Description

Just a Girl

Inspiration behind the song, “Just a Girl”

A young boy doesn’t want any girls on his team or involved with his friends because she is just a girl. But that changes as he gets older and then he gets nervous and amazed at the same time when he gets around them. In the song of Solomon  a Shepard boy’s heart  was captured by a beautiful girl  “You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride, You have captured my heart with one glance of your eyes, With one pendant of your necklace. How beautiful your expressions of affection are, my sister, my bride! Your expressions of affection are far better than wine, And the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!  Your lips, my bride, drip with comb honey. Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebʹa·non.” The book is filled with how a girl has her effect on those that admire her. The song, ‘Just a girl’  reflects on that transition period when a young man comes to realize her value and even an older man. How is it that women when they pass this period come to be mistreated by men who at first where so “amazed” and so “afraid ” . In some cultures they are treated as of no value by either  considering their work to be of less value and their opinion even more unimportant. Let us not forget that their value and  opinions are equal if not more than the boy who found them to be so amazing and the man who should have learned that in equality there is nothing to fear, only to appreciate. In fact their opinion and work sometimes is of far greater quality than those male critics who belittle them. These things inspirted the song, “Just a Girl”.
