B-Town Warriors - 'My Generation'

Desert Pea Media is very proud to announce the fifth and final release from the B-Town Warriors for 2018 - 'My Generation'. This song was created in October via a 5 day Desert Pea Media storytelling workshop. Co-written by, and starring an incredibly talented group of young Indigenous people enrolled at Bourke High School - with support from DPM staff, local elders and community members. Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encouraged participants to analyze 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities. The B-Town Warriors were born out of a project in 2016 that resulted in a song and music video 'People of the Red Sunset'. The music video attracted an alarming level of support, hundreds of thousands of views, and was added to spot rotation on Triple J. The legend Dom Alessio from Home N Hosed then premiered their follow-up tracks - 'Dreams' and 'Thundercloud' in 2017. A partnership with the good people at The Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation has seen DPM deliver a total of five projects in Bourke in 2017, and this song is the grand finale. 'My Generation' is a call to arms. A call to country. In a context where mental health is at crisis point for young Indigenous Australians, and the pressures of living in two worlds are bigger than ever. With support from the elders of five nations, The B-Town Warriors are challenging ALL of us to participate in positive change. Walk the river. Connect. This song is an invitation born of warmth, respect and inclusion. The oldest culture on earth welcoming people to country with a sense of genuine calm and generosity. Desert Pea Media believes that the B-Town Warriors, and the community of Bourke are a stunning example of humanity. Let their stories uplift and inspire, and be a lesson for us all. This project featured the expert musical direction and production of acclaimed musician and and songwriter Carlo Santone (Blue King Brown, Nattali Rize) who has directed all B-Town Warriors productions. We thank you brother for you vision and hard work. Special thanks to Aunty Ellen Doolan and her partner Russell - to Andrew Ryder, Shirlee Rowland and Joan Dickson from Bourke High, and especially to the Nyaampa, Wonkamurra, Murrawarri and Paakantji people. Big love to all you mob, and thanks again for having us on country. Lyrics Calling on my generation Calling all my people, my relations Singing with the wind of four nations Songlines of the first creation We from the north to the south to east to the west Four winds,Four tribes one country what we represent  Bourke cousin, yep we showing respect  Ancestors, old people that we laid to rest  Massacre at Myall creak, living on wild meat  Corroboree at Innaminka, dancing in bare feet From the Mission in Bre, Started working at 13 Sun up to sun down, In 40 degress - For free  In 67 white man gave us the vote  Even though the same white man came here on a boat  What a joke! they even tried to take the lingo we spoke  But they didn’t know our spirt spinning in the gum leaf smoke  Learn my story and my song and my triddition from the past Sitting round the fire camp fire listening yarns keeping it real keepin it going from the start Story of my ancestors written in the stars My generation got addicted to the screen  forgot my connection got my dreaming from tv Its like we lost hope, swapped it for grog and dope Grife, loss and traumer like a slippery slop  Don’t forget what you are worth You gotta take pride in the place of ur birth Despite all the trouble and hurt You represent the oldest culture on earth  To keep it real you got to 1 - Take your time to listen to old people and 2 - Strengthen your mind  3 - you gotta walk along the rivers and creeks in bare feet, Coz the truth is in my country is me 4 this is something you can never ignore respect for your own self cuz that’s sacred lore So stay black with a Swagger and keep it in step Coz BT Dub on the mic and the futures looking better - yep We stick together ready set, we connected looking fresh while there’s breath in my chest then my culture’s never dead.
