I went back through some old music of mine, and I remembered Allison Crowe. ( Not Sheryl)
She is amazing. I really wish she would come to Oz.
She has a Song called Skeletons and Spirits which I think is very much a Anti Bully/ Stand up for yourself song, and I think it covers where I want my headspace to be right now.
You can find the full Lyrics here
Some Choice lines I like are
I’ll eat your words
I’ll devour your soul
I will laugh like a lemur
as you crawl back into your hole
…you think you’re unique but I’ve seen you before
you can keep on striking
but you can’t keep me down..
If your after some new music, I think she is awesome, there are full mp3’s on her site, with lyrics and news, and if your’re lucky a tour near you.
I think you’re quite right about the affirmation of Skeletons and Spirits and it’s anti-bullying message. The mp3 link is @ http://www.allisoncrowe.com/02TLBSkeletonsandSpirits.mp3
Another song with a message about standing up when it can be so hard is Scared – http://www.allisoncrowe.com/Scared128.mp3
I’m not afraid and I am not worthless no
I am not wrong
No I am not
I am not ashamed of this
I am taking you on
And I am not scared of you
I serve as manager to Allison, and I know she wants to, and WILL come to Oz. Thing is, she’s so independent (no corporate or government funding) that it’s one step at a time. We’re getting closer all the time, though, and it’s for sure that Australia is on her tour map! Thanks for your patience ( :
cheers, Ad
