about

Why haven't you said sorry ma? A question posed from a friend's ten-year-old daughter struggling through the unrecognizable social and emotional landscape of Covid quarantine. With so much wrapped up in a few words, Craig asked some follow up questions about the girl's experiences. The song emerges from this conversation and paints a beautiful and haunting musical still life of this moment in time.

lyrics

why haven’t you said sorry ma?
why haven’t you said sorry ma?
i’ve been waiting
trying not to blow
getting frustrated
my only answer’s no
i don’t wanna go outside
or go for a drive
to nowhere
to see no one

why haven’t you said sorry ma?
why haven’t you said sorry ma?
a bedroom’s no place
for a ballet bar
my stuffies give me nothing
i’m nobody’s star
I don’t want to talk about it
there i’m using my words
stop saying that name
it’s not me anymore

I had to hear you say it ma
I had to hear you say it ma
Let’s have a sleepover
In the guest bedroom
I’ll hit my besties up
On a tea party zoom
Ok
Good night
As long as you promise
It’ll be all right
