about

This song represents every woman who was convinced to say yes, felt too unsafe to say no, was gaslit by medical professionals about their menstrual pain, had their body autonomy rights removed, and for every woman who was ever asked ‘what were you wearing’.

More often than not, women are publicly shamed and held responsible for the crimes of violence held against them at the hand of men. Where the media, and uneducated society use language as a final act of incrimination against women.

Scream the song with your sisters, daughters and mothers, whilst teaching the men in your life to read between the lines.

In the video, I pay homage to an exhibition titled ‘What were you wearing’ that first occurred at University of Kansas. The art project was created in 2013 by Jen Brockman, the director of KU’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center, and Dr. Mary A. Wyandt-Hiebert, who oversees all programming initiatives at the University of Arkansas’ rape education center.

All proceeds of physical downloads of Hush Hush via iTunes/Bandcamp etc. will be donated to Rape Crisis England & Wales.

lyrics

I tell you I’m in pain
But hush little girl now you’re speaking out
We won’t believe any word you shout

Convince me I’m to blame
Destroy any hope fill me with doubt
Put a bow round the bomb watch me black out

It’s all because of you
That I don’t walk alone at night
Tape over my mouth and pray I don’t scream
Please little girl it’s all just a dream
Hush hush be a good girl

Let’s be honest
Don’t be modest
Do I scare you
When I stare at you

Now you know what it’s like under my skin
Will you put pressure on her to give in
Time to let me blow

It’s all because of you
That I don’t walk alone at night
Tape over my mouth and pray I don’t scream
Please little girl it’s all just a dream
Hush hush be a good

Wanna hear a secret
Do you think you can keep it
Cos I don’t like the way you hide at night

And I

It’s all because of you
That I don’t walk alone at night
Tape over my mouth and pray I don’t scream
Please little girl it’s all just a dream
Hush hush be a good

Let’s be honest
Don’t be modest
Hush hush be a good girl
Do I scare you
Hush hush be a good girl
