Track: Gemma Rogers Releases Charity Single 'Words Fail' With Proceeds Going To Palestine Charity HEAL

It’s really not like Gemma Rogers to be lost for words. Her chipper currency is her poetic patois – it’s her raison d’etre.

I think they call it “news anxiety” – that feeling of powerlessness and anxiety in response to the constant bombardment of negative news.

What can Gemma do? What can you do?

Shocked and devastated by global events and the lack of humanity in our world leaders, Gemma fought her feelings of futility and wrote a song. Rogers releases the Bandcamp exclusive single Words Fail on March 21st, 2025.

The genocide in Gaza (yes it is a genocide) has become woeful wallpaper covering the cracks in our daily newsfeed. It gets in the way. Before we find the remote and switch to the latest Netflix drama. As Arthur Lee once sang, “the news today will become the movies of tomorrow”.

Meanwhile, the chaotic Orwellian new world continues to favour the few whilst destroying the lives of the many. Some sip the kool-aid and succumb to the (anti) social media Stockholm syndrome but we can still make a difference. Time we all got mad as hell. We really don’t have to take this anymore. An old Tory once said “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”.

Words Fail is a call to arms… a plea for loving arms, to wrap around the world and lift us up and out of this madness. As Gemma sings, “All the world is falling down – they don’t care!”.

We care though, don’t we?

Head for Gemma’s bandcamp site and make your protest productive. It’s a Bono-free, safe space so please be charitable. As Gemma says, “People remain, art remains and songs remain…”. All proceeds from Words Fail go to the HEAL Palestine charity. It’s a pay what you can deal.
