“Savage Daughter” is a cover recorded by Sarah Hester Ross of “I Am My Mothers Savage Daughter” written by Karen L Unrein/Wyndreth Berginsdottir c. 1990
This song makes us all sisters, no matter what color, nationality, race. Can you imagine how strong we could be if we joined hands and sang this together.
That’s exactly how I feel about this song. I felt how you meant it in your statement. What do you call someone that’s not an orphan but gave up on you at the age of 5? This song helps me cope.
I sing this to honor my great-grandmother, Edythe Pearl Young. Born in 1898, the first woman welder in the USA during WW1, outlived 3 husbands, died aged 90. Rest in power my dear.
My daughter sent me this. She's been thru so much. I hope she never lowers her voice. She is strong, beautiful, creative, amazing, and I am so thankful for her.
It's 01.51 at night. I learned that my mother, who had been treated for cancer for 2 years, was in critical condition and was taken to the intensive care unit. When I learned this, I was on the campus of my university in a distant city. My mother very much wanted me to attend classes. I did my best for this for two years. I'm on my way now and I'm going to her. I will walk into that room between death and life and whisper in my mother's ear that I love her so much. It made me happy to discover this song in such difficult times. Because it gives me strength. I will live my life to the fullest for my mother. 13/05/2022
Sending love and hugs to you. Thinking of you from someone in England Sheffield. I will pray for you and strength. You are your mothers daughter do her proud and go forward in this life knowing you are strong and loved 💗💗💗💗
I dunno why but I cried. To all women across the globe, peace be upon you. To all mothers and daughters, those who are in pain and are strong, peace be upon you.
All these comments. Bless all the women here with different stories! Not all mothers are motherly in the slightest. As a daughter who went against her mother’s “beliefs” what’s normal. Narcissistic abusive behaviour with substance abuse. I decided to put myself first. Speak up for what’s right. Love everyone deeply and be accepting. I’ve strengthened the relationship with my family & father because she didn’t want me to have any of it. I got positive friends, became sober & clean. I started focusing on my hobbies & passions. My love for writing and cinema grew. I love this anthem of powerful healing. I might be a bit savage & I’ll never be quiet again. I won’t sacrifice my boundaries again in order to make someone feel comfortable.
I am my mother's savage daughter I will not cut my hair nor play the games she wants to play... narcissistic cruelty the give and take of her love/affections is crazy, I'm 60 and she is 83 and isn't talking to me once again... this lady/ my mom thinks everyone want's her if you know what I mean...
My mother passed away from a heart attack when I two years old and she was only 26 years old. Her mom raised me and I learned just how tumultuous my grandmother’s life was, I laid my grandma to rest in 2013. This song reminded me that they haven’t left my side and they are with me during my darkest hours. Thank you for this beautiful song. I am Eva and Ernestine’s savage daughter.
This song is how I found you. Someone had it as their background song on tiktok or something. It's just as magical the first time you hear it as it is on the 200th time.
I'm navajo and this song brings me back to so much. My great grandmother was full native. Wishing so bad I was able to go back to my roots like I want too. Lovely song
For every daughter that was misunderstood, I hope that one they (if you choose to have children) your daughter will see "you're just like your mother" as a compliment and be proud to be a person like you
I am thankfully the mother of an adult daughter absolutely is grateful for the mother that she has. And she makes it so clear that she loves me and just glad that I was very much a savage daughter in the way that I did things thanks to my dad who adopted me and was a career Navy man who happened to be part Cherokee. Now she has become that mother.
That's lovely and I'm happy for you. I feel that my mom was the one in the song, and I push away from her ways. Forced to have long hair, I want short and I want to be calm and quiet. Hehe, interesting huh~
My mother died when I was 8, so three years ago, to brain cancer. I love this song so much because I am so much like her. She was a theatre kid, and I am doing my first ever show next month. I hope that she'd be proud of how far I have come.
I am so sorry for your loss dear. I have a daughter who is at the same age you are. I sincerely hope you the best and i really hope that you achieve all your dreams in your life. I am sure your lovely Mother is watching you from heaven with love, pride and joy. I wish you happiness, health and peace for all your life ❤ you will always be your mothers princess, never forget that ❤
I am not a woman, but this song still speaks to me on a level that I cannot even begin to accurately describe. Nature holds a power far beyond what many believe, and if wanting to be a part of that makes people savage, then by all means own the word and be your best self. My mother taught me to be one with the natural world, to respect it and to live with it, rather than attempt to control or stifle it. I'll hold these words close to my heart forever. I am my mother's savage child.
