Girl Rock

Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, Susan Tedeschi and Carol King. You know those songs that make you just crank up the volume and scream your lungs out? Its girl rock. The music that gets you PUMPED, ready for anything and then Man! you feel like a woman. Like any other genre, girl rock has its own language. The underlying, driving bass and beat with a hardcore lead guitar line and on top of it all that strong, trumpetting female vocal. The best songs to get dressed to for a night out, the best cell phone ringtones, the best sing-along shower songs, and the only thing I want to wake up to. And then, they even pop up in dreams when you're telling your ex-boyfriend to get over himself when all the sudden you jump on the table and you're belting If it Makes You Happy! Happens all the time. Clearly its my favorite kind of music but its not exactly the coolest thing to tell people when they ask, but you know, I wear it proud. I guess it all started back in Middle School when Mr. Seymour showed us all the beauty of rock and roll, the emotion behind it and the way you have to push yourself to keep up with it- stay on top of it and its never left me since. Now tell me somebody knows what I'm talkin' about.
