Lesley Gore – You Don’t Own Me – #Shareconomy

Wozu muss man Dinge persönlich besitzen? Im Lied von Lesley Gore geht es nicht um die sogenannte  #Shareconomy. Dennoch kann man aus dem Songtext schlussfolgern, dass weder der Besitz von Menschen noch der Besitz von Dingen enkeltauglich ist. Daher, teilt das Zeug denn der Besitz von immer mehr Dingen macht unsere Erde langfristig kaputt. www.Sharley.ch bietet hierfür eine ideale Plattform an.

Ökologisch

Viele Gegenstände werden nur selten gebraucht. Nutze die Objekte deiner Nachbarn und spare lange Fahrten.

Ökonomisch

Spare Platz und Geld; miete es einfach, wenn du etwas brauchst. Und durch das Vermieten deiner eigenen Objekte kannst du sogar noch Geld dazu verdienen.

Sozial

Wie gut kennst du deine Nachbarn? Und weisst du, wer was besitzt? Sharely verbindet Menschen durch den Austausch von Alltagsgegenständen. Miete und vermiete ganz lokal.

Lesley Gore is a singer-songwriter best remembered for her 1963 smash single “It’s My Party.” Gore also scored hits with “Maybe I Know” and “You Don’t Own Me.”

QUOTES

I wouldn’t go so far as to make ‘You Don’t Own Me’ a tango or ‘It’s My Party’ a hip-hop thing. Believe me, those things have been suggested to me. But I thought if I could stay true to the song, the arrangements would work. I’m really enjoying singing them.

I still get a chill when I sing, ‘You Don’t Own Me.’ I find some new feeling in it every time.

I just kind of lived my life naturally and did what I wanted to do.

—Lesley Gore

Synopsis

Lesley Gore’s first and most popular hit, 1963’s “It’s My Party,” remains her calling card today. Her voice became the quintessential sound for youthful longing, and she recorded several other hits throughout the 1960s, including “Look of Love,” “Maybe I Know” and “You Don’t Own Me.” Gore was later nominated for an Academy Award for “Out Here on My Own” for the film Fame. Gore died of lung cancer on February 16, 2015.

 

Lyrics –  You don’t own me

You don’t own me
I’m not just one of your many toys
You don’t own me
Don’t say I can’t go with other boys

And don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display ’cause

You don’t own me
Don’t try to change me in any way
You don’t own me
Don’t tie me down ’cause I’d never stay

I don’t tell you what to say
I don’t tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That’s all I ask of you

I’m young and I love to be young
I’m free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

And don’t tell me what to do
Oh, don’t tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display

I don’t tell you what to say
Oh, don’t tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That’s all I ask of you

I’m young and I love to be young
I’m free and I love to be free
To live

By the way you don’t have to own things like drones and beamers anymore. The sharing economy is just arround the corner… 😉
