@@realnegajpeg9935 Ah, yes. Because I criticized someone for joking about adding a song about the murder of an innocent woman to a lofi/chill playlist, that means all jokes are forbidden. It's a shitty joke. God forbid I don't like comedy that pokes fun at very serious and sad topics.
The lyrics: Mary Turner, Mary Turner Mary Hattie Graham 19 years old and pregnant Hazel Turner, Hazel Turner Murdered by a lynch mob She declares his crime a crime And running for her life She is, she is captured, captured at Folsom Bridge Gasoline and motor oil smeared on her clothes She is hung up by her ankles from a tree A match is struck and she is set ablaze Mary Turner, Mary Turner while still burning Mary Turner, Mary Turner while still alive Split open with a knife Unborn Child falls from her womb From her womb onto the ground Looking up, looking up The first and only light it ever sees The flames, the flames of its mother's burning, burning Reaching out, reaching out The first and only loving touch it receives The falling ash of its mommy's hair on fire The baby, baby cried in the dirt Quieted, quieted by a boots heel Mother and child, mother and child 999 more bullets from the crowd Mary Turner, Mary Turner buried where they were murdered A cigar stuffed in a whisky jug, a whisky jug to mark the grave Fuck your guns, Fuck your wars Fuck your truck, Fuck your flag
The first Xiu Xiu song I listened to, what a brutal and jarring introduction. I Immediately fell in love with how these people refused to soften anything that happened to Mary, to show how evil humanity is. Much love Xiu Xiu
The sounds that I hear are disturbing. At the very beginning I think I hear a woman screaming Hazel. And that break where the squeaking sound comes in all I can imagine is the unborn child squirming and unknowing of what’s going on. VERY EFFECTIVE TO SAY THE LEAST
Omnizeitgeist fuck I haven't even noticed these and now the track has ascended to a whole new level of disturbing I really love the string break in the middle, I wouldn't neccessarily call if comforting if it was present in any other context but in this track it's like I get to take one breath in 4 minutes
This is wonderful. We SHOULD be made to feel uncomfortable by this. This sort of thing still happens, racially motivated or not, real evil is out there. We need to be reminded to love each other and protect our children while teaching them to love each other.
The closing lyrics are appropriate. Mary Turner's death occurred following WWI, when many black Americans who had fought in the war 1. got a taste of respect in France for the first time in their lives and 2. many Blacks and black leaders approved of the war because they thought it would allow Blacks to obtain respect upon return. On return to the U.S., when seeking respect, many Blacks faced lynch mobs and jails. Given the mass incarceration state today, another form of Jim Crow, the closing lyrics of the song are perfectly valid.
Matt Hoostal The closing lyrics gave the song more depth in my opinion. It’s like Jamie just gave one of the most messed up presentations in history and then turned to the listener and spoke to them directly.
This song made me feel a lot more upset than scared. I remembered reading about this case when I was younger and I was horrified that people could do something so awful to another human being. Even if it’s a band as popular as Xiu Xiu im glad that people remember her and other victims stories so we can learn from the past and move on.
The genius of this song and album as a whole is the amount of emotions and (terror) that it provokes in an even mockingly horrifying way using sounds most people arent used to hear normally, lt is truly a piece of art
And people think generations of blacks wont have ptsd from this shit. This was up close and personal and this guy put all of us at the lynching when he sang this song. Bro this is just of the few stories that got out. Its flat out terrifying what blacks went thru 60 to 70 years ago in the IRON CURTAIN SOUTH. They got their taste of isis before isis
Mary Turner is my Great Great Auntie. My mom always sat us down to tell us what happened to her, that sweet baby and my Great Great Uncle Hazel. Trust me, when their DNA runs through my blood I can feel the extreme pain and sadness from the evil that was done to my people. This song is powerful & I'm not sure how to absorb it. For anyone who takes this song and gets pleasure from the tears of my family will surely die a horrific death😊 Just like those that touched our sweet baby! Voodoo is Real! Don't think for 1 moment those that participated in their deaths went unnoticed. Now for those who send LOVE, LIGHT & RESPECT!!! My family & send it back💓
this reminds me of the song 'hamburger lady' tbh. only in the literal sense is it a song, it's more so a retelling of these events. the fact that this genuinely happened scares the utter shit out of me; and it's the same feeling i get with hamburger lady. to this day i cannot listen to hamburger lady, it just scares me to no end.
@@R-H-B its a song by throbbing gristle, its a song about a lady who gets badly burnt and is basically clinging onto life because of hospital equipment, she can't talk or eat on her own, she cant do anything on her own. shes just... always alive and in unimaginable world of pain. it's terrifying. the worst part is it's based on a true letter written by a doctor iirc
@@alyaamex oh fucking hell. I thought I’d heard some pretty scary songs and granted I’ve not heard Hamburger Lady but that sounds horrendous. I think the scariest songs I’ve heard are Please Don’t Leave Me by Uboa, Mary Turner (obviously), and a good chunk of songs from Sinner Get Ready. But man that’s sad. I hate that that’s something that I have to come to terms with if I do hear that song

