Ootishenia”

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Long hair comin’ down her shoulders
She is tired, and feeling so much older
So tear the pages from the family bible
It came down upon the women for survival
It came down upon the women for survival
I wasn’t meanin’ nothing at all
You stop me if I get it wrong
I think I’m hearing somebody saying
I’m gonna spank you till you can’t sit down

- The Be Good Tanyas, “Ootishenia”

These three women are everything I need this morning (it’s in the way her voice curves around the words in her throat, high and low).
