Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power

Another Aretha gem. Produced by Lauryn Hill, 1998. This song and video featuring Lauryn Hill, Elise Neal, Faith Evans, Changing Faces, Q-Tip and Amel Larrieux really captures the essence and respect that younger artists Have for Aretha. And the message behind the song Remember who you are, pick up your crown and keep pushing is really universal, whether you're a male or female.

I remember when I had my daughter at 17, I thought I was nothing. My body was horrible looking from the weight gain, huge stretch marks, I hated myself... and of course, he no longer wanted me. 22 years later, I'm glad God has healed me from that TRAUMA and now I'm trying to speak life into my 22 year old who's going through the same thing minus the baby. I sent this to her.

People get lost in life, in the world... the only problem with this is,can they (we) be found? The answer is of course yes! And even more, the answer is that we can only become found through each other, thru reflection-- the hidden part of ourselves to be awakened, which can be so painful to do, and that is the reason it can feel so difficult, like going through pure anguish! Yet, that is the course!

I had no one in my life telling this message, but God used Aretha Franklin to say it to me in a song. I was just like this girl in the video then. Praise God for growth and wisdom. This is probably her most underrated song to date. RIP Queen!

Until you turn 35.. Then the tables turn. Women like older men (can't say the same for men) so while the world is unfair to young men, the tide turns for us men when you ladies age. Ladies, while you are young, learn, be complaint, and find that man! Time waits for nobody.

@toomuchinformation 6 жыл бұрын
Outis You're looking at power in a very linear, limited, left brained way. It doesn't mean sexual power, but the ability to be and feel good in your skin regardless, to have strong, yet flexible boundaries. If you're like then you're less likely to put up with being in an abusive relationship to begin with. It doesn't mean doing it in a shouty "I'm worth it!" way, but having a strong sense of self and internal strength.

@@evan3352 Ladies, do not listen to this incorrect spelling imbecile. Your worth is not found through any man. Don't waste your youth chasing after some good for nothing little boy who is looking for "compliance" instead of a true partner. Remember that YOU are the prize to be won and not him. You can also find a great man in your 30's, 40's, and beyond or you can be single. It takes nothing from your beauty, both inward and outward. As Aretha said in this song, "without him your life goes on!"

Miss Franklin was sooo talented that she has sang several genres of music from gospel to pop to disco to R&B etc… and crushed every single one. She was truly the talent to rival all talents not to mention how cold she was on the piano. Now someone name one artist alive or dead that has adapted in music successfully time after time decade after decade like Miss Aretha Franklin has. RIP as your music lives on.
