GUEST,Ay Up Kate Rusby, 'You belong to me' (292* d) RE: Kate Rusby, 'You belong to me' 14 Aug 07


- One of the things I (and plenty of others) dislike about the song under discussion is not quite that it signifies women's oppression but that it attempts to justify and rationalise ownership of one human being by another, regardless of gender. This is a bit sick and always wrong, no matter what accent or dialect it's warbled in. When the melodic structure is further ruined and, in the case of the Shrek soundtrack, the horrendously poor diction wanders way out of tune, it's just bad music. -


Another song of 'oppression' *grin*

You Belong To Me

One more

Belong to me you do *wink*

Being a person in love might I just say how beautiful it is to feel that you belong to someone and that they belong to you. If you don't feel this way then it's not love.

Nowt to do with sickness or oppression - simply all to do with love.
