Feed them with hunger Feed them with greed Know it’s a stunner Echoing cheat Amazing Amazon Will please you and tease you Erase and delete Up goes the money Down to the beat Everything looks sunny At this side of the street Beat them with hunger beat them with greed Know it’s a stunner Echoing cheat Amazing Amazon Will cease you increase you Default and defeat Down go the wages Up to the beat Everything looks funny At the heart of Wall Street lyrics Elvis Peeters

One hand stirs the soup The other bandages a scraped knee The third holds the telephone And the fourth turns up the volume One the radio To catch the news We attended parlor meetings After the children were fed and put to bed After we had hung the laundry and washed the dishes We had a large assembly at the Jerusalem hall Everyone applauded the beautiful speeches And drove home But we stayed on the dangerous roads And went on having More babies Carefully monitoring High risk pregnancies And tending husbands With flue One hand stirs the soup The other bandages a scraped knee The third holds the telephone And the fourth turns up the volume One the radio To catch New sounds lyrics Tamar El-Or and Gideon Aran

cradle 03:27
They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea, He wields a mighty spectre, O'er lesser powers that be, But a mightier power and stronger, Man from his throne has hurled, For the hand that rocks the cradle, Is the hand that rocks the world. – lyrics : Wiliam Ross Wallace

Our only hunger is the food If we obey Free Markets mood It’s constant care is not to feed But to make money of our greed Our only hunger is the food If we obey Free Markets mood It’s constant care is not to feed But to make money Of what we eat lyrics: Elvis Peeters

Shame on us Not to see us Overwhelmed by too many papers Not to see them Without No man’s land In a so called free land If their only way out Is to conquer hearts Of wellfared women How do you think their perception Of love Is molded Again and again Obliged to lie Not able to greet Their dying mothers lyrics: Kaat De WIndt

SAND AND SEEDS Finding seeds for our way back home Those seeds that once where promising and bright As light opening wide As a babysent so sweet Sand and seeds for our way back from home Finding seeds for our way back, back home Wish you where there by my side my child Your eyes that once looked promising and bright As light opening white Growing seeds for our new way, way home Growing seeds , promising and bright As light opening wide Through a small split of those prison doors As raindrops in springtime. Growing seeds for our new way, way home For our new life, free life back home. lyrics Kaat De Windt

SILENCE RAMPAGE When you raise your rage In a silent rampage There’s no bird to sing There’s no soul to cling There’s that world outside With its strange fits of light Showing nothing That’s wrong or right Swept with the crowd You swamp about When you raise your rage In a silent rampage There’s no bird to cheep There’s no soul to squeak There’s that world outside With its strange fits of light Showing nothing That’s wrong or right Got no loin to eat No bitcoin to cheat Just a final tweet Push the repeat Of a love of your own You’ll stick alone Alone You’ll stick alone To that bone lyrics Elvis Peeters

about

princess4president is a project by pianist/composer Kaat De Windt, bass player Mirko Banovic, drummer Etienne Plumer and singers Naomi Sijmons and Annelies Van Dinter.

The colourful pop and jazz arrangements created by the rhythm section form the basis of the headstrong universe that Kaat De Windt’s compositions populate.

Free jazz forms and minimal pop acquire the warmth of gospel and desert blues without forfeiting rawness.

The socially committed lyrics of Elvis Peeters (among others), the enveloping voices of singers Naomi Sijmons (aka Reena Riot) and Annelies Van Dinter (Echo Beatty), the grooves and palate of sounds by bass player Mirko Banovic (Arno, Arsenal), the delicate and tribal percussion of Etienne Plumer (Rêve d’Eléphant, Animus Anima) and the headstrong keys of Kaat De Windt result in true musical gems.

Guests musicians: Lucy Grauman, backing voice, Nabou Claerhout, trombone
