Georgia van Etten - Deep Black Water [Official Music Video]

Listen to 'Deep Black Water' now at: https://birthdaycake.ffm.to/deepblack... The Story: "‘I wrote 'Deep Black Water' to provide a powerful reflection of life as a young person today. Inspired by the stories collected from students I have taught in London’s poorest areas and that of my own experiences in a money-driven, elitist world. The song depicts the grit of city living and I wanted to echo this in the music video by exploring the lives of young people in an honest and confronting way. The phrase 'Deep Black Water' was inspired after a panicked experience with the deep drop off when swimming out too far and this feeling of hopelessness is conveyed in the video alongside an angered will to overcome fear and call for urgent change. The song and video address the unfair reputation bestowed upon my generation and shed light on the reality which sees young people work multiple jobs only to just scrape by, who cannot afford university or are burdened with life-long debt, who face extreme class struggle, racism and live under governments who do not listen. I hope it serves as an important talking point". - Georgia Video Credits: Director: Freddie Wright Cinematographer: Saskia Dedman  Gaffer: Sam Baker  Camera Assistant: Andre Moore Runner: Izzy Petherbridge  Edit: Freddie Wright  Grade: Caroline Morin  Grade Post House: WASH Cast: Kelvin Ghann Yaz Senghor Jamie Slevin Scarlett Stitt Thanks To: Beth Roberts Ieva Petravičiūtė Ana Krkljus Liam Woolmer Thompson Rachel Bashford James Sheridan Vigor Ersan Beskardes Peter Bishop Simon Van Parijs Production Credits: Songwriter/Composer: Georgia van Etten Producer: Edwin Ireland Producer: Georgia van Etten String Arrangement: Edwin Ireland Recording Engineer: James Kenosha Mixing Engineer: James Kenosha Mastering Engineer: John Davis at Metropolis Studios Musician Credits: Vocals: Georgia van Etten Backing Vocals: Edwin Ireland, Jed Bevington, Artie Zaitz Guitar 1 (solo): Mike Redfern Guitar 2: Edwin Ireland Guitar 3: Artie Zaitz Lap Steel Guitar: Mike Redfern Drums: Oscar Reynolds Organ: David Ferris Synth: Edwin Ireland Violin: Jed Bevington Cello: Edwin Ireland Percussion: Oscar Reynolds Percussion: Edwin Ireland Follow Georgia: Youtube: http://bit.ly/subscribegeorgiavanetten Facebook:   / georgiavanettenmusic   Instagram:   / georgiavanetten   Spotify: http://bit.ly/georgiavanetten Apple Music:   / georgia-van-etten   Twitter:   / georgiavanetten   Lyrics: You can keep your god damn invitation We can’t play any harder to survive You go ahead and blame my generation Working three jobs to keep above the line Maybe we should get some education If Daddy’s rich and Mummy’s skin is white Or you could lend that money from a corporation And pay them, till the day you die There’s no quiet in the hum of the city So in the city, we will rise CHORUS Take me down to the deep black water I’ll be there I will be your daughter Take me down to the deep black water now I will stand, you give the order We will march till we break the border Take me down to the deep black water now The train to hell has been and left the station The green eyed man he fights to get on board ‘Coz he don’t care about your situation The only care he has you can’t afford There’s no quiet in the hum of the city So in the city, we will rise CHORUS There’s no quiet in the hum of the city So in the city, we will rise Take me down to the deep black water I’ll be there I will be your daughter Take me down to the deep black water now Oh I will stand, you give the order We will march till we break the border Take me down to the deep black water now CHORUS
