“I am Cordelia Fri — a Swedish singer and songwriter from Gothenburg who´s written music for years but only shared it with few — until now. I write music from the depth of my soul and with nature as my biggest influence. Through my songs I want to mediate hope for humanity, the love that bears life and the kindness of trees. My genre may be described as folk/indie/alternative and i write in both swedish and english.”
The song is written from the perspective of a child, a child in Gaza who has lost
it´s mother and all it´s security. It also addresses the war crimes and dehumanization that the IOF inflicts on the Palestinian people. The song began when I was beside myself with anger and sadness after following the genocide in Gaza for a long time. The song was recorded with simple means in our living room.
Song Title: Come back from the stones
Come back from the stones – Cordelia Fri
You write your names on the bombs
So tough behind your missile launcher dressed up at Santa Claus
You say we’re animal people What does that mean? Why are we unworthy of your empathy?
Mama where have you gone
I’m hungry and cold
I need you beside me
Come back from the stones
Come back from the stones
I’m gonna die here
Come back from the stones
I need you beside me
Ooohhh…
Another bomb, and you rejoice
You mock the children you’ve killed
Swinging on their swings
And trashing their toys
Not even an animal can fail to see
You’re the ones who have lost your humanity
Mama where have you gone?
I’m hungry and cold
I need you beside me
I can’t sleep on my own
Come back from the stones
I’m gonna die here
Come back from the stones
I need you beside me
Mama, where have you gone,
I’m hungry and cold
I need you beside me
Come back from the stones
Come back from the stones
I’m gonna die here
Come back from the stones,
I need you beside me
Ooohh…