I am not a mother but a father of two wild daughter. I want them to be wild and free. I can feel some connection to this song I want my children to be proud of the ppl who came before them. Also to chart their own course and I will support them!
They cut my mothers hair , taken from home not allowed to speak her language 😒 she's healing her self by telling her story , it's hard to keep those memories she went through and witnessed, Residential school survivors, 💔❤ stay strong mothers
It's hard to keep those sad, hateful memories, but it is SO important for us to remember them and to continue to tell them. To sing them. To show them. We must keep their stories close and grow from them together. I wish this world wasn't so hateful we all bleed red(as well as most creatures), so why can't we just respect and love one another? Why is hate so deeply ingrained. We aren't born to hate it is taught. So we must continue to tell our stories, and we also must continue to listen. (Not saying me specifically I'm part of the damn problem and I recognize that. So I do the listening here, and I will pass the story as well if told it's okay to do so bc I won't tell a story that's not mine to tell without permission)
Lyrics: I am my mother's savage daughter The one who runs barefoot Cursing sharp stones I am my mother's savage daughter I will not cut my hair I will not lower my voice My mother's child is a savage She looks for her omens in the colors of stones In the faces of cats, in the falling of feathers In the dancing of fire In the curve of old bones I am my mother's savage daughter The one who runs barefoot Cursing sharp stones I am my mother's savage daughter I will not cut my hair I will not lower my voice My mother's child dances in darkness She sings heathen songs By the light of the moon And watches the stars and renames the planets And dreams she can reach them With a song and a broom I am my mother's savage daughter The one who runs barefoot Cursing sharp stones I am my mother's savage daughter I will not cut my hair I will not lower my voice We are all brought forth out of darkness Into this world, through blood and through pain And deep in our bones, the old songs are waking So sing them with voices if thunder and rain We are our mother's savage daughters The ones who run barefoot Cursing sharp stones We are our mother's savage daughters We will not cut our hair We will not lower our voice We are our mother's savage daughters The ones who run barefoot Cursing sharp stones We are our mother's savage daughters We will not cut our hair We will not lower our voice We are our mother's savage daughters The ones who run barefoot Cursing sharp stones We are our mother's savage daughters We will not cut our hair We will not lower our voice
I playd this today to my oldest daughter translating the meaning. She loved it snd we talked about womens strenght. New generation of my mother’s lineage is stepping in theyr power soon❤
Today this song is everything. I lost my mother 4 years ago and, tomorrow I must face the Doctor that will tell my father his end of life options and, I MUST ME MY MOTHERS SAVAGE DAUGHTER! Please pray for me 🙏🏻💔
I will be the voice my mother is too afraid to raise, she will not need to be brave for I will be brave enough for us both. Thank you mother for raising me against the odds of violence you lived through
Yes, same. She doesn't despise me but she "prays I come back before it's too late." She insisted on my having long hair like hers, so I want it short. She's dynamic and I want to be still and calm... I still love the song!
My mother was abused, and was an abuser. This song resonates with me so much. She was of Northern Italian and Greek descendants. I recently started to learn about Wicca, and I feel very connected.
There's no way not to connect. It's as if everything was always there, that spark... But, religion as we are used to, monotheism does not embrace the wild in us and in our society.
My mother passed away when I was 2 years old. I might not have known her but I'm the spiting imagine of her. Her father was cherokee and I'm proud that their blood runs in my veins
I had a really challenging childhood. I spent most of my life angry at my mother until I sought out my own healing. As I healed myself, I realized my mother was a traumatized woman who had been unable to heal herself. If she was any different in any way, I wouldn't be who I am. Everything I am, for better or for worse was because of the way my mother was. I've gone from being overwhelmed with anger, sorrow, and grief at the mother I wish I had, to being overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for having a mother whose inability to trust or say "I love you" made me hungry to heal that in future generations. I had no choice but to become hungry to heal. My mother passed away 2 years ago from stage 2 breast cancer, with a 93% survival rate, because she tried to operate on herself and the cancer spread to her lungs. We hadn't spoken for 6 years. I had to make a hard decision to have no contact with her so that i could heal myself. I was the first person to see her after she took her last breath in hospice. She looked like she was barely 50 years old at 69 years, with very little gray. Her hands were still warm when i told her i loved her and shared my heart with her. She passed peacefully, suddenly, not many even knew she was sick. She simply wasn't able to trust anyone else to help her. Thank you for making a song that speaks my heart about being my mother's daughter.
