Yep, another music thread.

Had thought of starting a thread for protest music, but most music is in protest of somethin' so I'll just start another good ol' music thread.

Lyrics
Coming a time, B.D. women ain't gon' need no men
Coming a time, B.D. womens ain't gon' to need no men
Oh, the way treat us is a lowdown and dirty sin
B.D. women, you sure can't understand
B.D. women, you sure can't understand
They got a head like a sweet angel and they walk just like a natural man
B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan
B.D. women, they all done learnt their plan
They can lay their jive just like a natural man
B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
B.D. women, B.D. women, you know they sure is rough
They all drink up plenty whiskey and they sure will strut their stuff
B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough
B.D. women, you know they work and make their dough
And when they get ready to spend it, they know they have to go

From Youtube: Miriam Makeba pronounces the alphabet in click sounds. Click consonants are frequent in her native Xhosa language, and she sings a song that uses them, 'Baxabene Oxamu.'

From Wikipedia: "Xhosa is spoken as a first language by approximately 8.2 million people and by another 11 million as a second language in South Africa. It has perhaps the heaviest functional load of click consonants in a Bantu language, with one count finding that 10% of basic vocabulary items contained a click." It's a written language that uses the Roman alphabet.

Hey, oh, hey, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm taking my freedom
Pulling it off the shelf
Putting it on my chain
Wear it around my neck
I'm taking my freedom
Putting it in my car
Wherever I choose to go
It will take me far
I'm livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden

Singing loud and strong
Grooving all day long
I'm taking my freedom
Putting it in my stroll
I'll be high-steppin' y'all
Letting the joy unfold

I'm holding on to my freedom
Can't take it from me
I was born into it
It comes naturally
I'm strumming my own freedom
Playing the God in me
Representing his glory
Hope he's proud of me
I'm livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden
(Hope he's proud of me)

Poverty, bigotry, and patriarchal violence defined Little Richard’s childhood, which may be what attracted him to this song, one about a father who benevolently prays for his children’s improved future. This introspective and brass-filled B-side to his single “I Don’t Want to Discuss It” refined Richards’s unfiltered moonshine vocal into an aged bourbon, perfect for this contemplative and weary civil rights ballad:

“Don’t mind struggling / I don’t mind livin’ on a little / If someday my kids / Are laughing together / And having things I never own.”

“Hurry Sundown” belatedly entered the public consciousness in 2017 when it appeared in the Better Call Saul episode “Sunk Costs“.

Miss Ann by Little Richard--- First album I ever bought was LR.

I love Mary J. Blige. She gets a lot of flack. They say she can't sing (she can), she can't act (okay, but she can play small roles) and she used to hang with Puff (she did, but so did everyone else in the 90s and 00s). I think she's getting ready to go on tour to avoid some of this heat. I don't blame her. If so, I might catch her if she's nearby.

I'm starting my new year with Mary J. and Vado

According to the Internets, the Japanese proverb “Nana korobi, ya oki” which translated means 'Fall down seven times, get up eight.' The proverb speaks to the Japanese concept of resilience and the 'insistence' that no matter how many times you get knocked down, you must get up again.

That’s so interesting to me, the philosophical question of which emotion is stronger and is usually associated with overcoming situations that typically have equally strong negative impacts. Most think that love overcomes hate. And while it might just be the antidote for the present moment, sometimes it is hate that is the predictor of a process.

I know that acting with love based compassion is far better than hate based motivated violence.

Thanks Orema for posting this video and song. 🌷

Definitely, it’s a reminder to act out of compassion rather than hate. 👍

Here’s an interesting discussion about it over on Quora.

Well, that inspired me to go looking for a song— which the Persuaders did first, but Chrissie Hyndes & The Pretenders covered as well: It’s A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. Definitely a great song performed by both musical groups. I like the one by The Pretenders, the most.
