Wow, keep remembering great songs. Gonna stick with the lovely ladies today.
Natalie Merchant: Carnival
One of the most iconic vocalists of our time, Natalie expresses our sad reality: everyone is so fake. Life and love... our culture has put up a brilliant facade, and we've all been taken by the smoke and mirrors. We've been blind.
Alanis Morissette: Princes Familiar
I know, I know. You're probably wondering why I'm listening to songs like these. But this one's good, and its a message that seems to be lost in our society. Fathers are the most important presence in the lives of their daughters. Girls need to grow up with the expectation of being treated with love and respect. How will girls even know what to look for if they don't see it first in their father?
Sarah McLachlan: Building a Mystery
Everyone has insecurities and fears. Everyone is searching for something real. But we don't like to admit it. In this song, Sarah looks at someone she loves, and pulls all the BS away from him. She removes the suit of armor, revealing the perfect, mysterious quiet desperation below.
