[@BasilDogbreath]

Kate Tempest is rapidly becoming the voice of the forgotten generation in the UK. The honesty and integrity that she puts into her writing and her performance is like a shining beacon of light in the darkness. Well keep shining, you beautiful human being you.

[@nickmoranis2865]

Might help if you actually bought her records. Physical copy? Actually support?

[@BasilDogbreath]

Nick Moranis I have 😉

[@Blifenlife]

Even for a Spanish like me who lived in the UK can be a voice. She is a poet.

[@nickmoranis2865]

Garazi Ureta Ofizialdegi You could write a beautiful poem about tapas or sombreros. I’ll carry on trying to make haggis and kilts romantic. x

[@Blifenlife]

Actually, I am from the Basque Country and we eat Pintxos instead of Tapas. I don't know if your comment is a little bit sarcastic... I could make a poem about the troubles I have for being foreign living in the UK, Brexit, classism, and about serving posh students in Cambridge and punting.... without of course, don't forgetting Spanish corrupt government. x

[@Honky_time]

"I'm screaming at my loved ones to wake up and love more" - amazing

[@rosa7264]

100%

[@almichael74]

This girl might be a genius, I swear, I like this so much I can’t even believe it. The world needs a new Shakespeare, especially here in America.

[@jakubondrus6064]

You know Kae is British, right?

[@NabilsYouTube]

absolutely amazing. i wish i could listen to her more, but all too often i'm moved to tears

[@Plutoquintana]

That's a good thing, that you are being moved to tears, it means you are human :)

[@Th3Myst1cPug]

Ahhhhhh I clicked back really want to stress that was a joke I meant to type more than pig poof lol I had similar responses

[@jodyflanagan4028]

She is the Bob Dillon of 2020

[@jodyflanagan4028]

She is so amazing!!!! I wish we could get her big here in america!!!! We need her!!!!

[@givemeabreakatlast]

Verse 1] Indigenous apocalypse, decimated forest, the Winter of our discontent’s upon us Desolate apostles, left with Strongbow at the crossroads We are nothing but an eating mouth, oesophagus, colossal We won’t stop until we’ve beaten down the planet into pellets Before the interstellar mission to inflict more terror It’s killing me, it’s killing me, it’s filling me, I’m vomiting, it’s still in me Everything is fine really, silly me Poor kids shot dead, poor kids locked up Poor kids saying, “This is the future that you left us?” Stopped up lunch meat, processed, punch from an unclean fatcat Tasty, tasty poison Carcinogenic, diabetic, asthmatic, epileptic, post-traumatic, bipolar and disaffected Atomised, thinking we’re engaged when we’re pacified Staring at the screen so we don’t have to see the planet die [Hook] What we gonna do to wake up? We sleep so deep, it don’t matter how they shake us If we can’t face it, we can’t escape it But tonight the storm’s come [Verse 2] She’s screaming, she’s screaming The drones turned her beautiful boy into a pile of bones No body to bury, nobody is home Running from war, the boat’s full, the boat’s sinking a mile off shore No beds in the hospitals, our minds are against us Imagine your daughter was gunned down defenceless on her way to school There’d be uproar But she’s collateral damage, it doesn’t matter Now if our kids are fine, that’s enough for us You can’t love into a vacuum, there’s got to be a limit Welcome to the biggest crime that’s ever been committed You think you and I are different kinds, you’re caught up in specifics You and I apart are easier to limit The illusion’s so complete it’s impossible to bring it into focus Cinematic stock footage, you think people are locusts Uniform men keep unleashing explosives [Hook] What we gonna do to wake up? We sleep so deep, it don’t matter how they shake us If we can’t face it, we can’t escape it But tonight the storm’s come [Verse 3] Tunnel vision, tunnel vision Work, drinks, heartbreak You can’t face the past, the past’s a dark place Can’t sleep, can’t wake, sitting in our boxes Notching up our victories as other people’s losses Another day, another chance to turn your face away from pain Let’s get a takeaway And meet me in the pub a little later, we’ll say the same things as ever Life’s a waiting game When we gonna see that life is happening? And that every single body bleeding on its knees is an abomination And every natural being is making communication And we’re just sparks, tiny parts of a bigger constellation We’re miniscule molecules that make up one body You see the tragedy and pain of a person that you’ve never met Is present in your nightmares, in your pull towards despair And the sickness of the culture, and the sickness in our hearts Is a sickness that’s inflicted by this distance that we share Now, it was our bombs that started this war And now it rages far away So we dismiss all its victims as strangers But they’re parents and children made dogs by the danger Existence is futile, so we don’t engage But it was our boats that sailed, killed, stole, and made frail It was our boots that stamped It was our courts that jailed And it was our fuckin’ banks that got bailed It was us who turned bleakly away Looked back down at our nails and our wedding plans In the face of a full-force gale, we said “Well, it’s not up to us to make this place a better land It’s not up to us to make this place a better land.” Justice, justice, recompense, humility Trust is, trust is something we will never see Till love is unconditional The myth of the individual has left us disconnected, lost, and pitiful I’m out in the rain It’s a cold night in London And I’m screaming at my loved ones to wake up and love more I’m pleading with my loved ones to wake up and love more

