Grace Petrie is a singer-songwriter with deep folk roots. Her songs have a strong left-wing and gay-rights flavour. Her voice is soapbox clear and her guitar work is protest tuned, but it’s her lyrics that seize a listener’s attention. Here’s a song about the music industry. About the record labels and the promoters who exploit artists for their own gain, and about how it feels to be a defiant independent musician, resisting those commercial pressures to preserve your artistic integrity.
With an irrepressible Grace on the side of socialism, this is a fight that Hackneyed capitalism can’t win.
Musicaly to me it’s got a ring to Amy Maconald. Ethicaly it’s a young persons dream of a world not achievable in an overpopulated society as we got it, let’s face it around our globe. I admit, I do like to dream as well…

Yes, very much like Amy Macdonald. But with a little more edge, I think.
And dreams, no matter how unrealistic, are what keep us all motivated and moving in the right direction, don’t you think?
