Tori On 'Unrepentant Geraldines'
Unrepentant Geraldines That's the Irish connection again I mean Ireland has this crazy pull for me Something happens I don't even have to go there I can be traveling the worlds and I can just, I don't know get called, get called back by the mythology The mythology does something to me I think you feel it in 'Wedding Day' it shows itself through the record It's very much the driving force behind Unrepentant Geraldines because I started writing the song there in one day and then I was there for several days and the song started to shift a bit once I began really seeing that it wasn't just about one person called Geraldine It was that any woman can be this person who has to stand by what she believes in at a certain point And I was thinking about her story and my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law's older sister, who, believe it or not, when you're talking to teenagers about how fortunate they are it's... they'll look at you and say 'Well, things are really tough for us out there' and they are tough for them in some ways but Tash, my thirteen year-old, was having to hear how women had -these women are still alive- didn't have the opportunity she did or did for a moment and then they were snatched away And her great aunt was telling her she built radios and planes in World War II Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com and went up in the planes without having to be a wife, without having to be a mother And of course those GI's were roaming around and nobody was talking out of school about what all that was about And of course when the war ended then these judgements started to happen for the women and they had to go back to the kitchen And at the time, that wasn't a place of having your own T.V. show and cooking and being on the cooking channel and all that It was being relegated to you don't get to choose what you want to do This is what you do This is your place And so, some women had to be very apologetic for some of the things that they were doing in the war, the relationships they had, the passions they had, some people had children then some of those children were taken in by the soldiers that were coming back to save face because it was shameful And so when Tash was hearing these stories from her mother-in-law and her aunt what it was like, not that that was their personal story but what it was like, you begin to see how these women they're alive and they're telling me that the world was so different for women So different that I started to think about being unrepentant And turning fifty is a time when, although there might be regrets in your life, how you handled things, there's a certain time with your work and as an artist where you have to stand firmly where you stand, no excuses and truly be unrepentant and unapologetic as a creative force
