On a gloomy April afternoon, the singer-songwriter welcomed yet another interlocutor to the recording studio she built atop a horse stable here, with a palette stretching from tan to brown and vintage signs advertising gasoline and perfume hanging above the wood and leather. Crow didn’t have creative control over the project, though her manager is one of its producers, and she seized her opportunity to forcefully answer questions that have long tailed her regarding authorship and ambition, and explain just how hard she has had to fight in a music industry where she didn’t fit into a neat box. It’s the latest in a wave of music films - some made by artists, themselves others by more objective outsiders - that serve as correctives, uncovering the chauvinism and other challenges that plagued musicians during eras when women couldn’t speak openly about harassment and mental health.
That will change on May 6, when “Sheryl,” a documentary directed by Amy Scott, arrives on Showtime. And I am who I am.”Īnd so Crow, who has spent three decades gamely relaying her story to others, has never known for sure how it’s been told. And after that I was like, you know what, nothing is worth that. “It killed me,” she said, her voice rising an octave. A Rolling Stone magazine was on the seat next to her, and she discovered an “ugly” article about herself. She gave into temptation once, on an airplane. While she has done hundreds of interviews and been the topic of plenty of other coverage, she stopped looking at most of it around 1996, when she released her second album. Crow’s career began in the 1990s, when success was hitched to behemoths like major labels and radio, and the most direct line to fans came via MTV and the often sexist press. She confirmed this with a genial wince, but it wasn’t a surprise (or a bluff). She was living alone for the first time.NASHVILLE - Sheryl Crow is not going to read this story. This was because she had moved out of her parent's house and into her own apartment. Now, all they can think about was how good of a slayer I should be.Īt the end of the song, Taylor sings about being in her own apartment. I never had the pressure of 'being the greatest slayer alive' and my parents ACTUALLY cared about what I did with my life. Life was so much better when I was a child. Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown upĪnd even though you want to, please try to never grow up So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
It's so much colder that I thought it would be I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone Remember the footsteps, remember the words saidĪnd all your little brother's favorite songs Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarredĪnd even though you want to, just try to never grow up You're in the car on the way to the moviesĪnd you're mortified your mom's dropping you offĪnd you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shotsīut don't make her drop you off around the blockĪnd don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regretĭon't you ever grow up, just stay this littleĭon't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
