The Passion of the Métisse song "My Fault"

With the condition of the global economy today, this intensely emotional musical story about Domestic Violence is more relevant than ever before. Like any great narrative, it has a beginning, character detail, climax and ending.
Skully’s passionate piano melody leads in while shadowy images are formed in your mind from Aïda’s gently expressive multi-dimensional vocals which are emphasized by a sympathetic cello.
You begin to feel her “cycle of pain”: the stabbing in your heart from the betrayal; the burning sensation in your throat and lungs from the pain of fear; the tightness in your chest from crying so hard it makes you cry even more from the pain of it. Each of these agonies bind together as you feel like you could explode.
And indeed, the crescendo climax of the lamenting Hammond organ, throbbing percussion, sorrowful strings & swirling synthesized sound effects clearly depict the act of the abuse.
“Objects collide in a Tunnel of light.” As a tapping sound first in one ear and then the other...back and forth thrust you into the kaleidoscope realm while your head tosses your thoughts and you cannot grasp reality.
“The fights that I fear.” “and I'm trying not to scream...and my voice it disappears.” “Cause this is “My Fault’, And you’ve TOLD me once before.” Aïda actually does begin to lose her voice by the second refrain...struggling over the lump forming in her throat to maintain her beautiful vocals.
The heart-wrenching tale fades with a sympathetic piano and gloomy Cello.
I challenge you to read the lyrics as you listen to this song; without producing tears.


You really need to go to the Métisse Blog and read the story of how this opus was formed.
