Mika, the voice behind Barking Justice Music, shares the intent, emotion, and stories that inspired each anthem. It is not just music. It is a call to remember, reflect, and rise.

Whether you lived it, felt it, or feared it, this is our moment to reckon with the silence and ignite a revival.

Track-by-Track Introduction & Meaning:

Track 1: The Silence We Keep - A Reckoning of 2024 This track opens the album with somber resolve. It examines the quiet complicity of ordinary citizens in the wake of political regression. The silence we kept—out of fear, fatigue, or indifference—echoes louder than we thought. This is our reckoning.

Track 2: We Were Left Behind - From the Eyes of a Child Told through the imagined voice of a child, this track is a haunting meditation on innocence abandoned. It confronts the failures of leadership and the societal damage inflicted on younger generations during a time of chaos. Raw and intimate.

Track 3: All For the Taking This driving anthem exposes the greed and systemic rot that allowed democracy to be auctioned off. Corporate influence, billionaire control, and political apathy collide in a protest song that refuses to flinch. It's a declaration that we see it all.

Track 4: Rising Fire A call to action pulsing with urgency, this track channels the spirit of resistance. It is both a warning and a battle cry. As the fire rises, so must we—with courage, unity, and an unshakable belief in justice.

Track 5: Beyond Ourselves The closing track lifts us into a hopeful and determined vision for what comes next. It's a reminder that change is possible, but only if we move beyond apathy, beyond despair, and beyond ourselves.

Listen now. Remember the moment. Join the movement.
