| Anaïs Mitchell – Why We Build the Wall Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
This song was written in the 2000's for the music theater piece Hadestown, in which the character of Hades uses this song for indoctrination. Anaïs Mitchell wrote a nice piece for The Huffington Post in 2016, explaining the songs origins and noting its uncanny political relevance in anticipation of the 2016 US presidential election: "(...) America, too, has a choice coming up. I’ve taken to saying, when I play “Why We Build the Wall” now at my own shows: “This song is ten years old… Any resemblance of any contemporary political figures to the King of the Underworld is purely coincidental.” But we all know the Underworld Boss/King archetype when we see him. Let’s not elect him President." |
