Grateful For Music Challenge Day 4

Song: Piece of My Heart
Artist: Janis Joplin

OK. So this song is such a RANDOM song for me to be posting but just hear me OUT!

Remember when I talked about how I had listened to everything by Pentatonix this past summer? And I mentioned how I watched their entire season of The Sing Off on youtube? Well, this was one of the songs they covered on the show and I loved their arrangement! I have gone back and listened to their version several times within the past month or so. Then today, I decided to look up the original version and even though it's not my favorite style of music, I have really been digging it today! It's just kinda fun! This is a very different type of song for me to post and to be into but ya know, I just am!

I am grateful that I can listen to and appreciate all different kinds of styles and genres of music. I know people who "like what they like" and basically refuse to give anything different from that a chance. It actually kinda annoys me to be honest! I guess that's just because I have found so much joy by listening to so many different artists and genres that I feel those stubborn people are missing out on great stuff! I can be a weirdly passionate person about random things, ha ha.

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah!
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, and I cry all the time!
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now.
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it - whoahhhhh!!

Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.



Here is the PTX version that I originally fell in love with. Don't you love the almost reggae type spin they gave it!? I just can't get over how good they were, even then, when they were just starting out!
