Somo means "together we stand." Inspired by my Turkish friend Seda, this song pays tribute to the brave protestors of Gezi Park, Istanbul that stood united against police brutality. I've always loved African music so I chose an African marimba called Gyil to be the base for this song. My respect and love goes out to all the brothers and sisters out there fighting oppression against human rights. The special trombone lines are courtesy of Eriko Murakami.
lyrics
what you gonna do
when they come for you
what you gonna do
when they lie to you
what you gonna do
when they hide the truth
what you gonna do
when they try to hurt you
what you gonna do
when they try to kill you
what you gonna do
I'm gonna find a way
what you gonna do
i'm gonna save the day
what you gonna do
i'm not going away
what you gonna do
i'm here to stay
what you gonna do
i'm gonna fight for you
what you gonna do
get us through
what you gonna do
gonna stand with you
