Alex The Astronaut shares new track 'I Like To Dance' today after its premiere last night on Triple J's 'Goodnights' segment.
The song tells the story of an unnamed, hypothetical woman who experiences violence at the hands of her partner.
This song isn't Alex's story: she wrote the song after a social encounter with a magistrate, who told Alex that he saw a devastating amount of cases of domestic violence each week. Alex spoke to her friends and realised how many of them had experienced domestic violence themselves.
If you have experienced domestic violence please contact 1800 RESPECT https://www.1800respect.org.au (the domestic violence hotline for Australia).
