about

In December 2021, Kathryn was invited by the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival (SMHAF) to record a cover of A Way From Rage by the late Beldina Odenyo Onassis, aka Heir of the Cursed.

Beldina's original version was recorded in 2019 for the Mental Health Foundation's 70th anniversary. You can listen to it here: heirofthecursed.bandcamp.com/track/a-way-from-rage

This new version is dedicated to Beldina's memory. Proceeds will go to the Mental Health Foundation to support artistic projects that address mental health.

“Beldina was one of the most beautiful and amazing humans I have ever known. Her songs are the most beauty of all and it’s a total privilege for me to get to sing one of them. The words that she left us are important and I hope will help others. She was the kindest, most supporting, beautiful champion of others always and our hearts are broken that she is gone. She was our goddess. And always will be.” - Kathryn Joseph

The song is accompanied by a short film directed by Adura Onashile and Laura Cameron-Lewis, also commissioned by the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival and shot on the Isle of Lewis in April 2022.

lyrics

Take time to tend
Before the rot sets in
Before the root and stem fall to ruin
And don't pretend that all is forgiven
I know you're putting the work in
And you're asking the questions

Does it hold you?
Does it feed you?
In this moment
Is it enough?
You are enough
Does it call you?
Calm and course you?
In this moment
Is it enough?
You are enough
A way from rage
A way from pain
A way from aches
And all remains

Gather your friends
The ones you've forgotten
Every one of them
Is a day to court
And take time to tend
Before the rot sets in
Before the root and stem
Fall to ruin

Does it hold you?
Does it feed you?
In this moment
Is it enough?
You are enough
Does it call you?
Calm and course you?
In this moment
Is it enough?
You are enough
A way from rage
A way from pain
A way from aches
And all remains
