This song is the title track from album Divine Affliction.These two terms, divine and affliction describe my experience with the intersectionality of gender and music production. Divine is how I feel when I’m in when I’m writing music and in my creative realm. Divinity is the state of things that are believed to come from God or a creator (Wikipedia. N.d.). I attribute creator to music producer and through creating this project I am establishing my feminine subjectivity within my creative practice and reaching my state of divinity. The term divine I attribute to feminine aesthetics of music production. The affliction is with my femininity and the masculine culture of music production. Affliction defines the representation of female producers in music production, and the barriers to accessing the field and alterity issues this brings for females.
The lyrics of the song ‘Divine Affliction’ are an in-your-face statement of the afflicting emotions I face with being a female, expressing my animosity towards the historical suppression and oppression of our sexuality. A song calling out for equality and liberation, based on feminism, communicating the strength in empowering the divine feminine sexuality.
lyrics
My sexuality induces the afflictions within
My sexuality illuminates the divine not sin
My sexuality induces the afflictions within
My sexuality my sexuality my sexuality
My sexuality illuminates the divine not sin
My sexuality induces the afflictions within
My sexuality my sexuality my sexuality
My sexuality illuminates the divine not sin…
Divine Affliction, Female restriction
Divine Affliction, Total contradiction
Divine Affliction, Slave to the system
Divine Affliction, Built on his conditions
Divine Affliction, Female infliction
Divine Affliction, Powerful intuition
Divine Affliction, Empower conviction
Divine Affliction, Risin’ is our mission…
Her articulation, Mothers frustration
Shamed for menstruation, Not just for penetration
Divine carnation, We are the formation
Of human foundation, Historical duration
Suppression now cessation
Callin out for equal participation
Her liberation, No hesitation
Her liberation, No hesitation…
My sexuality induces the afflictions within
My sexuality my sexuality my sexuality
My sexuality illuminates the divine not sin
My sexuality induces the afflictions within
My sexuality my sexuality my sexuality
My sexuality illuminates the divine not sin…
