I saw Suzane live yesterday and I’m still shaking.
Sharing the music video for “Je t’accuse” because this isn’t just a song. It’s an indictment.

Justice, est-ce qu'on doit
Te faire nous-mêmes?
Car je t'accuse
De fermer les yeux alors que t'as tout vu
Je t'accuse
Fais pas l'innocent, t'as rien fait quand t'as su
Je t'accuse
Main droite levée
Je t'accuse
Et j'assume, et j'assume
Pour toutes celles que la violence
A condamnées au silence
Je t'accuse
Pour celles qu'avaient prévenu
Mais que t'as jamais entendues
Je t'accuse
Pour celles qui prennent
La plus lourde des peines
Pour les victimes de ton système
Je t'accuse et j'assume.
Justice, must we Have to
Do it ourselves
Because I accuse you
Of closing your eyes
Even though you saw everything
I accuse you
Don't play innocent
You did nothing when you knew
I accuse you
Right hand raised
I accuse you
And I stand by it
For all those whom violence
Has sentenced to silence
I accuse you
For those who'd warned
But you never heard
I accuse you
For those who take
The heaviest sentence
For the victims of your system
I accuse you
And I stand by it.

Suzane is a French singer-songwriter who uses her voice to speak about violence against women and systemic injustice. I really wish she were more widely known.
