Song of the Season: A Woman's Worth

Song of the Season: Alicia Keys' A Woman's Worth

Alicia Keys' A Woman's Worth speaks volumes to me, and I'm sure countless others. Aside from the song being beautiful and a true depiction of the range and richness of Keys' voice, the meaning of the song is so deep and empowering in the aspects of both love and self worth. True love is based on an appreciation of both partners for one another. I've come into a point in my life where I truly know my worth and won't settle for anyone who doesn't realize its depth, or who takes me for granted.

A Woman's Worth

You could buy me diamonds
You could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby, you know I'm worth it

Dinner lit by candles
Run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby, you know I'm worth it

Wanna please
Wanna keep
Wanna treat your woman right

Not just told
But it's showed
That you know she is worth your time

You will lose
If you choose
To refuse
To put her first

She will
and she can
Find a man who knows her worth
mmmmmmmmmm hmm
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid to please her(yer yer)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first(comes first)
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth
hmm mmm hmmm mmm hmmm mmm hmmm hmm mmm hmm
hmmm hmmm mhmmmmmmmm

If you treat me fairly
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby, I know you're worth it

If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
Cuz baby, I know you're worth it

She walks the mile
Makes you smile
All the while
Bein' true

Don't take for granted
The passions that she has for you

You will lose
If you choose
To refuse
To put her first

She will
and she can
Find a man who knows her worth

Oooooh

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't 'fraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first(first baby)
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth

No need to read between the lines spelled out for you(spelled out for you)
Just hear this song cuz you can't go wrong when you value(you value)
A woman's (woman's, woman's, woman's) worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't fraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth

Words elude me...

♥ ♫ Bon Jovi

If Bon Jovi music could be the soundtrack to life, I think the world would be a much better place. Well, a bit more awesome, at least.

(Especially the music from the leather pants and feather hair days). Where have you been and why aren't you listening? I mean it. Not now...Right now.

Ok, so just go to the bottom of the screen. :-)

Music of the Month (December Edition)

Below I have listed my artist picks for December. A few more may be added as the month progresses on. Feel free to comment or share your personal current/past music favorites! Happy listening!

• Goapele - "Crushed Out" (A sweet and poetic song performed by a soultry voice. I love Goapele's music.)

• Anouk - "Lost" (Anouk has a unique and rich voice. The words are, in my opinion, beautiful and powerful.)

• Carrie Underwood - "Just A Dream" (There's no doubt Underwood has an amazing voice, and this song demonstrates it. A heart-wrenching and beautiful song.)
  
  
• Kansas - "Dust in the Wind" (A classic goodie :)   

• Train - "Marry Me" (Patrick Monahan's voice sounds great in this song. There isn't a lot of instrumental accompaniment, which makes his voice sound that much more rich. This song and the lyrics are so enchanting to me.)

• Miguel ft. J. Cole - "All I Want Is You" (The beat is smooth and cool while the lyrics are deep. I've been playing this song out...and loving it.)

• Rihanna - "What's My Name" (Aside from the redundant and rhetorical nature of the chorus, I love this song. It's fun and sexy, and I appreciated it that much more after I saw the video with Rihanna and Drake; such sweet chemistry.)

Music of the Month (October Edition)

I am a lover of all types of music. I only, typically, avoid the sappy country songs, especially if the video and lyrics are of the cliché variety, and death metal. My love for music is also heightened because I like to utilize a variety of music, across the board, when I'm choreographing a Modern dance piece. Honestly, can anyone say that they don't listen to music at some point in their day? Probably not. Even if you're not intending to listen, your co-worker's radio is probably a bit too loud. Below I have listed my artist picks for October, and the respective song that is currently playing on my Mp3 player. Feel free to add your thoughts and picks. Happy listening!

• Sia - "My Love" (Absolutely breathtaking song with heartfelt lyrics.)

• Florence and the Machine - "Heavy in Your Arms" and "Halo" cover. (Her cover is so unique and funky. I love it!)

• This Mortal Coil - "Song to the Siren" (Such a beautiful and haunting melody.)

• The Script - "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" (The lyrics to this song are so beautiful; I love his voice. Talk about a grand gesture! Ha.)

• Pilot Speed - "Alright" (Another haunting melody, in my opinion, that you can't help but listen to over and over again.)

• Queensryche - "Silent Lucidity" (I first heard this song on Supernatural and it has stayed with me. The scene was absolutely heartbreaking. Beautiful song.)

• Billy McLaughlin - "Helms Place" (I actually performed a piece choreographed to this music. I love the tempo transitions and the instruments. It makes my heart dance.)

• Alicia Keys - "Where Do We Go From Here?" (This song is so smooth and real. Ms. Keys' voice is magnificent, as usual.)
