AWOLNATION - Wind of Change (feat. Brandon Boyd of Incubus & Portugal. The Man)

Woman Woman

Performed by AWOLNATION

Written by Aaron Bruno

They have such an odd sound, AWOLNATION does.  I wanted to discount them as one of those bands that I wouldn’t ever be into.  But, between this and Sail, I couldn’t ignore what I was finding.  This is a crank up the volume and rock hard with it kind of band.

I liked this one the first time I heard it.  What’s not to like?  It’s catchy, it’s simple, it’s not obnoxiously overdone and it’s just… Fun.  There’s some part of me that says, “Check out the video.  It’s full of naked women.  Woo hoo!”  But, then I remember that I’m not 12.

The message in this song is something that kind of feels continued from yesterday.  Southern Cross was someone that lost their relationship and was trying to sail away from the memory.  Woman Woman is a bit more my speed.  The relationship falls apart, so do I, drinking to excess in the effort of choking any kind of emotion that my heart might feel.  And while the sentiment isn’t exactly the same (I’m much better without her and actively seeking to find new love), I still feel some connection to this.

Lyrics:

Last night I fell apart

Broke from my swollen heart

Born at a simple time

Raised with a simple mind

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

I may be worthless without you

I’ll never decide to replace you

Amen, the worst is behind us now

Woman, woman (oh)

I may be worthless without you

I’ll never decide to replace you

Amen, the worst is behind us now

Woman,woman

Woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

Last night I fell apart

Choked on my drunken heart

I may be worthless without you

I’ll never decide to replace you

Amen, the worst is behind us now

Woman, woman

I may be worthless without you

I’ll never decide to replace you

Amen, the worst is behind us now

Woman, woman

Woman.

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

You

(Ah-ah-ah)

Who’s that woman, woman?

Is that woman, woman?

Be my woman, woman

Won’t you see me in the dark?

Who’s that woman, woman?

Is that woman, woman?

Be my woman, woman

Won’t you see me in the dark?

I may be worthless without you

I’ll never decide to replace you

Amen, the worst is behind us now

Woman, woman (oh)

I may be worthless without you

I’ll never decide to replace you

Amen, the worst is behind us now

Woman, woman

Woman, woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman

You may be a natural woman
