Dancing In Iran
January 2026. While the streets in Iran were filled with protestors who had had more than enough of the Islamic Republic, Phil and I were safely here, wondering how to breathe a bit more life into ‘Box’.
Watching the terrifying response of the IRGC murdering thousands upon thousands of Iranians, young and old, and seeing the near-indifference of the mainstream media and the western world to all this was a deeply shocking start to the year. At the time of writing this – late February – the protests are still happening, but the news has gone even quieter. The Iranians are saying: “Don’t forget about us! We are here, and fighting!”
Well I’m not forgetting, and if this song just reminds one person about what is happening and what is at stake, then that is a good thing by me.
