SOMETHING ELSE
Tide Is Turning — Dropped September 25, 2026
A protest song disguised as a fairy tale: there was a country that won a war, and it turned its victory into a store. Easy on the ear, harder on the conscience — endless war as an endless business, and a last verse that imagines the way out. The seventh single building toward the second album, Jaymes With A Why.
