I’ve written a song that’s so simple it feels like it already should have existed. But here it is, not fancy, not produced, more suited for singing in the streets than on an album. It’s outraged. It’s clear. It’s motivated by love.
This song is being released directly into the public domain, so my purpose here is to share it, not to sell it. This is what it sounds like, just a little unmastered demo:
You can find the score for the very simple harmonies right here. You can also write your own, because this song is free to use, free to record, even free to sell. It’s in the public domain.
I got to perform this song with my friends Cate Ross and Kelsey Riker at the Alaska Folk Festival (just as my voice was starting to crackle and short out completely from a long week of singing). It brought out the passion in all of us, and it struck a chord with the audience, who were singing along by the end.
The world is very complicated, but some things are simple. I was raised to love my neighbor. I hope you were too.

The ultimate question is before us, but at least we have the answer. Join Marian Call for a birthday concert from her living room, as she celebrates turning at least 42 (again)* by playing whatever dang songs are in her heart.
Join the party on February 28th at 1pm Alaska time / 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern. If you can’t make it live, your ticket entitles you to view the show for the following 48 hours. Donors’ Circle members and paid Patreon backers can always join for free by contacting Marian.
*Just because Marian has been 42 for some time does not preclude celebrating being that age, at minimum, with stories and songs.

Alaska Proposition 2: Bound to Fail
My friend Josh Fortenbery and I have some strong feelings about billionaires throwing down millions in local elections.
We co-wrote this song to purge our feelings about $1.5 million getting dropped by one man to repeal Alaska’s open primaries, campaign contribution limits, and campaign finance transparency rules. We only know that he put that much money into our election BECAUSE of the transparency laws that Prop. 2 would repeal.
That face I make at the end? That’s me thinking about this nonsense.
Alaskans, vote No on Prop 2. Stick it to some billionaires. To everyone else: let’s look at what unaccountable, corrupt, greedy people want and tell them No.
You can see Josh’s version of our song here on Instagram. We invite covers and new versions of this song, just like Alaskan artists Ted, Alex Cruver, and the Pedal Boys have created! Chords and lyrics can be found here.
