Sharing Shards of Yourself ( music and badass women)

I admit I've been spending less time here than I used to. Life.
But in the time I have spent on the platform recently, I had an interesting exchange with @ziofeda who mentioned sharing songs and how that can be a really intimate experience. And it reminded me of a post I've been meaning to do for about a week now, on here.

Yes, a music sharing post.
We were talking about how when you share a song, you're also sharing the emotion the song gives you, the thoughts behind it, the person you think of when you hear the lyrics etc. You're putting yourself out there, and yet, you're not. Because most people out there don't know a thing about you and either don't know enough to interpret the song or simply don't care. A lot of people just don't care, you know?

And most people have their own separate memories relating to a song, their own lives and secrets they associate with that specific song. I'm in this rock music community on Facebook and I love it whenever I share a song and get a 'love' reaction because why? Is it just because they're a fan of the band and really like the song? What do they associate with it? How did they find out about the band in the first place?
I mean, I can only know what I associate with a specific song, but the possibilities for other people are endless. And I love that we can all be connected through one song, even though what we think of when we hear it is not the same by far.
It would be weird if it was, really...

So, Imma share a bunch of songs I've been listening to lately, with a focus on powerful women in rock and metal, because you know, they're really badass and everything. And I've been listening to a lot of female singers lately, so here goes.

Maybe you know the songs and like them, too. Maybe you share a different song that's really been hitting you lately, who knows?
Don't explain it, though, unless you really want to. Just share it, who knows, maybe someone else really likes it and you find a fellow music lover out there. Or maybe they didn't even know the band/song, but now they listen to it, they find they can really relate.

Check this woman out, just listen to the whole song, I think she has the most insane vocal range I've ever come across.

And then, a classic Halestorm which I really love (I know I've shared their songs before, but what can you do? I find Lzzy really relatable). Well, Lzzy deserves a post all for her, you know? She is just such an inspiring woman. A role-model, in many ways.

By the way, this isn't a complete list of all the female vocalists I like, just a few I've been listening to a lot lately. I know, there are a lot more out there. And hey, if you feel like recommending some, go for it :)
I love discovering new bands.

Right now, I'd probably recommend half of In This Moment's discography and I won't because that would get really repetitive, but just one more song ~

Isn't she fucking brilliant?

Thanks for readinglistening,
