Maria Brink's father walked out when she was very young. Her mother was addicted to drugs. She became pregnant at 14 with her son. She lived alone, working at a launderette to pay the rent. She helped her mother overcome her drug addiction whilst raising her son. She made the rash decision to move to Los Angeles, driving 2,500 miles. She worked in cafes and sang in small establishments for 2 years. She's now one of the most successful women in metalcore. What an inspiration.
She opened for Avenged Sevenfold when I went and saw them last month, when I saw her walk out this kind of music was not what I expected her to be singing.
I saw her twice, once she opened for Papa roach and Shinedown, I didn't care for her.. but over the summer she opened for 5FDP and was fucking amazing!
I know like one song by avenged sevenfold. Thx Instagram. Didn't know how much avenged sevenfold I needed in my life, in such crazy times. If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was a teeny bopper.
I love how this artist does not only sing amazing and have a very unique voice, i love that i can feel the actually pain in her voice brings me goosebumps. One of my most favorite songs everr❤️💯
what does this song mean? ive been looking for anyone to explain it.. is she saying ' she wants to be his whore' or ' he thinks she's a whore after he made her into one '..
Brink created the term Women Honoring One Another Rising Eternally to give new meaning away from the derogatory connotation of the "whore" word. "This is an honest and raw movement that needs to be heard," she exclaimed. "The message behind this song is taking back control. It is about taking the power from a disgusting and degrading word and turning it back around on the accuser. It's about self-empowerment, love, and liberation."
In my 70's, never got stuck in a musical timezone and kept moving. This song, freshly discovered, in on my play list. For the music, for the intellect behind it.
This song is my exact words i would say for the man ive loved for the past 5+ years. The things he says about me are only a reflection of himself. Although i let him use my body i see right through him.
You don't have to be in a toxic relationship to be treated as such. Nor drugs or alcohol, abuse, etc...It is truly us men. We reduce women to be an object to serve a purpose. That's guys problems. If we reflect on our past relationships where we've hurt women, this songs lyrics and video encapsulate it. At least for me it has. Years of many women I've hurt and left. After looking to solve the problem, the lyrics are so true. Glad that part of my life is over. The pain i inflicted renains. Guilt won't fix it. We can be such douchebags!
My god... her voice abnormal. Her range, emotion, technique, everything is on point. She is a goddess. As a singer myself I can only hope to be half as good as her, she is aspiring!
The greatest songs ever written are written from the heart... they have meaning and deep roots to those who have or are living the same... this is deep... I love it, every word....meaning.. LOVE IT!
I have ptsd and just discovered this song and looked up the lyrics about .5 seconds ago (about 2 minutes after i discovered) this speaks . I am tired of being damaged to others. I will scream this forever.
Raven Døden You need to see the joke for what it is and move on. Hating a joke is like hating am Internet comment: nobody really cares except for you. :)
Why is everyone _still_ hating on Lady Gaga? Lmao... Like the song suggests, how do you know someone's life... You weren't there... Let people come up with ideas like a normal human being...
I've been hearing this song for years. It's one of those songs that I connect to so well by witnessing so much domestic violence in my own family. But we are a family that doesn't take this any longer by such men.. We came out so strong 💪 and are mature individuals that deserve respectful men that match our maturity level. From an interview with Maria Brink herself (the singer): "Our single just came out, "Whore." It's a powerful song. I want people to know the meaning in that song. It's about taking the power back for something degrading and public humiliation - when people are cold to other people or stoning other people because they're different or they don't understand them. ... It's about learning to love ourselves and not letting other people's words and harsh ways affect us, because that's really their perception and that's their world. The reason why I used such a strong word ... (is) so that they can really get the empowerment behind the song."
0:22 to 0:44 reminds me of my drug addicted days when all I wanted was to put my life back together but it wasn't easy..and I feel her emotions through her singing...💪💪👏👏✌
I like the irony of the Song "I'm the dirt you've created".."take a look in the mirror" etc. Ppl judge so easily without knowing anything of the story behind of the the person, it is so easy to be judgemental before thinking but in final it get back at your face...
If you want an even more intense example of her ability to scream....check out "The Great Divide" that song makes me jizz myself everytime I hear it lmao
When you've suffered domestic violence in your past that's what happens it haunts you an the only way to get the hurt out that's been built up inside is to scream it out in private
My heart was ripped apart by someone who I met thru this song I want to believe I am over that and leave it behind, but I keep coming back to this song
I feel the same a lot of the times. I don't catch onto music with female lead-vocals often because I prefer the lower pitch of male-vocals. But she has a very unique voice that has that ruff undertone that i like from some male artists.
This song makes me look at my ex wife as a soldier for woman who put up with boys who thought they were men... I was one of those boys.. Who later grew up to love her for everything thing i should love her for.. Best baby mama ever. Thank you for are daughter best gift ever!
Cullen Pyburn whenever I am in public, I'm sure I look like a crazed woman head banging so fucking much and not stopping. I'll put her songs on back to back to back and head bang till my brain pops out.
She rocked out on this song. Good stuff. I really like this. I love the way she screams 'I can be you're whore.' She goes off! So much emotion behind the words. This song goes hard asf! ⛽🔥
It probably is doll, but I like dirt. Lilith, Adam first wife (also known as the whore of Babylon) was said to be made dirt, dust, and clay, while adam was made of plant material and clay. Lilith was shamed for her sexual dominance and banished from the garden of eden. So I think dirt actually suits the song just as well.
So this is my first time yo hear a song like this and I got a lil scared actually but I love it at the same time. Very powerful! I gotta thank the author of the book I read who put this one on the book playlist.
It's been such a long time since I listened to this. This is such a great song that you can listen to when you're feeling down and you can just sing along with it to get your emotions out

@@margowynn4388 I'm learning I've got to love myself. I've always thought of myself as a whore but I was looking for me in someone else. I was sexually molested and blamed him and my mom for everything. I didn't like sex but I tried too.. now ik what I like and I'm going to go forward and put that word away.
my friend just introduced me to this group and i've listen to skynard, ffdp, slip knot, ect... i have never heard a woman sing amazing as she does! this is real talent right here! today all these new female singers are all hip hop and mostly trash, but i heard this and not only e but all the metal heads in my family were blown away! i can not wait to listen to more of her songs because right now this one is my favorite the gutair and drums are amazing and her voice is fantastic and really puts this together. if i even try to talk like this my throat will hurt, the metal heads like this have a lot of talent! all in all she is an amazing singer!
sooo I was playing cards with my mom and sister and this song was playing in the back and my mom made a kids bop version and said " I CAN BE YOUR BESTFRIEND"