@@Johnny-tz3ydThey've been in slavery in other countries. Slavery was extremely evil and inhumane, but all races including black people participated in it. I'm not saying that black people didn't have it worse, because they definitely did (in the states) but I still don't believe it should only be blamed on white people.
If this is the prelude, then Throbbing Gristle's "Hamburger Lady" feels like the consequence of this song. I believe Hamburger Lady was written about an especially gruesome burn victim...
Throbbing gristle is about a fictional person in a burnward written by a wartime doctor. It may not be a real person but description and horror is real.
This song is so traumatizing, I haven’t listened to a song so dark in my whole life. I am greatly saddened that this happened. And I’m never listening to this again.
I noticed that too lmao like they have American Football and Kero kero Bonito, like pretty mellow and chill artists for the most part and then there's this
"i'm never listening to this again" No, you're EXACTLY who needs to keep listening to it. Listen to it until you vomit, then keep listening. Forever. Nothing is different.

When I saw the movie Frank...I thought bands like this weren't really a thing or genre...turns out I was wrong. Lol. There are some truly bizarre bands out there. This one is definitely one of them.
This song reminds me a lot of hamburger lady by Throbbing Gristle which is also very horrifying to listen to. But honestly I feel like this song is just worse in shock factor.
This is the only thing I've ever heard that literally sounds like someone intentionally making an outtake from Scott Walker's The Drift. Like, if it was recorded at the sessions for that album, it would be omitted for being too dark and distressing.
This shouldn't exist. Not that it's bad or anything, but the event it's about makes it hard to tolerate. It's difficult to face what humanity really is (or at least how low it's capable of sinking). This is the most disturbing piece of music I have ever heard (and oh boy have I heard some shit) and it's largely due to the subject matter. Holy shit.

Or it was actually happening as they reenacted it while recording this song.
because it was actually happening
The lyrics:
Mary Turner, Mary Turner
Mary Hattie Graham
19 years old and pregnant
Hazel Turner, Hazel Turner
Murdered by a lynch mob
She declares his crime a crime
And running for her life
She is, she is captured, captured at Folsom Bridge
Gasoline and motor oil smeared on her clothes
She is hung up by her ankles from a tree
A match is struck and she is set ablaze
Mary Turner, Mary Turner while still burning
Mary Turner, Mary Turner while still alive
Split open with a knife
Unborn Child falls from her womb
From her womb onto the ground
Looking up, looking up
The first and only light it ever sees
The flames, the flames of its mother's burning, burning
Reaching out, reaching out
The first and only loving touch it receives
The falling ash of its mommy's hair on fire
The baby, baby cried in the dirt
Quieted, quieted by a boots heel
Mother and child, mother and child
999 more bullets from the crowd
Mary Turner, Mary Turner buried where they were murdered
A cigar stuffed in a whisky jug, a whisky jug to mark the grave
Fuck your guns, Fuck your wars
Fuck your truck, Fuck your flag

It's also a direct attack against the NRA, if you followed Xiu Xiu's Twitter where they first mentioned this story.
