Music Monday: Cut ~ Plumb

I have never heard of this singer but Plumb’s words just touched my deep inside. Have never been cutting myself. My souls chose the more subtle way of biting the inside of my mouth which is hard to detect. But it does not hurt less…….

Music Monday: Luka ~ Suzanne Vega

Today’s Song about abuse is Suzanne Vega’s Luka.

I always loved the song. It has a easy going melody which is such  a contrast to what it is about. Most of the lyrics always spoke to me even when my English was not as good. It shows so much about the way how abused children and teenagers try to hide what is really going on their lives. It hurts one way to hear it said in a song but it is also a relieve to realise that there is a pattern and you are not alone.

I think it is one of the best.

Music Monday: “Breaking the silence” Janis Ian

I found this really strong song about breaking the silence about abuse.

The song shows many sentence that just express how it is to break the silence and also the reality of abuse like ”come into my solitude” or “Fathers who are lovers to the daughters that they own”.

This last one struck me especially as that is exactly how my father treated me: he owned me ~ I was just a gadget for him ready to use when ever he pleased. It is striking how simple Janis Ian puts those realities!

Music Monday

I always found this song empowering even though I do not live all the ideas in this song. But make up your own mind:

This song is on Bootylicious from Destinys Child (MP3 Version on Amazon)

Have a happy and healing 2012….

and “…come on show ‘em what you’re worth…”!!!!!!!
