Lyrics
show me what’s inside your toolbox
show off all your colorful tools
dig around, find the right one to use
which one to fix this blown fuse?
‘cause everything needs a little fixing and
everything could use a little tweaking and
I could try to change it on my own
but everything heals much better with more hope
your art is a hammer
your voice a nail, so
pick a falling building where your heart cries
then root down to rise up
cause everything needs a little fixing and
everything could use a little tweaking and
I could try to change it on my own
but everything heals much better with more hope
show me your strength
let me hear your sound
be the change you want to see around
everyone’s got the skills to share
but we all got separated somewhere
I dare you to splice our wires
use your ladder reach a little higher
cause everything needs a little fixing and
everything could use a little tweaking and
I could try to change it on my own
but everything heals much better with more hope
show me your strength
let me hear your sound
be the change you want to see around

Amidst the madness of 2020, when nothing is certain and we struggle to find hope for the future, we need artists like electro alt-pop songwriter/guitarist/producer Valerie Orth. She writes with a strong sense of self and a fierce feminist perspective, telling stories about alienated humanity and visions of a better tomorrow. Her new album, Rabbit Hole, due out Dec 4, couldn’t be more timely.
