"Breaking the Mould; the Ballad of Bluesy Bella" - Bluegrass vs Blues mashup (Verse 1 – Bluegrass) Well, they saw her walkin’ in with a fire in her soul, Bluesy Bella, baby, got a voice to take control. But the suits in the corner just turned up their nose, Couldn’t see past her curves, couldn’t hear the heart that she shows. She sang her blues and strummed her strings, But they wanted her to fit their narrow thing. She’s too bold, too loud, too real to tame, They’d never see the queen inside the frame. (Chorus – Bluegrass) Oh, Bluesy Bella, they can’t hear your sound, With their enormous Egos blocking you from breaking ground. Nashville’s a town where the women don’t win, But you’ll knock them all down, if they turn up their Chins! (Verse 2 – Blues) Down in Producers Row, it’s the same ol’ song, Where the men in charge claim that you don't belong. They say, "Pretty girl, you gotta lose some weight," But Bella won’t shrink to fit their hate. She’s got a voice like a freight train rollin’, But all they see is a woman, and they just start scoldin’. “You gotta wear high heeled boots and a skin-tight dress,” But Bella don’t need to glam up to impress. (Chorus – Blues) Oh, Bluesy Bella, they just don’t know, That the fire in your heart can steal the show. Nashville’s full of men who just can’t see, You’re not too big, but bold, and free. (Bridge – Bluegrass & Blues, overlapping) (Bluegrass:) They tried to cage your voice, tried to tame your fire, But you stood your ground, and refused to retire. (Blues:) You’re a woman in a man’s world, but baby, you shine, A force of nature, that they can’t define. (Verse 3 – Bluegrass) They say, “Stick to the bar and just sing the hits,” But Bella’s too real for those shallow bits. She’s got a dream, and she’s got a plan, And it’s bigger than any slick suited man. (Chorus – Bluegrass) Oh, Bluesy Bella, let your voice take flight, Break through that glass ceiling and spread your Light. Nashville’s a place where the big egos play, But you’ll rise up, girl, come what may! (Outro – Blues) So they can hate, and they can doubt, But Bluesy Bella’s gonna scream and shout, Her sound’s too rich, too deep to deny, And one day, they’ll see her reach the sky. (Fading) Bluesy Bella’s got the blues, and the blues will set her free… She's a Force to reckon with... to Inspire You and Me.
