Dear Human Race
An open letter to our speedy species - inviting us to SLOW DOWN.
“blown away… look forward to giving it multiple spins”
- Shiva Shankaran

Soaring vocals and harmonies over delicate guitar picking transport listeners into "immediate down-regulation".
I honestly wrote this song for myself! I'm habitually more of a Human Doing than a Human Being. Despite living off-grid in a woodland cabin for the past 3 years, I’ve still found myself speeding up…
When I was first bedbound with CFS, I called it “enforced surrender” - and today I can thank my long-suffering body for doing its best to teach me how to pace myself.
This habitual speeding is a strategy to avoid uncomfortable feelings. I can't help but perceive the state of our planet as a result of the current epidemic of speeding and disconnection.
What stops YOU from slowing down?INCOME FROM THIS SONG WILL BE DONATED TO MAYDAY SAXONVALE BUT VAISHNAVI BRASSEY IS NOT IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED WITH THIS PROJECT AND THIS SONG REPRESENTS HER VIEWS, NOT THEIRS.

“I love it! I sat at work with my headphones on – and just let the sound wash over me. Then I listened again properly to the words…”
Genevieve Tudor, BBC Radio Shropshire
"I could still feel the stress on the way here, I played your song and sang it with you. And I can feel how my body just went heavy and almost sleepy and it's just so lovely to feel this... like immediate down-regulation." Zita M
