about

"Sour Women" isn't a song so much as a musical poem, or maybe even a musical rant. I was in a music industry chatroom one day when somebody asked about recruiting young women between the ages of 17 and 24 for an RnB project. I kindly asked the man what happens to women after 24...and he swiftly had to leave for some unexplained reason. Here's what I believe: women don't expire. We get stronger and wiser and more cunning all the time and I'm excited to see the interesting things that women everywhere are making...at any age!

lyrics

I think I’m past my best before
And now the local corner store
Will have to take me off the floor
With all the other sour women

I’m not sure what happened though
I’m told that’s just the way it goes
There comes a time when women folk
Develop this bizarre condition

And I should’ve seen it coming
Me and all the sour women
With our unashamed opinions proudly on display
Uncomfortable for people who would take that pride away

If this is what it’s like to be
Too far beyond my sweet sixteen
To be part of your groceries
From here among the sour women

Then take me to the discount bins
With my unshaken confidence
To tell it like it really is
For anyone who cares to listen
