Dead Milly - The Lioness (Frank Turner Cover)

Music & Lyrics: Frank Turner, https://frank-turner.com/ *The story behind this cover:* In March 2021, Frank Turner listed our Song Sister, Sister on his Artists To Watch 2021 playlist. We were so damn excited about it and wanted to shout out a huge THANK YOU FRANK! So we went to the studio and covered his song The Lioness. The song is a tribute to the Egyptian women's rights activist Huda Sha'arawi.
