like that you centered the women - yes, it was your voice, but womens faces were all that was seen. That is important, and graceful of you.

[@parasbisht7990]

Here after bloodywood! Powerful stuff dude!

[@Experimetal]

Same here, I came from Bloodywood ;)

[@JDogg95]

Bloodywood is amazing. All their songs are on my Spotify Playlist and now him too. Amazing music!

[@yeraschitt2642]

After discovering Bloodywood on my Roku device, I decided to go on my computer and give them a like. I came here because of their recommendations and I'm glad I did. Very powerful lyrics.

[@daniellamorais100]

Same!

[@symeonwebb]

Awesome 💛🖤💛

[@Sluj666]

This is criminally underrated! This needs millions of Likes!

[@jasonshibley3695]

Raoul, you are a true poet and artist. You are to be respected.

[@nachtschatten5790]

Guided here by Bloodywood! Thanks and a lot´s of Respect for this Song.It´s Strong and Poewerful! Humanity must stand together! Greetings from Germany!

[@ivarogic5523]

Wow..! Just Wow, I am absolutely amazed by words and video. In the name of all women in the world, thank you! Although, sadly, a significant number of women would find a justification for rape and other forms of abusement and harassment. Such a powerful message and yet, so disappointingly little views. And, yes, I am going to spread the word :) All the music you make has so intelligent and clear message in beautifully written lyrics. Thank you and keep making more music; I especially liked your collaboration with Bloodywood, which is what brought me here :D

[@AGDinCA]

Powerful, Raoul. And, speaking as a woman, it is also deeply appreciated.

[@ItsAsparageese]

WOW. Like so many others, I'm here by way of your work with Bloodywood. This was as powerful and bold as I knew it would be, but also even more artistically beautiful than I had dreamed. The choice to center the women delivering the lyrics was brilliant. The filming was brilliant. The women on screen (the authenticity is too clear for them to be called actresses or performers) were brilliant. The vibe was perfect. And oh man, "this is just one of many possible explanations, but there is not a single fking justification" WOW what a PERFECT lyric. This is nuance that's desperately needed in discourse, so we can talk about explanations -- and thus address them on a societal level -- without being mistaken for justifying. I love everything about this. Thank you so much for your incredible work.

[@moonsuske]

bloodywod caught my attention and MAN you are brilliant...best of luck for your future. kudos.

[@Crogatho]

Hey Raoul, your voice with Bloodywood's music sounds so dope. I really hope you'll be a permanent rap voice for their music. And, of course, your own songs are dope too. And your message in this song is so good, my fiance was a rape victim in her previous relationship, her boyfriend raped her while he was high on cocaine or something.. But it was still her fault according to the authorities.. it's always the woman's fault if she gets raped, according to authorities. This song needs to go global, man. Respect from Sweden!

[@craigduffy3326]

1:29 to 1:44 is possibly the best thing I have ever seen, from every aspect of production. Amazing! I can't stop watching it :)

[@benjimenpeterson4977]

Such an awesome song to hear nowadays! We NEED more speakers of truth, like u, my brotha from another mother! Keep it up!

[@chaissoncreative2138]

Thank you Raoul...! Too many of my lady friends have had to suffer in silence. Your music has given some of them the strength to go forward and get the justice they deserve.

[@turtlefoot13]

Every person in every society needs to hear this song. This video needs to have more views than any other video on KZbin. If this mindset was actually held by every person, the extension of the predator would begin. Please keep up the good work.

[@tiffers1982]

Bloodywood brought me here. I don't really listen to rap but this is so good. Very powerful message. I'm really liking your stuff.

[@asrevta]

Guided here by Jaby Koay!

[@christianluongo500]

Raoul, You are truly an inspiration. You are the one that everyone should strive to be… I say this as I make a fist and hold it to my heart in salute to you brother. A girl I once loved very much and almost married was brutally raped and it ultimately destroyed us… your words are awesome and I'm proud to stand by you in your army...The war that will end all wars! Hearts full of love saying fuck you fool! Undivided we stand, TOGETHER WE RULE!

[@prosenjitroy4824]

bloodywood brought me here.... & u r awesome bro...

