Brook House Sessions 2019

This song was written in Brook house in a workshop with Alex and Sophia

"I write to survive" is an original rap by Mark, on a 4 chord sequence which the musicians set up for him to write to.

You can hear a the refrain "I write to escape the madness, I write to be free" alongside Mark's rap talking about how he's growing and changing. He's "living in hell" and although he finds it so hard, he continues to look forward

This song was created with our musicians, Simon and Anna who were joined by our volunteer Sarah!

The song starts with a dutch rap, followed by English and a sung refrain (by Sarah) saying "stay strong, stand tall, it's gonna get better, lets keep it together"

Within the percussion breakdown, you hear a second rap - "I'd rather catch a bullet than to be a servant"

This song combines a few different genres including rap, hip hop, reggae style guitar, trap beats, and latin percussion
