    Directed by Jamie Holt
    LYRICS:
    Seem like everywhere I go, everybody wanna know
    What’s it like to be a girl, in the music world
    The scene is so sexist, believe me I get it, we’d probably sell more records if I flaunted my ass and chest but forget it
    I work like one of the boys, and I’m as true as they get
    but I’m a lady through and through, like give me some credit
    I knew I’d regret it if I tried to blend in and pretend
    Be something other than I am
    like have you noticed I’m a woman
    Didn’t come to downplay it, or to play it up either
    and I’m not trying pick a fight or be nobody's leader
    But it feels like everybody’s just a little too interested
    In the fact that females can indeed make music
    Our interviews, our bios, - they all make it a point
    "Female Fronted Band, from Decatur, Illinois"
    And just once, I’d like to see some other band’s resume go out of their way to say they’re fronted by a male, ok?
    And while we’re on it, let me say
    Women don’t all sound the same
    Who gave us the idea that "Female Fronted” is a genre anyway?
    CHORUS
    Seem like everywhere I go, everybody wanna know
    What’s it like to be a girl, in the music world
    Wanna make it disappear, tell them what they wanna hear,
    If truth ain't pretty will you all stay with me
    Will you love me, love me ugly
    And I know it’s not fair, and I can’t complain,
    'Cause with girl in our band, people don’t look away
    But you know what, it feels like they look just a little too long
    stare me up and down, forget to listen to the song
    I take the stage and before I even open my mouth, the audience assumes that they got us all figured out
    "Oh your band’s got a chick, must be some kinda trick,
    there’s no way she got this far without sucking somebody's"
    Did you really think that’s how it works, I’m not fucking eye candy
    I’m here to do my job, I’ll be the last man standing
    Boys in the crowd asking, for me to flash them, well here you go, news flash: You’re ignorant and that’s that
    I bet you’d never say that to your little sister
    The media’s got you all jacked up, little mister
    'Cause girls in my position can perpetuate the cycle
    walking a tightrope, don’t know which way to go
    Hypersexualize, or downplay your femininity
    Dress like the dudes, or pray to God that you’re pretty
    Are you kidding me? And I don’t even know who’s to blame
    Beauty sells, I buy it too, I’m trying to sell it back it you.
    CHORUS
    So tell me, what’s a woman to do - no, scratch that -
    Tell me what’s a human being to with the fact that
    What gets us ahead just holds us back more?
    Is a level playing field too much to ask for?
    And I know that by saying it, I'm bringing attention
    To an issue that might be better left unmentioned -
    but someone's gotta say it, gotta call out the scene
    the scene is obscene, my sanity's split at the seams
    So to all of ya’ll making this just about ass and tits
    here to set the record straight, it don’t gotta be this way
    We can change the game, rearrange the way to fame
    And make a bigger deal about the talent than the face
    See I got little girls watching me, wanting to be like me,
    And I wanna show them that they don’t gotta be like me
    They can do their own thing, they can rewrite the rules
    They can get respect without acting like fools
    So lets not make it harder than it has to be
    I’ll keep making music, you stop asking me
    What’s it like to be a girl in the entertainment world,
    'Cause now you know

      +iconforhire Not meaning to criticise your choice in name for your group of fans, but wouldn't calling them 'Iconics' be a little nicer and more unique? Seems a lot of groups use the 'army' description and I guess I've just always disliked it.
      But in the end it's not about what we are called, but the appreciation of the music you produce and this one resonates due to its incredibly organic lyrics on an issue more often than not rammed down peoples throats when addressed. It's refreshing to see it be addressed (as of course it needs to be) in the right way. I look forward to seeing you guys live again someday. Hopefully headlining rather than supporting too!

      Family Force 5 and Rapture Ruckus have end credits in their videos, as does The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus in the video for "Am I the Enemy". End credits to music videos are more common than you think. You'll just never see them in a video that's on VEVO, which pretty much dominates music videos on CZcams.

    alot of women are missing the point of this song, saying crap like "I'm not like other girls, I don't flaunt my ass." you're proving the point of the song actually. everyone's focused on what the girl is doing.
    Is she being 'slutty'? Is she dressing 'respectively'? Does she act like a man or is she nice and polite?
    don't think you're special because you like sweatshirts. don't think you're basic because you like skirts and jewelry. There are no guidelines with being a girl, just wear what you want and don't concern yourself with what other people wear. it doesn't matter. it doesn't. so don't let men think you have to be different, and that being a 'normal girl' is something to be ashamed of.

    • @urbertshock9700
      @urbertshock9700 Před 7 lety +28

      Spinny And yet you have also missed the point, nowhere in the song does it specifically mention men being the ones saying this stuff to women, it's not about a gender war, it's saying everyone is equal so you shouldn't "judge a book by its cover"

    • @alyssagarrett6921
      @alyssagarrett6921 Před 7 lety +26

      Please re-read original post because it focuses on what women were saying to women and only said men once at the end for something else. Also, not to be rude, but it is about gender. Completely. This song is about gender. the opening line is "What it's like to be a girl in the music world." Almost every line is about women. You kind of contradicted yourself too at the end basically saying it's not a gender war, it's about both genders being equal. Unless you meant gender war being something other than what I thought you meant. But if that's the case then, again, my original post wasn't about men either.

