Song 10

This song is called Strange Fruit.

The sound of the song has the feeling of the early to mid 1920s. The song mentions strange fruit hanging from the trees with "blood on the leaves" in the south. It also mentions "burning flesh". My guess is that this song is referring to the time of a killing of an African American in the south (strange fruit), most likely by hanging or lynching (hanging from the trees). Without going on much further, I will say that this song absolutely disgusts me in how they view African Americans at the time.
