Musician Sarah Fard watched the Iranian women's movement unfold and wondered what it would be like if her family had never left Iran.
This is an exclusive song premiere, part of WBUR's effort to highlight New England musicians.
For Fard, the uprising was both personal and distant. The Iranian side of her family, her father’s, came to the United States after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. They never returned. “I am Iranian, but sometimes I feel like I’m not Iranian enough because I can’t speak the language,” said Fard, who grew up in New Hampshire and now lives in Boston.
The lyrics are rooted in her belief that the powerful often act out of fear. “I know I'm oversimplifying it, but it feels to me, throughout history, that people try to control other people because they have fear of people that are different from them,” Fard said. “They have fear of relinquishing their power.”
