Kathy Nelson, a Longmont resident originally from Indiana,wrote the lyrics and music for this incredible song(!), and generously sent it to us, so we are happy to share it here. Rousing, inspiring, beautifully written — we think it just might be our adopted anthem! GREAT LINES throughout! I asked Kathy to give us some background:
“A little bit about me. I’m 72, from IN, been living in Longmont for 20 years. I’ve been a musician since the age of 6 and I’ve been songwriting, off and on, for about 40 years. The song We Aren’t Going Back was written in 2024, inspired by Kamala Harris campaign…Now that we are becoming a shit hole country I’m hoping the song will inspire more people to vote in the midterms to turn things around. I also made the imovie for it.”
We Aren’t Going Back — Music & Lyrics by Kathy Nelson, 2024
They thought they could abort our rights Break our laws in dead of night They thought we’d fall without a fight But they forgot some facts
We’ve fought too hard for freedom’s found Grown too much to be put down We’ve come too far to turn around And we aren’t going back
No, we won’t be hijacked By greedy phony fat cats We’ve been there and we’ve done that And we, we aren’t going back
So come make calls, and spread some hope
Come make waves and rock some boats
And when it comes time to vote
Come watch the ceiling crack
Cause when we fight we win
There’s more of us than them
So let the rally cry begin
We aren’t going back
No we won’t be hijacked By greedy phony fat cats Cause have visions to unpack And we, we aren’t going back
Cause when we fight we win There’s more of us than them So let the rally cry begin We Aren’t Going Back