I believe our parents generation was cursed. So many are facing mental problems. Narcissism, bipolar, borderline and just down right evil. Hard times create good people. You'll never forget and it's hard to forgive, I'm glad you did. Hopefully I will eventually like you did.
I am my mother savage daughter, lost her to cancer on 2013. It’s not a day that I don’t remember her and all the pain and 💩 she went through in life. I am your savage daughter and raised one too.
My mother is in the late stages of MS. Her boyfriend is abusive and he took her away from me. My childhood is complicated, but I know my mom loved and continues to love me, even if she didnt always know what choices to make. She never let's me forget that she's proud of me, even though shes losing herself to seizures, strokes and head trauma and we can't see each other in person. This song helps me remember that, and how she raised me to do no harm but take no shit 💕✨️
That's harsh, & I would just make sure she knew what all services were out there to help get her out of that situation, & work on healing herself~(mentally & as physically as possible) "if/when" she's ready. However...I would also let her know that if I were truly concerned for her safety & well-being, that I might &/or would just call APS (Adult Protective Services), & get them involved since she could also have impaired thinking, decision making, et, just based on some of her medical issues, such as the strokes & seizures. And as a critical warning...APS would definitely have to ensure her safety obviously before just dropping by! There are solutions & help out there though for her & her surrounding family members impacted by it! Much luck to you all!
About 10 years ago on Aug 2nd I lost my mother to cancer - she fought hard for more than two years, for nine more months when they told her it would be only days. She even fought after she lost conciousness till we told her it was okay to let go, to be free. She taught me to stand on my own feet, to hold my head up high and to be okay on my own. I love her, I miss her and I am glad and proud to be her daughter.
I found this song right after my mother died, and when I am breaking down, I listen to this song. my mother was an independent, creative, strong, and sensitive badass, who loved faeries and angels, Celtic mythology, and practiced eccentric Wicca, while passing on all of these things to me. this song is my battle cry to fight on when the pain of losing her feels too deep.
This song has such an impact on my life I am 14 and my little sister Evie is 8 she passed away 8 months ago when she was 7 this song came on the radio and she just got really quiet which is unusual for her she likes to talk A LOT but when the song was over she just let out the most heartfelt sigh and went "well... That was a good song" she listened to it for almost a week straight when we were at her bedside waiting for her to be unplugged we listened to this song in the room... She was in a car crash. Whenever I'm sad or remember her or want to remember her I'll just put this song on and it's like everything is just slightly better... Ik it dosent seem to mean much but just thank you for this amazing song it's helped me so much over these past 8 weeks❤
My mom passed in Sept from cancer. We believe she knew she had it and didn't let us know until it was the end and she couldn't hide it anymore. When we were told she lived a month. My mom was something else but I learned about my mom and understood her more than my sisters. I'm the baby and I have a voice and I use it and I can be savage. This song hit me and said you are Jane's savage daughter. I am a little like my momma. ❤️
This song makes me PROUD, to be my mothers daughter!! She was and always will be my super hero.. She loved me for being exactly who I am. The savage, untamable, the willful, the truth speaker!! Thank you.
Found this today and it has moved me in ways I'd not expected. Fills my heart with a fire I'd had forgotten, my soul with a dark wind of much needed change and strength, and in my veins... awakens an energy that I can only imagine was passed down to me through those that came well before me. I think this is a brilliant song that hits on so many levels as many of us were deprived of culture, stripped of our ancestors ways, white-washed and denied even by some of our own families in some instances. I many not be 100% by blood, but my spirit screams 100% Native. And I absolutely Love this song.
A friend my son’s age used this wonderful song as accompaniment for a video celebrating her daughter’s Kinaalda, the Navajo coming of age ceremony. The song needs dancing and rain with it.
Irish Scottish savage daughter. I don’t talk to my mother. But this song makes me feel connected to her. And I break all generational curses. This sheet ends with me. ❤ I am my mother’s savage daughter.
As someone with a disappointing mother.....I believe this song is about mother nature and my ancestors. It connects with me on a deeper level that way. X
Just found out, thru DNA, that I am of more Viking blood, than Native American. I was raised Chickamauga Cherokee but now I can add my bloodlines. They should blend well with my upbringing.
You should check out Heilung. They're well they're something completely different that will speak to your ancestors on both sides. It falls more on the viking side but I've seen comments from native Americans who say it speaks to them too. Look up their meaning too. The female singer they have is trained in dual tone singing & is damn good. Depending which song you get you might be ready to go to war or you might celebrate the females in your line. I've never been a music lover. Or wanted to go to a live concert. But I love this song & I absolutely love Heilung & want to go to their concert.
