Better Things
2008
In This Earthly Spell e poi in Threshold

I wrote this for the "Bin The Bomb" campaign in protest at the UK Government's decision to re-commission the Trident generation of nuclear weapons. I just think maybe there are a few imaginative and constructive ways to spend £30 billion or so that don't involve weapons of mass destruction.

Lyrics and Music by Karine Polwart
Album: Scribbled in Chalk

For Jane Haining.

Originally from Dunscore in South West Scotland, Jane worked in a Paisley thread mill before finding her "life's work", as she described it, as a missionary to a Budapest orphanage during the 1930s. During the Nazi occupation, she chose to remain in Hungary and was later arrested on charge of espionage for crimes that included weeping whilst she sewed the mandatory Star of David onto the children's clothes. She was transported to Auschwitz, where she died in 1944 at the age of 47. In 1997, Jane was recognised as one of the "Righteous Among The Nations" for her services to the Jewish people. With thanks to Billy Kay for telling me to find out more.
