Courtney Barnett rocks out with this simple direct political number.. wait, what? How is this political? Why is it even seen as political to demand safe streets or an end to gendered violence!!

I’ve meant to share this video for months because it’s a vital piece of musical poetry, but in the wake of Eurydice’s tragic murder* its power resonates deeply.

The song paraphrases Margaret Atwood:

Men are scared that women will laugh at them

Women are scared that men will kill them.

#RestinPower Eurydice

*alleged murder
