Musical Worldview Project Playlist 01

As the Musical Worldview Project (finding wisdom in lyrics) hits 100 entries, what better way to celebrate than an hour-long playlist of hand-picked Holiday At The Sea Musical Worldview Project family favorites.

Sit back, relax, and let the music take your mind (and encourage you to think about what kind of world you’d like to see and what kind of person you’d like to become to make that world a reality).

Musical Worldview: Fiona Apple, 'Fetch The Bolt Cutters'

“While I'd not yet found my bearings
Those it girls hit the ground
Comparing the way I was to the way she was
Sayin' I'm not stylish enough and I cry too much
And I listened because I hadn't found my own voice yet
So all I could hear was the noise that
People make when they don't know shit
But I didn't know that yet

I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill
When they came around, I would stand real still
A girl can roll her eyes at me and killI
I got the idea I wasn't real
I thought being blacklisted would be grist for the mill
Until I realized I'm still here (I'm still here)
I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill
Shoes that were not made for running up that hill
And I need to run up that hill,
I need to run up that hillI,
I will, I will, I will, I will”
