Some of these songs make me cry. Some of them make me happy. Some of them are about love. Some of them aren't. All of them are by/about strong women, and they are all inspiring.
While making the mix, I actually aspired not to have too many happy songs on it. I just wanted to make a mix that conveys a sadness and emotional depth that, for the most part, only women experience (or admit to experiencing).

The lyrics to this song are shockingly raw and easy to interperet. Tori Amos supposedly wrote this song a few hours before a show and performed it right there, right after she'd been raped on her way home. It's rather heartbreaking. I had to make it the last song on the mix, because I don't think anything could really follow it. SHOW LESS
