Good girl (new original)
Hi y'all,
It's clear to me that women in our society are trained to be at maybe 30% of their potential. Sugar, spice and everything nice. Mute, submissive and obedient. Sugar-coating words so not to disrupt the status quo. Apologizing for their existence when they are holding the world together. I've been asked to play the role of a concubine, breeding animal and cheerleader for people who are presumptuous enough to assume their needs are more important than mine.
Good girl is a song I came up with that addresses all of the above. Not only does a good girl have it all together, she has innovative strategies that she shares to take her place at the table. The world depends on a more balanced leadership for the sake of a sustainable future.
My video is a tribute to all those women who have inspired me to live at 100%, shaping the world in their own unique ways.
-Audrey Hepburn - dancer, actress, UNICEF ambassador
-Ammachi - the hugging saint
-Galadriel - the Lady of Light in Lord of the Rings
-Hermione of Harry Potter - the most clever witch of her year
-Jane Goodall - primatologist
-Ruth Bader Ginsburg - Supreme Court Justice
-Native American medicine woman
-Sigourney Weaver's role in Avatar
-My maternal grandmother Changwha Park
Lyrics:
Sugar spice everything nice (3x)
She’s a good girl
Gives her hair a twirl
Goes to school and knows all the rules
Smile on her face
Never disgraced
She gets by, wholesome as pie
It’s not a guise, there’s light in her eyes, love in her eyes, light in her eyes
It’s no surprise
Sliding through the world of greens and blues, gliding high on gossamer wings
Focuses her vision, sees the truth, firm on her feet and sweetly she sings
Firm on her feet and clearly she sings
P.U. smells the stink of b.s.
Ugh sees the disorder of duress
Yuck the imbalance of the scales, the oppression
Eww the dirty acts they call tradition
Lies to cover up the exploitation
She sees it, calls it out, sets the stage, it’s a new page
Sugar spice everything nice (3x)
She sees the truth and that’s no lie
Pulling off the dirt of cloudy ignorance
Boy, get your paws off the clean linen
Don’t make another mess with all your testosteronin’
The world needs a change, it’s getting late
Don’t want to suffer a mistake
No no no no no no no!
She’s a good girl she stands tall
Has all the tools, can fix the fall
Checks the order, calibrates the flow
She’s got the answers, she’s in the know
Trust her in her military gear, she’s won her tours over the years
Clear as a bell she’s gone diving in the wishing well
Finding solutions for the millennium
X-Ray vision
Masterful intuition
Magicianship beyond recognition
Her voice resonates across nations
She’s wise, alert, whole and complete
She’s got her finger on the pulse and the beat
She marches to the knowing of her internal drum
What a rebuilder, a sage in a wild maelstrom
Sugar spice everything nice (3x)
She’s a lot more than that so better think twice
She’s a strong girl and a very fine pearl
She’s here to build a better world
She’s got what it takes, make no mistake
She says it like it is, not how you want it to be
She’ll set us free, set us free

Fantastic as always. I won't pretend that I understand everything here, but I get the gist of it and you put it over in your unique style which I've come to know and enjoy. Keep doing what you do Paulina, it's always a pleasure to listen to and an inspiration to try and make the world a better place for everyone.😀

Thank you, Chris. I know I'm pushing it with the free flowing strange first draft-ness of this song, but I feel like it will lead to something better.

Thank you, Robert. I have a great time doing these kinds of recordings and will go acapella next time. I will feel even more free!
No, I do not have permission to use the photos, but I figure I won't get many views because I keep these og videos unlisted.

I appreciate the heads up. I can easily change the video to include pictures of me as the good girl. :)

its a cute song . The women you're using are going back 60 years.
Women are doing pretty well in the business' world in 2023 .
Men by evolution, will always be more aggressive. Hunter, Gather. its all DNA .
We also die sooner .

Hi Elvis, thanks. Did you know that anthropologists have recently found out that hunters have been whoever was best at it and they have often been women? https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/07/01/1184749528/men-are-hunters-women-are-gatherers-that-was-the-assumption-a-new-study-upends-i

I think you've got lots of good ideas there, but as a song, I think it needs to concentrate down a bit more.
There's no punchy catchphrase yet, and melodically it feels pretty much the same throughout, and there's a risk of the listener zoning out.
It sounds like this is an early draft, so plenty of time to play with it, give it time to germinate.

The song is about men holding women back , In a sense its true . It's stock footage all public , I doubt Hepburn who's dead is suing you . If were a Major you'd need permission . The Me to movement took down aggressive men. Weinstein and them guys .

Thank you, RDM. I agree. I'm getting new ideas for it and will be making this lump of clay into something more palatable.
Elvis, I'm not blaming anyone, just stating facts that it's women who need to step up to the plate and swing that bat.
Hopefully, there'll be no one in the way!

Jami Gertz is the richest actress in 2023: 8 billion net worth . I doubt she lets men, get in her way . There's a lot of women kicking ass Chris. Dolly Parton ect ect ect . They'll be a women prez soon , Give it some time. Men will blame her on bad policies'. Like women blame men now .
You'd have to take a poll, on say women 25 -years old . Would you rather face the vicious world , or stay home with a family ?
I'd give it a 50 % , Just guessing . Vicious, is a over blown statement, "Its really a pretty good world , over all. "
