“Won’t Be Satisfied” is a stirring and harmonious cry to protect our earth. Hartman recorded and co-produced the song (and Ready Reckoner as a whole) alongside Shahzad Ismaily, with mixing from Tucker Martine.

“‘Won’t Be Satisfied’ was written a few hours before I performed it in a benefit show for Earthjustice,” Hartman says. “It is a song of dissatisfaction, a rallying to protect our home and each other. Here is a hope of mine, that we may embody these words throughout our work in the world, whatever that may be:

we will not be a tree that bears no fruit

and we will not be fruit that is bitter in its taste.”

Ready Reckoner is out June 14. Listen to “Won’t be Satisfied” below.