[@gretchennichols9141]

Well done.

[@inverted_real_it_y]

Thanks

[@Warnerchild]

i'm obsessed with this synth

[@TheOfficialRemiMoore]

Me too. I was turning knobs in my mind trying to shape it up lol

[@carapatanwilliamjoshuad.9267]

I want instrumental version reminds me phantogram

[@sophiebrown2199]

This whole album is still so incredible and relevant. Absolutely love Kae's work. Share this far and wide people. Everyone needs to hear this message and feel it in their hearts

[@Twystedsyxx]

This reminds me of a quote from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.” You guys...I think we found the real Fenchurch.

[@jhob101]

This song keeps getting more and more relevant. Kate Tempest is just incredible.

[@sunnidays1]

This artist just keeps on producing the finest truths. She just keeps getting better and better. Just magnificent,. Listen people to her, she speaks the TRUTH. Keep it real.

[@manuelatattini8631]

Meravigliosa, devastante, pura e splendente, artista immensa.

[@jamesparker5301]

Lyrical genius. More truth, honesty and poetry out of this song within the first 60 seconds than 99.99% of all music out there. "Blame him, he's the criminal" - there it is. Those 5 words, for me at least elevate this to the next, stratospheric, one in a generation level.

[@guacamole2402]

These last few lines actually moved me to tears, wow

[@mayamercy4462]

I listen to this, and so many of her other works of art, and I shake and cry so much at how honest and true it is. It fills me with a million emotions that I can't even put into words. I wish the whole world would listen to the lyrics of all of her work and shake and cry and open their eyes and want to change the way things are. She really is the most talented person I have come across in my life

[@darktrain1971]

Powerful and relevant track with brilliant wordplay.. Hope she's gets wider acclaim cos she's going places

[@doh5artcrimeskrew]

I sincerely think I love you. Cheers from Napoli,your rap is just amazing!

[@andymcbride4262]

I have to watch this at least once a day. I find something new in it each time.

[@TheConstant82]

I love that 6955 vibe on the track. Also phenomenal lyrics. KT was such a discover for me. Great job.

[@billythepigeon7345]

Just listened start to finish in order. I'm angry, angry with myself for taking so long to get onto this. Strong from start to finish, not a single weak link.

[@sophierasheed3026]

goosebumps. goosebumps. goosebumps.

[@donnaandrus2352]

I will never tire of this artist. ❤️🌈

[@CRHall-ud9mq]

I'm in awe by this track, to which I can relate so much, by the brilliant lyricist Kate Tempest. I have this track on replay, can't help it, it's so good!

[@Venimutiste]

My fav song from let them eat chaos and this video is perfect

[@ishmiel21]

Awesome. Powerful and awesome.

[@RyoMcoggy]

Beautiful & that synth is hypnotic.

[@p.fubumc]

Kate Tempest , real Mc!!! o brasil está na escuta.

[@eisfreiblabla]

First meaningful good track in a looong time for me! Didn't knew anybody sings about the real stuff!

[@kimlarocque8096]

Thanks for sharing... My family has spent generations fighting this horror which started with the Hudson bay.

[@4revgreen]

This is simply beautiful. I am speechless

[@heedmedia]

My response is f*****g relief, what we're living in has made its way into music in a intelligent informed & eloquent way, nice one Kate Tempest.

