Legend Of A Cowgirl

Imani Coppola

I'm gonna drink my whiskey
Gonna have my man
I know you got nothing to say
I'm gonna have my men,
Gonna steal their hearts
And save em for another day
Ain't got hang my hat
Ain't gonna take off my boots
Ain't nothin gonna stop me in my pursuit
My stage time to rehearse
Gonna see all the wonders of the universe

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day
i think i'll wear my brand new negligee
I'll probably change my mind,
It happens everytime
Just speak to my ex-fiancee
I'm gonna hunt the hunter,
Gonna serve em well done
Know where to hide, know where to run
Up goes the moon, down comes the sun
Cook my dinner while I shine my gun

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Cuz there ain't no thing like a chicken wing
Ain't got no shame nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

I'd give my life to be her
I'd give my life just to be her
I'd give my sight to see her
I'd give my sight just to see her

Now here's the way I'm gonna break it down
Change my mind anytime
Cuz I got the master plan
Power my soul straight from my hand
I'm goin up north to claim my land
Set em up, rig em up, make me shiver
So look out and hide your fans
I'm a woman on fire with a huge desire,
Gonna be as good as any man.

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

    I heard this song in a movie called "Virtual Sexuality" and found it very catchy, yet I've never heard of this artist before - does anyone have any info about her?

    I've heard this many times. It's a great song. It is totally feminine powered with lines of not needed a man at all. And when you move somewhere else, no one knows you so you've got your gun and you're ready for anything. It always mentally empowers me when I hear it.

    Interestingly enough, I heard this song on the closing credits for the cartoon Daria and fell in love. :)

    Its all about being a powerful independent woman.

    More really about the woman someone wants to be.

    She sings this song about this all ass kicking woman, but then wishes it was her.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
