about

I wrote this song about my experiences trying to get my music licensed. I was confronted with a lot of sexism and said my music would be acceptable only if I had a male singing the vocals. There's a lot of sexism especially in punk and metal scenes. It's difficult to be taken seriously as a female musician in the music industry as so many negative stereotypes try to force women into "accepted" pigeon holes.

lyrics

I can only earn money if it’s sanctioned by a man
No music licensing for me unless there’s a dude in the band
Almost every pitch I see will only accept a male voice
When I’ve pushed the issue it’s mansplained to me there’s no other choice

I’m calling all women to jump on the ceiling until it falls
Follow your heart make what you want don’t be afraid to walk tall

Market this Market this Market this Market this

There’s a musical mold for over emotional women
Weak, vulnerable and crumbling down is the only way to fit in
Or it’s the reverse with an over enthusiastic girl power pitch
Or a male sexual fantasy focused on ass, lips, hips and tits

We all need to keep making art that’s different and unique
Soon enough we will all prosper with the ceiling beneath our feet

Market this Market this Market this Market this

Turn the mold on it’s head
Set women’s voices free
I don’t care what she said
I’m talking about equality
