The Daughters by Little Big Town
Maybe it's that I'm a proud Momma's boy or that I have four strong older sisters and a host of nieces equally steadfast. Perhaps it's the female bosses, co-workers, and friends who I've had the good fortune to work beside or befriend over the years. Certainly Marianella needs acknowledgement here. Also the long line of impressive young women who I've worked with as their high school counselor through the years.
I guess credit goes to so many women who have helped shape who I am through their strengths. This is another of those songs that upon first listen made me straighten up and absorb with clear precision what was being sung and its power increases with each subsequent play. As I've aged, I have become increasingly less tolerant of the b.s. foisted upon girls and women, and this fine song takes a surgeon's scalpel to all of that so well in three and a half minutes.
