Giorno Giovanna 3,178 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 enjoy, but beware, it might not be your type of music, it's a weird song and different from classic Crystal Castles https://soundcloud.com/aliceglasss/stillbirth "Years ago I began the process of trying to remove myself from an abusive relationship that started when I was a teenager. Over the course of that relationship I was systematically cut off from anyone and everyone that I could truly be close to. I was talked down to, yelled at, locked into rooms and criticized daily about my abilities, my weight, my looks, my intelligence and almost every move I made. When I couldn’t take it anymore and I wanted to end the relationship I was threatened, then I was told I was loved, and the cycle would begin again. I want young women and young men to understand that this kind of treatment of others can happen where it might be least expected. Even in environments that thrive on creativity and open-mindedness, that advocate artistic and counter-culture ideals. Sometimes people will use these things to camouflage themselves so that their abuse might go unnoticed. So that you wouldn’t think to consider it could be happening right in front of you. The clarity I’ve gained since getting out of that situation has opened up my life in a way that I didn’t imagine was possible. Although some of the pain and anger still lingers, my life finally feels as though it has value and meaning. I speak out now hoping that I can encourage other young women and young men to affirm their value within their relationships or get out. Abuse isn’t always obvious and it doesn’t have to involve black eyes, blood and broken bones. Emotional and psychological abuse can be just as damaging, and it is extremely difficult to remove yourself from. Those that have known me throughout my career might be surprised that someone who publicly gave the impression of being fearless and seemed as though they didn’t take **** from anyone could find themselves being severely mistreated and manipulated by someone they were close to. This person nearly stripped me of myself. And for years I felt as though they were waiting for my life to end. Stillbirth was written by myself and Jupiter Keyes in our basement. There is no label involved. It will be available through iTunes, Spotify, etc. beginning July 18. All proceeds for digital purchases of this song will benefit organizations (like the nonprofit RAINN) that help survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence and incest. You can donate directly to them at https://donate.rainn.org or via the link on my website at http://www.alice-glass.com/ There is a sister song to Stillbirth that I hope to release soon, she is a lullaby and she can’t wait to meet you" このジョルノジョヴァンナ夢がある Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bette Davis 12,742 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm glad she's finding her happiness, peace and contributing to great causes, but I need to go cleanse my ears out with Suffocation and Celestica Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.

JazzGa 14,621 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Is she implying that her abuser was ethan? How often does the "male producer takes advantage of female singer" trope need to play out? Why does it happen so often? Is it because the producer feels resentful of the singer for getting the spotlight and takes it out on her through manipulation and psychological teardowns? ((Edit: After a more careful third read, I think her relationship with the person ended long ago, before CC's split. However, it is still worth discussing the power dynamic between a male dj/producer and female singer/frontwoman, probably in a separate topic)) On topic, I'm glad you posted this because I haven't heard it yet and I like it! It's harder/more rock influenced than CC's ethereal, twinkling sound. Reminds me of their older stuff. I would like to hear Alice play with her voice not drowned in 19274739201u3272 filters some day My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
