Rachel Rhodes - "Heartland" lyrics




Heartland

Baby, take me back again
Lead me slowly with your hands
Remind me where my heart lands

Winter feels colder with you gone
Now we're older; the years pass on
But don't forget; I haven't yet

No matter where I go
I'm always headed home
Never really left that place at all
And if I tried
Always knew that I'd
End up here again
In the heartland
Heartland

Seems so familiar, like nothing's changed
No one, not ever, took your place

No matter where I go
I'm always headed home
Never really left that place at all
And if I tried
Always knew that I'd 
End up here again
In the heartland 

(Repeat chorus)

Heartland
'Cause baby, you're my heartland
Heartland



Rachel Rhodes


This is what me and my friend presented to the class.

This was the first pop video

Lily Allen - Hard Out Here








This music video of Lily Allen's has created a massive debate with the public. She is seen as being stereotypical and racist, portraying young black female in an negative perspective. This video may seem that it is objectifying women because they are portraying themselves in a sexual manner only wearing minimum amount of clothing. 
Personally, i believe that Lily is showing this feminist perspective in this video, by displaying these female dancers as just objects to entertain the male population, and also to show others what the typical look 'should' be even though this is not the case. Lilly Allen is actually trying to get the message acrros that females struggle in life trying to be the ideal image of what men expect women to look like, and the efforts and pain they would go to just to do so i.e surgery.
