I Hate This and I Hate You

Ruth Mundy

Released May 26, 2024
Written, recorded and produced by Ruth Mundy

This is a song expressing my unmitigated disgust with people in power committing, enabling, and profiting from genocide. Go get it and turn it up loud! All proceeds from Bandcamp sales of this single will be going to direct mutual aid fundraisers for people trying to evacuate Gaza.

Don't Swim Between the Flags

Ruth Mundy

Ruth Mundy is a New Zealand based singer songwriter who writes about social and political issues which impact the world, including climate change.

She collaborated with Moz ( Mostafa Azimitabar), a Kurdish political prisoner who has been stuck in the limbo of offshore detention in PNG for five years due to Australian government policyon this track. My hope is to thank her in person for her beautiful vocals one day.

@Reinhard: You sent a comment about a different song, "The Bird," and you did not include the lyrics of this song.

I heard a shower
At a midnight hour
Secret rain
Will it come again?
These birds sing 'yes'
And I do confess
