Jamming out to Bruce Springsteen and considering his Mary songs.

1.	Thunder Road

Hope whispers: we could leave

2.	Mary Queen of Arkansas

Idealization distorts love into myth

3.	The River

Reality arrives. Life happens anyway.

4.	Mary’s Place

Community becomes the answer when dreams break

Mary doesn’t disappear. She changes form.

The #river doesn’t kill the #dream It #tests whether it can survive #adulthood

There must be more. #songs #love #humanity

Bitch ( one of the most honest songs ever )

Meredith Brooks

EXPLICIT

I hate the world today You're so good to me, I know, but I can't change Tried to tell you, but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath Innocent and sweet Yesterday, I cried You must have been relieved to see the softer side I can understand how you'd be so confused I don't envy you I'm a little bit of everything, all rolled into one

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So, take me as I am This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous And I'm going to extremes Tomorrow, I will change and today won't mean a thing

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way

Just when you think you got me figured out The season's already changing I think it's cool, you do what you do And don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover I'm a child, I'm a mother I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I do not feel ashamed I'm your hell, I'm your dream I'm nothing in between You know you wouldn't want it any other way

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease I'm a goddess on my knees When you hurt, when you suffer I'm your angel undercover I've been numb, I'm revived Can't say I'm not alive You know I wouldn't want it any other way