    • @ilexater9556
      @ilexater9556 Před 6 lety +6

      normal is a mathmatical concept that has infected society, and it's entirely unattainable. Normal for me is wildly off from normal for any other humanoid out there, and trying to define ones self by that standard is actually abnormal in every sense of the term. Normal girls simply don't exist- the paradox behind the concept ensures that it remains that way perpetually. Rather than striving for a false ideal that is simultaneously impossible and will ensure endless misery, go out and be yourself until it no longer feels like a daily battle.

    • @YuYuYuna_
      @YuYuYuna_ Před 7 lety +5

      Honestly they just wanted to try out a style not comparative their normal rock sound in which they were constricted to being on a label whereas now they are independent. I'm sure that factored into it somewhere but to think that the sole reason they made this song is for that reason alone is fairly cynical.

    Just because they are trying new sounds and styles doesn't mean they have abandoned the other. They didn't change, they are just trying new things. I wish more people could understand that. Not saying that you have to like this song, I am just saying..respect their creativity.

    • @LuigiBull33
      @LuigiBull33 Před 8 lety

      @michelledawn7446 Před 8 lety +15

      I mean they haven't changed as people or sold out. Their songs are still inspirational and have good lyrical quality. Also, they have experimented with different sounds but they are planning to go back to their signature.

    • @LuigiBull33
      @LuigiBull33 Před 8 lety +1

      +Taylor Bricker Well I sure hope so.. Their lyrics still remain great and inspirational but the music alone just doesn't stand out the way their previous works did.. They're ok but I find some of their newer songs quite boring.. The lyrics are what keep me listening while I continue to patiently wait for their true ICONIC sound.

    Thank you Icon For Hire for making a song that states what I've been teaching my daughters and my son since they were little... be who you choose, don't conform to the world's ideals, and show them what you can do in spite of them. The mass media is horrible when it come to the image of a lady. I'm still deeply scarred by the way I was shaped into thinking my appearance is my most valuable asset, when I have so much more in me that makes me who I am. I'm always sickened to my core when I hear guys drooling over the way a female singer looks, they never even think about how they're judging her and not even considering the work she put into her talent or into the song.

      +Keori Katsumi Tooth & Nail was not only limiting them on what they could or couldn't say, they were also screwing them. They were not paying them, the white vinyl that the label released...the band had NO idea and were not told about it, and seen NONE of the money from it. The label was not helping them at all, and expected the band to pay THEM before they were gonna be allowed to record any more music or videos. That is why is had been so long since they made a video. So they wanted out for a while, and finally got out the middle of last year, and then recorded the EP right away, then did Warped tour, and now a new video, and have a new album coming pretty soon...so getting away from the label was the best thing for them.

      The problem here is not "catchiness" or the message, but a vast majority of folks (like myself), love the 'rock and roll' Icon for Hire. And although a HUGE percentage of music listeners, listen to a band because they have a particular sound. Which is exactly why I stopped listening to Paramore, while the band is amazing, I don't listen to pop because I don't care for it. And although Icon is exploring their creativity and expanding their audience, they WILL lose listeners who don't enjoy this type of music. For example, Jay-Z has millions and millions of fans, but I think he sucks balls. (that last sentence has nothing to do with any of this, I just like saying that "Jay-Z sucks balls"

    • @cacharadon7460
      @cacharadon7460 Před 8 lety +6

      +Nick Colley you don't seem to understand how statements made from positions of power can affect how those statements are perceived. What would you think if a teacher told one of his/her students that they were hot? How would your reaction change if it was the student that tells the teacher that they find him/her hot? It's the same deal here. For all our progress, men are still seen as the dominant gender. It's why an ugly man can sell himself based on his vocal chords or talents but and ugly woman is laughed off the stage. There needs to be a certain standard of appearance when you are an entertainer, but you can't deny the fact that the discrepancy with which those standards are applied across the gender spectrum is anything but progressive.

    • @nickcolley3898
      @nickcolley3898 Před 8 lety +5

      Send me a video of an ugly woman being laughed off the stage. The fact of the matter is that women claim they want equality but still want to be treated like little princesses too. You can't have it both ways. Your Third Wave Feminism ruins the workplace, creating environments where women are hired for their gender and not their minds or talents. Most of the gender discrepancies as far as societal standards go are placed by other women, not men. But ugly women need something to blame I guess. Go dye your armpit hair pink or something.

      +Akasha Seijouruu "Who cares? It's good music"
      Define good music, I think Melodic death metal and Thrash metal is good music but most people don't think that's good music. When people complain about her new music, it's because they don't like pop or electro pop. People have a right to complain about her new music because they started off as a hard rock band, so her rock fans won't like her new music because it's not rock. It's not something they like.
      So by saying "Who cares? It's good music" is retarded. Not everyone is going to think your taste or my taste in music is good. Her new music is so different that most rock fans won't like.

      @barbievale Před 7 lety +43

      David Fischer Women do whatever they want with their bodies. If they want to make profit off of it, it should be because THEY want it. The issue is the oversexualization of every walking female. The issue is seeing women as objects instead as just people. A person not any less or superior than you. Just. A fucking. person. To stop treating them like they're all that different. That's the issue. I thought it was obvious. Just because you're uncomfortable with questioning yourself, doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist. It's true that females in order to be recognized, specially in the entertainment world, they gotta work extra harder if they don't want to exploit their bodies. That's a reality.
