Woman On The Tier (I'll See You Through) (wav, 660Kb),
is also available. For other clips, be sure to check out the Audio Clips section on the main page.
About the song, Suzanne writes:
"It's for a movie called "Dead Man Walking", directed by Tim Robbins.
The music is very aggressive -- like "Blood Makes Noise" but even harder.
It's a from a book written by a nun who becomes a spiritual advisor to a
killer on Death Row.
"It came out in January.
"It's a very "industrial" track -- like "Blood Makes Noise" but more so.
"The song is from the book "Dead Man Walking" written by Sister Helen
Prejean.
I wrote it from the point of view of the nun (played by Susan Sarandon) who
befriends a killer on Death Row (Sean Penn). The song is called "Woman on
the Tier" and takes place at the point where she comes to the jail to visit
him for the first time. I'm happy with the lyrics."

about the political abuses of children. The foreword, to "Childhood Stolen"
is now on this website, as are selected links to Amnesty International Websites
The July '95 "Details" Magazine contains a piece by Suzanne, called
"Fighting". You can read the heavily edited version that appeared in "Details" - Fighting (Details Magazine, July, 1995).

unadulterated version will appear on this website - getting it posted is in the works.
Suzanne sang last summer on a score written by Philip Glass, for a movie
called "Jenipapo", directed by Brazilian director Monique Gardenberg. The
lyrics were written by a Brazilian poet. There is no soundtrack at this time, and the film is being shown at
film festivals in North America.
