Songs of Empowerment for Women
There are so many. Some are cheesy and some are cool. Some make men roll their eyes and some make them run for the hills.
So post your favorite videos here. Please also 'announce' the videos so the reader can decide if they want a listen or not. I'll start with a few standbys. 1) I Am Woman--Helen Reddy Oh yes, I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can do anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman 2) I'm Every Woman--Chaka Khan I can sense your needs Like rain on to the seeds I can make a rhyme Of confusion in your mind And when it comes down To some good old fashioned love That's what I've got plenty of 3) Miss Independent--Kelly Clarkson Miss Guarded-heart Miss Play-it-smart Miss If-you-wanna-use-that-line-you-better-not-start, no |

An oldie but goodie. This song could actually work for men too, with a minor title change and a pronoun here and there ...
Prince of Darkness - Indigo Girls My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark And I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark And I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark Don't know when I noticed life was life at my expense But the words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence My dreams came in like needy children, tugging at my knees I said, I have no way of feeding you, so leave ... Sigh. I can't figure out how to embed or link to the video from youtube. I don't have time right now; will try tonight.

ortho: you just go to the address bar when you have the video up, and copy everything AFTER the = sign (in this case: fY9-98kfvg). Then past it here, highlight it, then click on the youtube button. |

Sisters Are Doin' For Themselves--Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin
Now there was a time when we used to say that behind every great man there had to be a great woman But in these times of change you know that it's no longer true So we're comin' out of the kitchen 'cause there's something we forgot to say to you We say, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves" Standin' on their own two feet and ringin' on their own bells We say, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves" |

Is this okay? Perhaps not a good title.
Sweetheart On The Barricade - Richard Thompson & Danny Thompson They closed up the sooty gates of Ayres and Company We stood on the picket line, my Jennifer and me We blocked the street, now the lorries come and turn about There's nothing getting in there and there's nothing getting out Oh, she's just a tender thing She's risking life and limb My sweetheart's on the barricade My heart it skips a beat There'll be fighting in the street But hungry folk forget to be afraid My sweetheart's on the barricade And here come the managers to hit us on the sly And tinpot generals with glory in their eyes Owners, moaners, Judases and Janes But righteousness is in our eyes, we've got no time for games In her manner she is mild And fairly just a child My sweetheart's on the barricade For a fair wage in her hand The equal of a man She'll stand front rank in the parade My sweetheart's on the barricade She's running leaflets through the alley She's passing hymn books at the rally Halleluiah! Friends and neighbours, won't you join the cause Drill it in the tiny minds of them that make the laws That workers are human, we're really just the same We've got to have the nourishment to fill a human frame Oh, we're people not a mob And we only wants a job My sweetheart's on the barricade We've had it up to here Too numb to feel the fear My sweetheart's on the barricade My heart it skips a beat There'll be fighting in the street My sweetheart's on the barricade |
