A music video that could have been shot in the United States today, but was filmed in 2018 in Istanbul.
Scenes of aggressive policing and implied violent demonstrations...fascism afoot.

Turkish blues - a painful love song
Bir Yaralı Kuştum
Song by Gaye Su Akyol ‧ 2018
Keder, feza üstüne
Yayılır elem içimden gökyüzüne
Onu benden çok sevmiş
Paramparça bir hikâye
Ömür ömür üstüne
Yaralar sirayet etmiş her yerime
İzini kaybettim artık
Yarım kaldı bu hikâye
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
Acın içimde bıçak
Kesiyor damarlarımdan eski ben'i
Yakalandım sevda çölüne
Su ver yangınıma, heyhat!
Yıkın bu şehri yıkın
Sokağı, sevdamı, hatıramı yıkın
Geceler saklar sırlarımı
Bitmiyor bu yangın
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
I Was a Wounded Bird
Song by Gaye Su Akyol ‧ 2018
Sorrow upon sorrow
Anguish spreads from within me up to the sky
He loved her more than he loved me
A story shattered into pieces
A lifetime upon a lifetime
Wounds have spread and seeped into every part of me
I have lost his trail now
This story remains unfinished
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you
Your pain is a knife inside me
Severing the "old me" from my very veins
I have been ensnared in the desert of love
Give water to my burning soul—alas!
Tear down this city, tear it down
Tear down the streets, my love, my memories
The nights keep my secrets hidden
This fire never ends
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you
