FreezerRoom is a collaborative group from Cork with Graham White and Rory Dempsey at its core.
For their mix they took the isolated vocal and added lush strings, drums and bass and totally transformed this acapella folk ballad.
Featuring the vocals of Ruth Smith, Alma Kelliher, Sadhbh O'Sullivan, Jess Leen, Cari Q and Niamh Farrell.
”I called on a group of women I find inspiring to join me on this song. It feels like a rallying cry - a protest song. I needed an army of mná.”
lyrics
'Til your eyes find me I'm strong as my bones
'Til then here I stand, I am strong as my bones
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'til then, only then I am strong as my bones
Then only then I am all self-doubt
All my will and my won't fly out of my mouth
Like a little white dove that you've trained so well
to sing prettily along to another bird's song
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'til then, only then I am strong as my bones x 2
Meanwhile I’m tall, I am tow'ring above
All your hate in your soul can't undo this self-love
Like a little white dove that will soar on the wind
Proudly bruising my lungs with the songs I have sung
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'til then, only then I am strong as my bones x 2
I'll beat my breast cry a great fearsome cry
See you cowering then, as I fly high
And when I am done, oh I’ll swoop on down
Seeking those eyes of judgement, I'll peck 'em out
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'til then, only then I am strong as my bones
But for now I belong to no beast, man, or thing,
My own self is my own I am strong as my bones
Like a fierce bird of prey that knows only the hunt
With a strength you don't know how your pretty bird's flown
'Til your eyes find me I am strong as my bones
'til then, only then I am strong as my bones x 4
