Chan- King of Swords

This is Chan Marshall, she’s my favourite artist of all time. She is an Aquarius Sun and an inspiring example of the power of the people, and the mind.

As Cat Power, Chan provides her audience with some of the most intimate writing about the effects of trauma on a person's mental health. By sharing her lived experience so generously, her words soothe those that are privately struggling with their own wounds, all the while inviting us to come together when we are ready, and reminding us that there is power in numbers.

Upright, the KING OF SWORDS could be:

"The Doctor said I was better than ever. Man, you shoulda seen me.
The Doctor said I was not my past.
He said I was finally free."

From Woman, on the 2018 album Wanderer

Reversed, the KING OF SWORDS could be:

"Anyone can tell you there's no more road to ride.
Everyone will tell you there's no place to hide.
There's no laws or rules to unchain your life, but the ones who didn't make it? The ones who couldn't take it?
So glad they made it out alive."

From Hate, on the 2006 album The Greatest

Her activism is tireless. She tells the truth for all of our sakes, using her platform and magnificent brain to spread the message of equality and justice for all. Long live the King.
