I went to get the link to the Alicia Keyes/Clinton video "Superwoman" and while I was there I found several others that I really enjoyed. I thought I would post them so that other people could enjoy also.
If I knew how to make a video I would do one myself... only it would be to Opera or Sondheim... = )
Follow me over the fold to see the videos. I hope this works. ;Otherwise all I will have posted is a big HTML mess.
Several were really wonderful. Come over the fold and have a look and listen.
Super Hero.. .Alicia Keyes
I have found a new singer I like. I don't like much popular music. I am classical and Opera, but I will go out and find a good CD by Ms. Keyes. She is terrific.
The video is full of images from the past 35 years. I particularly love the ones with Hillary in college with the wire rim glasses and her hair hair in a bun giving that speech at Wellesley and the videos of her on the trail. It is all in black and white. It is a fan video and is very well done.
LYRICS:
Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh
Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman
This is one to the song "Let the River Run" Carly Simon. It is another fan video and well done I think. I have always LOVED this song.
First here are the lyrics
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
Let the river run
let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem.
Silver cities rise
the morning lights the streets that lead them
and sirens call them on with a song
It's asking for the taking
trembling
shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
We the great and small
stand on a star
and blaze a trail of desire
through the darkening dawn
It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your lover
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
It's asking for the taking
trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
running on the water
coming through the fog
your sons and daughters
Let the river run
let all the dreamers
wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem
This one is full of classic pictures and feminists that you will recognize on sight. I am not familiar with the song or the artist. But the song seems to be called "Women on Top".
This next one is Carie Underwood. I don't like country music most of the time, but I like this song, I'll Stand By You, and though the video is not brilliantly edited, it has some good footage of Clinton talking about making people's lives better.
Here is another one by a Hillary fan. The person has used some song by a group called Shiny Toy Guns. I can't figure out the name of the song, but it might be "It starts with one"?
There Will Come a Day.. Faith Hill
This is of course another fan video.
