\n\tFiona Apple<\/a> and the Bolt Cutters have covered Mother Earth\u2019s \u201cRevolution.\u201d The song is set to appear on the Dougie Bowne-produced Right Now, which will benefit Doctors Without Borders.<\/p>\n

\n\tTheir rendition of the 1968 protest song was shared on the Instagram of Zelda Hallman, Apple\u2019s roommate and best friend. The song was produced by the Bolt Cutters \u2014 Apple, Dav\u00edd Garza, Sebastian Steinberg, and Amy Aileen Wood, with each of their parts recorded remotely from locales including Los Angeles, Houston, and from the East Coast. \u201cAmy masterfully brought them together to capture this moment\u2019s energy,\u201d they said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe powerful song is an apt choice to cover now following this week\u2019s midterm elections results<\/a>, a blue tsunami<\/a> happily celebrated by many music fans.<\/a> \u201cThere\u2019s a new world a comin\u2019 near\/Singing loud and clear\/Revolution,\u201d Apple soulfully sings. \u201cFeel that rumblin\u2019 along the ground; It\u2019s a mighty sound\/Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the statement accompanying the post, which features a photo of the group as the song plays, Hallman shared in the caption, \u201cAmerica is changing. You can feel it. It has a pulse, and it\u2019s growing. This week\u2019s election gave us something we\u2019ve needed: hope for a more progressive, compassionate, inclusive, and just future. Tuesday was a victory, but only a beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post continued: \u201cBecause something is happening. All across the world, people are marching for justice, freedom, and peace. Dockworkers are refusing to lend their labor to weapons shipments. People are confronting ICE, demanding freedom for Palestine, and calling for an end to the bombing of Gaza. From Ukraine to Sudan, the Congo, Yemen, and Myanmar, civilians face war, hunger, and displacement.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are fighting for reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, health care, and equal protection \u2014 regardless of race, religion, gender, or immigration status. For due process instead of detention and deportation without a fair hearing,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cFor treaties with Indigenous peoples and Tribal Nations to be honored, and for justice for Native, Black, and LGBTQ+ communities. Especially for those deaths and disappearances of young people that remain unsolved and poorly explained.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn July, Apple, also via Hallman\u2019s Instagram, shared a video where she discussed the \u201cendless barrage of horrors<\/a>\u201d in the world today and her attempt to capture it in a song. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to focus, and when you do focus, I just keep second and third and 10th and millionth guessing myself, if I\u2019m the one to say it, or if I\u2019m saying it right,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cI just didn\u2019t want you to think that I was turning a blind eye or that I didn\u2019t see what was going on or that I didn\u2019t care. I fucking care.\u00a0I know not everybody\u2019s expecting something from me, but I\u2019m expecting something from me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mother Earth cover and accompanying post shared on Friday appears to have addressed some of the emotions Apple conveyed in July. \u201cOur tax dollars should be spent feeding children, not bombing them while the wealthiest pay nothing and take everything. Question who profits from war and the scramble for resources, from Greenland to the Congo, given our own history of taking Indigenous lands, water, and mineral rights,\u201d the post from Friday stated. \u201cThese aren\u2019t separate struggles. They\u2019re demands for dignity, freedom, justice, and love. Above all, we want peace. And we want it NOW!\u201d It ended with: \u201cEnjoy the music, share the hope, and let\u2019s keep the revolution going and growing.\u201d<\/p>\n
