最近艾瑪華森以聯合國大使身分女神之姿於「HeForShe」發表性平演講,內容撼動人心讓大眾強力喝采,引人深思。而其實除了艾瑪華森,歐美演藝圈還有更多高呼兩性平等的女權主義者,許多歌手甚至將自己的的想法化為音樂,以最容易深入人心的方式歌頌女權主義,一起來看看有哪些歌曲其實是有女權涵義在其中的吧:
〈I Love It - Icona Pop featuring Charli XCX〉
“You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's b*tch
I love it!”
瑞典女子DJ樂團 Icona Pop的這首《I Love It》去年紅遍全球,輕快富節奏感的旋律非常讓人印象深刻,而其中就唱到女孩不願為了男友改變,勇敢做自己!
〈Let It Go - Idina Menzel〉
"It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free!"
艾莎女王的主題曲《Let It Go》也有女權涵義在其中?當艾莎唱到:「突破自我、不再做乖乖女、無拘無束」時,確實可以發現這首歌是在鼓勵女孩不要因為世人眼光而侷限自我呢!
〈All About That Bass - Meghan Trainor〉
"Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two
But I can shake it, shake it
Like I'm supposed to do
'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places"
《All About That Bass》的歌手Meghan Trainor是個身材豐腴的棉花糖系女孩,而《All About That Bass》就是鼓勵跟她一樣的女孩們不要因為自己的身材自卑,高歌:「男生就愛我們這種有胖胖翹臀的女生!」也譴責了現在處處都是骨瘦如材的模特兒這種不健康的現象。
〈Run the World (Girls) - by Beyoncé〉
“My persuasion can build a nation
Endless power, the love we can devour
You'll do anything for me
Who run the world? Girls (girls)”
其實碧昂絲應該每張專輯都入榜才對,尤其在這首「Run the World (Girls)」中又高唱女孩要統治世界,大家早就發現他是女權主義者了啦!
〈BO$$ - Fifth Harmony〉
"C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T, that's me, I'm confident
Don't want yo compliments, use common sense
I'm on my Michelle Obama shhh, shut your mouth"
Fifth Harmony 的這首舞曲《BO$$》應該大家都聽過,而歌曲中也有唱到女孩要自立自強、並強調女孩的自信不應該是來自外界讚美,而應該是由裡到外的自信。
〈F**Kin’ Perfect - Pink〉
“Pretty, pretty please .Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fuckin' perfect
Pretty, pretty please .If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing .You're fuckin' perfect to me”
每個女孩都應該要有自信,不要被世人所認定的「完美」束縛,而覺得自己注定被淘汰,因為在世界上一定還有很多人愛你,而在他們眼中,妳是完美的。
〈Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) - Kelly Clarkson〉
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone"
失戀真的不是世界末日,正如歌詞唱到的「What doesn't kill you makes you stronger」只要妳還活著,那麼曾經打擊妳的事物只會讓妳更堅強,就算單身,妳還有家人和好姊妹,才不會孤單呢!
〈Girl On Fire - Alicia Keys〉
"Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say"
每個女孩都應該要放開自己盡情閃耀、勇敢作夢。
許多人對於「女權」二字都有負面的想法,認為女權主義者皆跋扈又對男性存有敵意,但其實「女權」的涵義不應該是如此,套句艾瑪華森於演講上說的:「女權並不等於憎惡男性,而是希望兩性皆能享有自由的權利。」女權主義者只是希望能夠消除兩性間的刻板印象,讓人人都保有做自己喜歡做的事的權力,不會因為自己的性別而受到限制。而今天介紹的歌曲中都有這樣的意義才其中,以上女權歌單是否觸動妳的心了呢?
