Thread Name: Origin: When every woman ... (Nairobi Peace Song)
Subject: RE: Who wrote it? When every woman...
Yes, all I found on my search was the Women in Black. Thanks, Joe!
Fingerbuster, I completely understand how you feel. I always introduce this song with the disclaimer that we love men, we really do, and we hope men will join in the sentiment even if they're not overtly mentioned. Still, Animaterra is a women's chorus, and the song makes a powerful statement for us as mothers, wives, daughters- those who historically stayed home and watched the men kill themselves and suffered the consequences.
