Adia Victoria's statement about "South Gotta Change": "During this lapse we lost Congressman John Lewis. In the days following his death I pondered the work he accomplished and the work left to us who remain.
‘South Gotta Change’ is a prayer, an affirmation, and a battle cry all at once. It is a promise to engage in the kind of ‘good trouble’ John Lewis understood necessary to form a more perfect union."

Townshend wanted to input the vital signs and personality of his guru Meher Baba into a synthesiser, which would then generate music based on that data. When this idea fell through, Townshend instead recorded a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ using its marimba repeat feature as the backing track. This modal approach was inspired by the work of minimalist composer Terry Riley, hence the name "Baba O'Riley." When the band performed this live, Roger Daltrey played the studio violin part on harmonica.
'By Any Means' addresses "the history of lies, pain and death that have led to this [Black Lives Matter] moment, while embracing the strength found within the movement." bit.ly
