The song "Quiet" by MILCK

In what I feel was a very special moment at the historic "Women's March" after the Presidential Inauguration 2017, a group of women led by the song writer MILCK, started singing this beautiful song.  Putting aside political differences, the song is hauntingly lovely & powerfully fierce.

Here is the special message the artist wrote about the video and song: 

 As a survivor of anorexia, abuse, and depression, I can say that I have let the overwhelming pressures of filling media/society's expectations of "how a woman should be" overwhelm and silence my inner voices - without even realizing I was doing it. Until... I just couldn't breathe anymore. As I live more days on this planet now, I can say with full confidence that there are no standards or rules worth crushing our soul bones to fit into. Life gets better when we just... let it out.

I hope you enjoy, and feel empowered or comforted after watching. If you see some of yourself in this video, please share and pass the word on. Much love to you. 
Lyrics: Put on your face
know your place
shut up and smile
don’t spread your legs
I could do that

But no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, if I just lie still
Would I be that monster, scare them all away
If I let the-em hear what I have to say

I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I can’t keep quiet
For anyone
Anymore

Cuz no one knows me no one ever will
if I don’t say something, take that dry blue pill
they may see that monster, they may run away
But I have to do this, do it anyway

I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh I can’t keep quiet
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now

There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now

Must be someone who’ll understand
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now

There’ll be someone who understands
Let it out Let it out
Let it out now

I can’t keep quiet

And just because the gathering of women fighting for their rights & singing so beautifully gives me feels, here's the footage from the Women's March:

You are all beautiful. Never be afraid to speak up for yourself. ♥
