Maddie Morris is an artist who strives to make a difference in the world. Bold, insightful and refreshingly unique, she takes traditional song in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues, offering new perspectives about the world we live in today. After graduating with a first-class honours degree from Leeds Conservatoire, Maddie soon made waves by winning the 2019 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award, as well as landing a grant from the Alan Surtees Trust. From these firm foundations, her career has gone from strength to strength, with recent performances including Cropredy and Cambridge Folk Festival.
Maddie Morris & George Sansome - Without Pity Live Session
Directed, shot and edited by GOOD BOY!
Without Shame was written as part of a project funded and supported by Mind the Gap, Unlimited, The Colabroative Touring network and Touretteshero.
The Tune was inspired by a version of Barbra Allen Collected in Bradford by Frank Kidson, performed by Annie Noble, this was accessed via the Vaughn Williams Memorial Archive.
The song was written inspired by conversations and workshops that I was able to facilitate as part of the commission. Thank you so much to all the wonderful queer disabled folk who took part in this project, who shared their stories with me.
Audio Content warnings: shame, homophobia, religion, rejection

Lyrics:
I wonder where it is I belong,
My feet firmly grounded here,
The world outside this life of mine,
I’ve taught myself not to hear.
I dream of a space where I belong,
Where people look like me,
but it’s for tolerance that I hope,
far gone the hope they’d agree.
And oh,
I feel small,
The origin I can’t recall,
Of when every day became a stonewall
I pray for a family that understands,
The way this life is wired,
My brain to busy my body wrong
Always somehow undesired
My community I feel wont want me
Though they’ll try to play along,
whether I’m here, or I’m there,
I know something about me feels wrong.
And oh,
I feel small,
The origin I can’t recall, oh,
Of when every day became a stonewall
Bridge:
Have you ever imagined how it feels to exist like me?
Have you ever imagined how it feels to sense a shame that isn’t spoken, but always seen
Have you ever imagined how it feels to be looked at with it?
But oh, this life is joy.
This mind is joy,
Perhaps rebellion is joy.
I long stand here as I am and feel as if I’m enough.
I long for the strangers that I meet to recognise my love.
I long for space with community I long to feel the same.
But more than anything I wish I could be seen without shame
Yes more than anything I wish I could be seen without shame.

Wee Weever

livetoyourlivingroom.com/events/maddie-morris/ The first time I heard the Wee Weever was in a very busy folk club and I miss heard the name Willy as Lilly, I remember absolutely buzzing at this beautiful love song about two women, and was a little gutted coming home later and realizing my error! However, since then I've decided to keep it with my original interpretation, for all the other folk ...

Hey!! thank you so much!! this video is form ages ago, you commenting on it reminded me it was here!!
Gladto see the lyrics here. Thank you.
I'm a huge sandy denny fan, this is a wonderful comparison for you to make! thanks so much!!
Oh God I miss the tongue of mine The speech, the words, soft sipping wine Now a story of the past, days of more than overcast And oh The wind feels soft beneath the set of feathered wings But I can't change the world if all that I can do is Sing Sing When historians talk about me they talk of etymology Of Tereus's anger and bruises forming underneath his fingers Aren't what taunt me The melodies that won't remain unsung What keeps me up is his tongue The lover of song The lover of truth The anger inside me I'm not even a chapter in the book A footnote is my memory A page or two of the worst things th The darkest of days are not hyperboles But what is a bird without her song? And what is a woman without her tongue? And who is the king without violence or threat? And the fear that you are next
Thank you so much for sharing these, I really appreciate it!!
Well done Maddie xx

I hear waves of Sandy Denny echoed here, and that can only be good, because it means Maddie's been listening to a really broad range of artists.
Absolutely brilliant! Not had a song grip me and force me to listen the way this one just did for quite some time. Wonderful voice enhances things even further by breathing emotion into each and every word sung. Thank you for posting this up for others to enjoy!