[@jsilva5037]

Just Dope. You have the presence, voice and a powerful message to bring into this world of chaos. Bring it on Lion!

[@swatichauhan7912]

Raoul hope you are doing well . Stay healthy dear brother ... Please make a song for us to cheer us up thank you

[@hrcko92]

Came here from Bloodywood and holy shit, I'm blown away. This is fucking amazing.

[@langelagrenouille]

Still gives me shivers. Hope you keep doing your own thing at some point. Bloodywood is awesome but you are great on your own as well.

[@chrisd.7473]

Εxcellent song, powerful lyrics and daring deliverance on a difficult topic Raoul, I only discovered you recently through Bloodywood and you are an inspiration! Please continue with full power. We need this kind of positive political/activist attitude in music so much. I love how you chose women to do the talking in the video and how you took down the justifications of rape culture. I would only perhaps make an slight objection concerning one lyric: it is usually women which are carriers of the liberal and men of the conservative attitude in my understanding. We, men having created patriarchical ideology are usually trying to make things "stay as they are"... Of course, it is very possible that having a different cultural background (I am Greek) I did not understand your reference correctly. Love from Greece! -Chris

[@basileiosschwarz1154]

Awesome video and song! Highly appreciated, and I can totally relate to the goosebumpbs others were talking about. Liked and shared, FOR SURE! Keep going, man, Don't let anyone stop you! Greethings from Austria, there are people all over the world, who are with you, and all those innocent women! P.L.U.R.

[@tanjaneumann4688]

May the Godess bless you . THANK YOU AND NAMASTE

[@MiscRocketVideos]

Wow. I just found Bloodywood a few weeks ago and the band message is amazing. A reference made me look this video up and it is a gut punch. Your lyrical skills are amazing and I hate all of the people who made you be able to write this song. In a proper society, it should have been impossible. I feel sincere hope for those who you wrote this song for. Amazing choices for the videographer as well. Great direction. Thanks for the work you're doing with Bloodywood, as I think the band will earn a worldwide stage and will try to help many good causes

[@askel-1]

Nice You are are a wordsmith and get the why of rap. Yr old school and get the spirit. I wish you every success in this harsh world.

Would love to chat to who thought of the idea for the video (hopefully its you Raoul Kerr). Nobody should be scared to write about topics that people ignore on a daily basis !!!!!!!!!!

[@Ravenlord47111]

All women should receive shield maiden training, so that they are never the victim of anyone. No matter what there will always be evil in this world give women the tools to not be engulfed in the evil.

[@greenfeather50]

I applaud the sentiment, but really, in areas of the world where feminine life is worth nothing in comparison to masculine life I can't see fighting, injuring, humiliating, killing your attacker turning out well in the end for a woman. More likely a prison sentence or worse. The system has to change.

[@Ravenlord47111]

how do you change a system? by fighting. If everyone you attack has a very good chance of of killing you are you going to attack them?

[@greenfeather50]

Unfortunately its an excruciatingly slow process, as we've witnessed. I totally agree with you that every woman should have the means to defend herself, its just a fucked up fact that in a lot of cases she might escape with her "honour" but not her freedom or life. Most societies don't want women to be able to defend themselves. I don't know if you've heard of the hatpin peril, where just after the turn of the century women would use their hatpins to defend themselves. The result was authorities regulating and trying to ban hatpins! I dunno, I guess if you look at certain US states where you can shoot and kill an attacker legitimately then defending yourself seems great, but in the context of places where the rapist is usually excused while the rapee is considered so vile and worthless they should be condemned to death by long, draw-out violent means then individual cases of self-defense must seem more undesirable. It's fucked up and I would encourage everyone to learn to defend against the scum of the earth. I despair of any society that judges a persons right to life without suffering based on biological features. Rapists should be fed their own genitals

Here in the US, this topic is coming up again because of the Sexual assault scandal of a conservative Supreme court judge pick. Sexual assault that he committed 35 years ago at age 17. The uptick in victim blaming and accusations of "politicizing" the issue really make me want to beat some sense into people. Listening to this song helped me to vent out my frustrations.
