No Rest For The Wicked

Behind The Song:

The song is an expression of rage against the accusers of the witch trials. I wanted to create a song that really encapsulated the outrage I felt at there being no justice for the accused.

While researching this project i did a lot of site visits and pressed flowers from each site. I wanted to include that imagery in this song and speak to the ideas of women being delicate like flowers. The idea of training flowers to grow how you want them, killing ones that don’t ‘fit’ your garden, inspecting them, using chemicals to make them grow stronger and pruning flawed petals or leaves was all something I felt could relate to how women have been groomed for generations to act, look and be a certain way. Since the witch trials, women have been trained to be the perfect flowers.

This song also reflects on the saying ‘no rest for the wicked’ and asks where these accusers are buried, to disturb their rest, because the accused were not the wicked ones.