This makes me so proud listen to this. My great grandmother worked two jobs and raised 8 kids by herself after her husband died. She got every tie knotend and every end met and they still had money left over for personal things.
I needed to hear this so much when I found it...it pulled me out of a darkness I had not known before. I keep this song in my head now...it's like my personal soundtrack
Perfect for today especially. Sing with me! ✊🏻 I am my mother's savage daughter The one who runs barefoot Cursing sharp stones I am my mother's savage daughter I will not cut my hair I will not lower my voice
My mom didn’t have a good mother, a horrible one in fact. I wish she could’ve had the mom I have bc she’s beautiful, caring, strong. The best mother. I sing this for her and she sings it for me. She’s made her ancestors proud, I know I am proud of her and if they’re anything like me or her I know they look fondly on her. I only hope I grow to be the woman she is today. Despite her past, despite how her “parents” treated her she made it, made my siblings and raised a damn proud daughter. I could write a book on her and that wouldn’t be enough.
I just heard this song for the first time sung at an SCA event held at a Norman tower house in Wexford. I had a great time wandering around the campsite barefoot with my hair a tangled mess and wearing my faded old linen tunic, thinking of my own daughter running around streaked in dirt at events, humming to myself. ❤️
This touches my soul. But... I find solace in in giving. Giving my love to my man. Giving love and gentle caresses to him and our children. As a old woman now, I wish for my granddaughters strength to choose their own path... and to never lower their voices.
I am a Pagan that follows the Aesir. I love the feeling of the earth beneath my feet, the rain hitting my body, the high speed winds surrounding me, the sounds of the Thor beating his hammer amongst the clouds and the smells of nature far from the cities. 🖤 I am my mother Savage daughter.
No longer a daughter, but a child. I cut my hair but my voice is no longer lowered. Even though we have trouble understanding each other and her ways are still of the old, she taught me to never back down for anyone. To work for myself because in order to help other, you need to help yourself. Can't wait to walk around barefoot in my own land by my cottage home to play this so loudly that other could feel what other feel when hear this, all daughters, sons and children🌻
Having lost MY MOM recently to cancer, this song makes me stand up and fight. Fight depredsion, sadmess, pain, loneliness, emptiness... While i cannot do it alone, I can do it with her, through her, and for HER.
Love this song. It is me and my mum and my daughter. It celebrates something about women besides being beautiful. We need more song like this! Marvellous!
I found this on Instagram and it made me cry. Listening to the lyrics reminds me of late nights dancing on the dew covered grass with my mom. Before everything went so wrong with my family this was the embodiment of those late nights with my own Wild mother. Catching toads and frogs, rolling down grassy hills, belting out lyrics to our shared songs. Thank you so much for this song
My daughter just sent me thus senseful song. These days we watch Brave Iranians ladies, people, youngsters singing, not this song, but... nobody should even think, imagine can make pur mouths shot. With lots of love to all savage girls shout for " women, life, freedom... with love to you
My lovely little mum passed recently,she was a quiet, unassuming strong and kind woman,we were opposites in so many many ways but she taught from the first time she held me I was special and strong and to be true to myself to never cut my hair(conform) lower my tone(lose/hide myself) that if I was good enough for the creator and her…then I was good enough. I miss my little mum and her wisdom and love
My mom is not supportive of me and she thinks im weird. But i don't care why not be yourself when u can only be yourself once because we only live once this song makes me feel so happy
My best friend succumbed to metastatic breast cancer a little over two weeks ago. She was 41, and she was the most beautiful soul I can ever hope to meet. She was indeed a savage daughter of this world, and she worked tirelessly and graciously to make it a better place for the others living in it. She could not abide the concept of a memorial at which a person is celebrated and cannot be there. A couple of weeks before she left us, her husband and some of her many friends helped her put together a get-together, a kind of live-wake. She thanked everyone who had been a part of her life. It was a celebration of her life and of the community she created. I was blessed to know her, and she will be with me always. Her voice was raised in her actions. Cutting her hair? Well, chemo sort of rendered that moot. Amy, my dear savage sister, you were a foundation of tenacity and empathy. The flames you sparked in those who knew you can never be extinguished.
