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.

It's another Hal Wilner production too, which means textural elegance and arpeggiated guitars in ambiguous keys, where minor and major shifts betoken the glamour of being her as much as signal mood. It's tragic, of course, and wistfully languorous. Songs are by Goffin/King, Jackie Lomax and Dulli/Lanegan, as well as La Dame herself. Her voice hangs inertly among racks of lustrous guitars like a worn shirt.
