Dear music lovers and empaths...
Stumbled past this song and was like this is new and the same all at once. the talented Alicia Moore (Pink) released this song in the bush era, and I remember it like yesterday, and maybe I can trace that song being what "radicalized" me.
Listening to this not so new but new to me rendition by Kiana Ledé took me back but still screaming in the present.
the lyrics were so raw and truthful in 2006, so completely impactful in 2020 and now heartbreaking still present in 2025.
I hope your tomorrow is better than yesterday 💚✊🏽