[@NovemberThreeThree]

I could write my own stuff but on my best day my words are scrawling crayons against what is recorded here Love this ❤

[@eddjordan2399]

Amazing amazing amazing

[@newgamediablo3578]

What an amazing song ! A slap in my face ! I still don't understand everything cause english is not my native language, but i can feel this powerful mix of anger and love at the same time !!!

[@dopeyb218]

That beat is just sublime

[@SOpunkSOwhat]

"Wake up and Love more." Yep, Love IS all we need, the rest follows.

[@interludejones]

Wow. Amazing.

[@sf5823]

Now here is a artist that who is actually using the power of word to have an impact! Truth, honesty, integrity to bring into focus our ignorance... Taking the blinkers off humanity will be us taking back our power, at the moment we are all sleeping in psychological slavery!

[@teofeo333]

intelligent, catchy, beautiful tempest

[@yoohoodrinker566]

Strange to think I discovered her in late May of last year in the US and thought "the US doesn't know how to protest anymore". In late May and early June of last year I was glad to be proven wrong.

[@neils86]

Think this is more relevant than ever right now, from someone with someone to lose, just like us all.......

[@donnaandrus2352]

From their album Let Them Eat Chaos, this artist speaks the truth. Wake Up. More Love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@davidlance5310]

I could hear her all day

[@chrischudley4228]

So true

[@kelve3]

Kate Tempest, poet. All day. Come back to St. Ann's in Brooklyn.

[@svenschops]

Ka(t?)e , I'm german, Berliner, but your texts seem to speak right out of my soul and heart ..also reminds me to the early works of Ann Clark ! I Love U for your music. Hope you'll never forget all these pain although I know it's fucking hard to bear ..

[@blue_tree_meadow]

Just superb. What more can I say?❤❤❤

[@Janewomanpower]

just discovered this gem of an artist, from a panel on free will free speech .

[@sundukovitya]

Kate very cool!!!

[@m.a.g.3920]

Best urban poet since Tupac. nothing else to say....

[@cricksol]

[@aprilliamonroe9197]

[@stillunspoken1343]

Damnit, lady, you are fucking amazing.

[@jaytomlinson747]

Just incredible. So refreshingly honest

[@Th3Myst1cPug]

Beautiful

[@delhidelirium9091]

Jason Williamson got me into this ... both bands the unarguably best thing which is taking place in batty Britain .

[@mexens]

Sorry... but no film can get close to the imagery that she creates with spoken words. What a deep soul.

[@pkinsella5271]

There is no justice....Just this

[@Rwecosher]

Are you from Frinton?

[@jamste1977]

This lady is really growing on me, long may it last.

[@dianekelly4951]

A very powerful truth, beautifully portrayed

[@stevosd60]

This girl is the business

[@sujangurung2303]

Only one w the real facts ! Its life.

[@Bil_086]

Love it!

[@buriedintime]

this track is so lush.

[@joshuawhite7660]

Incredible.

[@nobbystyles4807]

this is why as creative as i am i cannot sit down and write a lyric because i simply cant express myself as clearly and urgently as this and still keep that flow coming and on top of that (at the same time) not fall into the trap of hitting the cliches rap wise... its very very clever this. theres layers and shes making it sound like a piece of piss.

[@workinprogress77]

I'm pleading with all of us.

[@BeyondSideshow]

SO good.

[@paulmcdonald9592]

Thank you.

[@maximal1374]

[@PhatstuffVlogs]

[@kayisaweeb5226]

This is still so poignant and intense even years after its release. Maybe one day things will change for the better

[@Seba-yj5sc]

4 years old but it could be released today...

[@Cryolemon]

Serious fucking righteous anger is, for the most part, lacking these days. This goes someway to remedying that.

[@gaiacarabillo5335]

che brava sei

[@JoelKosa13]

Can anyone PLEASE explain how to create the synth which starts at the beginning and continues throughout??

[@FUFUFUFPV]

You felt it before us Kate.

[@laurieprice535]

Ive just found the new Dylan.And is'nt she beautiful?

[@nickmoranis2865]

Just picked up her novel. I actually didn't know girls could write! Amazing! What's next? Sewing or something. Crazy.
