OT - Grammys

I didn't watch the Grammys last night but on the news this morning there was a recap. The song that has been getting me through this that makes me cry every time but also makes me feel strong is Praying by Kesha. I loved her dance music however this is something completely different its very powerful and intimate when I first heard it I couldn't believe it was Kesha singing it. She's singing about her sexual assault but the words are so poignant for all of us here. I have included a link to the song and am posting the lyrics. BTW so excited bought tickets for DD18 and me to see her in June. Cant wait!

"Praying"
Kesha
Well, you almost had me fooled
Told me that I was nothing without you
Oh, but after everything you've done
I can thank you for how strong I have become
'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is "I wish you farewell"
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin'
I'm proud of who I am
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
'Cause I can make it on my own, oh
And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known
I'll bring thunder, I'll bring rain, oh
When I'm finished, they won't even know your name
You brought the flames and you put me through hell
I had to learn how to fight for myself
And we both know all the truth I could tell
I'll just say this is "I wish you farewell"
I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin'
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin'
Ah sometimes, I pray for you at night, oh
Someday, maybe you'll see the light
Whoa oh oh oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give
But some things only God can forgive
Yeah! (I hope you're somewhere prayin', prayin')
I hope your soul is changin', changin'
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin'

It was a very moving performance. I think the best of the night because of how open and raw the emotions of the song are.
Here is a link to the performance

Little Big Town song Better Man that they sung has always spoke to me. I think we all wish our AH were better men.
