NEW SONG FROM RED EYE 'BIG MAC BLUES'

This is a track from Red Eye, who cover raw social, emotional and political issues, based on the foundation that every song should carry a message.

Further information can be found on their website:

This track portrays the tough working experience of a McDonald's employee. While McDonald's is not the only company who has operated as part of the "Gig Economy", and although the problem isn't just one company, but the system of which it is part; with over a million workers worldwide ("From Japan to Amsterdam, In London, Munich and Milan...") McDonald's is an extremely important and relevant one.
With low wages, zero hour contracts and lack of union recognition, it is no wonder that there have recently been protests and global strikes ("McStrike") by McDonald's workers and others to ensure fast food workers have the right to a fair wage and decent working conditions. These have included "The Fight for 15" in the US and "Fast Food Rights" in the UK.
Hopefully the united and collective action of organisations like "Fast Food Rights", "The Fight for 15", the "McStrike" and other actions will have an impact and lead to better pay and conditions and union rights for all workers.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM RED EYE

This is the new Red eye song, 'Soho'. It is about the situation that is facing and has already affected the Soho district of London, even before lockdown measures because of the Corona virus. But it could equally apply to many areas in cities around the world where "good time cleansing" threatens to destroy the vibe and character of an area. It is depicted through the eyes and memories of an ex night worker, wanting to visit Soho one more time before it changes and "dies" forever.
For hundreds of years, London's Soho has been a safe haven for individuals, eccentrics and refugees from the mainstream. It has attracted and welcomed freaks, weirdos, gays... anyone who is different. "It was a place where people dared to be different. Indeed, were encouraged to be so."
Together with some of the damaging social consequences of gentrification to residential areas, there are also potentially irreversible consequences to vibrant inner city areas. As rents go up, music, noise and dance restrictions increase, and rich new residents put pressure on bars and nightclubs to close. As such there is a real danger that many lively, exciting areas which have existed for years are cleansed and gentrified forever. Very sad.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all staying safe

A big thanks for subscribing to Red Eye. I try not to send many messages, but always try to reply to people who message me individually. But I must thanks you all for helping Red Eye become Number 1 group in the United Kingdom for Soul, and Number 3 Globally. Fantastic news, really appreciated and so inspiring.

i also just posted another Red Eye song up on Number One Music - 'Relationships Look Closer in Rear View Mirrors', which I have attached.

I'll definitely be celebrating with a few beers tonight...although sadly, with the World lockdown, it will be in the house.

Cheers,

Trevor

This track was inspired by Nina Simone's version of "Strange Fruit". As I listened to Nina's version of "Strange Fruit", about the racism and lynching of African Americans in the 1930's, I wondered what she would be singing about now. Then I saw the haunting photo by Jose Palazon, of the migrants' rights group Pro De In. The photo shows Moroccan immigrants in Melilla, Spain, hanging onto a fence at a golf course at a border. I was immediately inspired by the combination, linked the two together and wrote the song.

Lyrics

1st Verse:

Moroccan fruit hangs from the fence,
It swings in vain, in high suspense,
Golfers play on take no notice,
It's just a game.


1st Chorus:

It's not a swarm, it's not a flood,
But a constant flow of blood,
We don't want you in our club,
Look away, look away.


2nd Verse:

African blood lies on the tracks,
It escaped war, genocide, attacks,
The freedom train demands a fatal tax,
And he paid in full.


2nd Chorus:

You send a drone, you drop a bomb,
And wonder why the people come,
But when they plead for asylum,
Look away, look away.


Mid 8:

My boy said come look at the picture,
There on the beach, a boy like me,
He's playing dead, please can I play that game,
Will you play that game with me....eh.


3rd/final verse:

Young Arab flesh lies on the sand,
Far too young to understand,
His father paid cash on demand,
So he could die free.

What price liberty
