So my last one is kinda of a hard one for me to post about.
It affects so many of us on so many different levels.
What started out as marriage counseling in early 2010, turned into three years of correcting shaming behaviors I didn't know I had (just thought I was doing the right man thing), that I didn't know were passed down to me by an alcoholic parent, yet I had to own 100% as my own and had to fix.
Luckily for me, I was very open to changing for the better, although the process was quite painful at times.
After going through that, I clearly see that the shaming behaviors we all have in us to some degree, really aren't being addressed as the root problems all of us face, even as we have lightly scratched the surface the last few years in correcting many really bad behaviors, mostly from men. But no one is really addressing why men have these behaviors and how best to correct them. Seems like we're just on another stop on the blame carousel.
So this song is dedicated to all the shaming tactics we all use that wind up breaking up relationships at every level. And all the different types of addictive behaviors that result from them. And more importantly to all of those that fight through them and do their best to correct them and get past bad relatioships.
I love the female voice when paired with rock and roll and all types of music. I was turned onto this alt artist three years ago by a friend, and I like a lot of her songs. Such a great voice, with tons of passion behind it.
Round 4 -
Adelaide by Meg Myers
An' I should pray for Adelaide
But she wouldn't win this fight
Black and blue dear Adelaide
So many scars to hide
Waving my hands
You don't break
You don't understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You're just that kind of man
Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go
An' I should pray for Adelaide
But she don't hear a gosh darn word that I say
Oh, I'm so ashamed of Adelaide
How do you justify every moment he takes
Waving my hands
You don't break
You don't understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You're just that kind of man
Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down, boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go
And I'm buried in the silence
My eyes are closed
Got me like a spider
Trapped in your
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
You can't hold me down, boy
Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go
An' I should pray for Adelaide
But she wouldn't win this fight
Black and blue, dear Adelaide
So many scars to hide
