Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Certainly, Tess is a soul in flight from the horrors of the peopled world. This is not so much fugitive music as music expressing a desire to get away, in a style that allows Tess to conceive that the late Nick Drake might be accompanying his heavy tread. "Why keep me standing here/ Alone and afraid," he wails at the start, and then stays in the groove. Rich string arrangements by producer Howard Gott keep the listening ear engaged.
