Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
You don't stop, you keep on!
It's the Junkyard nigga, kid
You know what I'm about
Puffing on a fat one
Guzzling a Guinness Stout
Boning bitches on a regular
My game is lethal, that's my word
I'm telling ya
Living foul like a motherfucker
That's the way it's been ever
Since I was a shorty, sucker
So don't even try to flex
I'll put a round in your chest and
Leave you in a fucking mess
Niggas know my style, they be playing
If I have to catch a body I will
Know what I'm saying?
Niggas from Corona don't be having it
You put your face in my
Grill I'll be stabbing it
You fuck around and catch a bad one
I'll kill you like a six pack
And put you in a bag, son
And I still ain't fronting
Fully loaded Tec, chump, ready to go hunting
I come equipped with shit
That's fucking wicked
Damn, niggas can't fuck with the program
I take a stand and look down the clip
Take a swig and spark up the spliff (boom)
Niggas know the time with the Beatnuts funk
John Wayne got smoked when I popped the trunk
Punk, I told you once and
I won't tell you twice
I smoke the blunts and we
Won't pay the price
For pussy or any fucking mass
But the raw dog style in your girl's ass
I think I just came
Stud's break didn't work
I guess it's all in your brain
Shit smells like demon spirit
Learn from Exorcist, punk
You can't come near it
So fear it or you'll go out like the priest
Don't you know
Man I'm the wicked nigga from the East Coast
Ooh child, motherfuckers down with the licks
Oh shit
I'm hitting niggas sick with my tricks
So throw up styles that blow up whiles I go
On with the flow, better act like you know
But I won't take no prisoners
Got shit for his-n hers
Fucks up you all when the nuts have a ball
Cause we don't play
Blast brains with the smoker
Get fucked up when we toke with the joker
And, never let me see you crying
Heads start to flying
It's time for the dying
And I'mma get real deep, fall into a sleep
Knock a freak in my sheets, man
Fuck counting sheep
And come on, step on up and meet my Tec
Either fill you full of wholes
Or wring your fucking neck
Cause I'mma let off and blast
A shot in your eye
Make way motherfucks, it's the real superfly
It's the Junkyard nigga, kid
You know what I'm about
Puffing on a fat one
Guzzling a Guinness Stout
Boning bitches on a regular
My game is lethal, that's my word
I'm telling ya
Living foul like a motherfucker
That's the way it's been ever
Since I was a shorty, sucker
So don't even try to flex
I'll put a round in your chest and
Leave you in a fucking mess
Niggas know my style, they be playing
If I have to catch a body I will

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