There's something so intricately beautiful about how we build off the backs and shoulders of our mothers ❤️ may we be savage daughters and may we raise another generation of savage daughters ❤️
I grew up listening to Judy Collins. This sounds like a song that she would sing. This is a beautiful song, sung by someone who sounds a lot like Judy Collins. This is a compliment to Sarah Hester Ross!
My mother was a savage, and she passed it to me, and I hope to pass to my daughter. This is just a reminder to me to make sure that I raise my daughter to be strong, and assertive, and most of all resilient!
When I hear this song it touches something primal in me. It reminds me that we as women must continue to ignore to society's expectations of how women should behave and continue to move forward paving the way for other women as the women who came before paved the way for us. Slaves to free women, midwives to doctors, housewives to CEOs , unable to vote to being Law makers, cooks to michelin starred chefs, no longer chattel, no longer oppressed by the patriarchy. We no longer have to curse the sharp stones of patriarchy, or change ourselves for societies beauty standards or stop using our voices to fight for our place at the table.
I don't know what in this song, brings me to tears most times i listen it.. Most of us who lived outside the cities, into the villages, have been doing this like those in the lyrics.. Running free barefoot, watching the stars in the night, trying to guess shapes of clouds.. And so on.. Just being free and wild.. ❤❤
I have a very horrible birth mother and father. But I feel this song on such a deep level. Maybe it’s all the trauma I’ve endured in my live. I don’t have a “mother”. For now, Mother Earth is my mother as I will fight for her and this song wakes in me my ancestral native side of me and fills me with so much passion and fire. I’m finding my voice.
I'm a witch. My daughter sent this video to me because she knows and appreciates who I am (and who/what her son also might be). It's amazing, has meaning that runs deep to my core.. I listen to it at least once a day. She probably does too lol.
@@federicapapapietro6164 It's like you just know things you can feel from others, my great grandma called it The Shine or just Shine. Seeing deeper, beyond the surface. It's different for everyone. Being an empath, a good witch always. I think we use the word witch for lack of a better word. Some call us Seer. ❤️
I am my mothers Savage Daughter. I will not take the path most followed I will blaze my own trail, just like my mother and my mother's mother before. I will not lower my voice. This song speaks to my soul, to my heart and connects the women in my village
My mother was mad that I was born very obviously native American..what did she expect when she has a child shoshone bannock man? I truly am my mother's savage daughter. I didn't let destroy me. I survived out of spite. And now I LIVE for me ❤
This song is amazing. I am my mother's wild daughter and I call to the ancestors loudly. My mom raised me to be like this, but I am also a mother to those without a mom and always teach. This song is powerful!
I've listened to the original so many times but for some reason this particular version brought me to tears. Wonderful imagery, and such a beautiful voice!

This song makes us all sisters, no matter what color, nationality, race. Can you imagine how strong we could be if we joined hands and sang this together.
I'm down, sister! 🙌🏼🎶🎵💗
I would love that
Please organize it and make it happen. Even a soon to be 60 year old man would see this as reason for hope.
Yessss
I love the image this brought to mind!
My mother is a bad person. This song makes me feel connected in a way I've never been. My mother might not be proud of me, but my ancestors would be
Damn!!!! That's a really powerful statement.
That’s exactly how I feel about this song. I felt how you meant it in your statement. What do you call someone that’s not an orphan but gave up on you at the age of 5? This song helps me cope.
I am your new mom, I'm proud of how much have you accomplished despite the odds and omens. Love you, drink water 💙
This song makes me angry that the woman who gave birth to me doesn't deserve me as a daughter.. I'm my father's beloved wild child instead 💖
We all have a wonderful mother: Mother Earth. 😘
To all the savage daughters out there who are misunderstood by their mothers. Keep being wild. Your ancestors are smiling at you 💜
This comment made me feel less alone. 🖤
Thank you, I survived my mother. I am a savage daughter ❤️🖤❤️
I cryer when I read these words same here
Thank you. This makes me feel good about my path in life.
@@Nikkiluvs_who I'm so glad 💞
I sing this to honor my great-grandmother, Edythe Pearl Young. Born in 1898, the first woman welder in the USA during WW1, outlived 3 husbands, died aged 90. Rest in power my dear.
Absolute boss lady!!!!
Rest in power, Edythe. ♥️
Now that's what I call a boss lady 👏👏👏
My grandmothers maiden name is also gamble
Strong women rule the world - from another woman welder!
My daughter sent me this. She's been thru so much. I hope she never lowers her voice. She is strong, beautiful, creative, amazing, and I am so thankful for her.
you and your daughter’s relationship sounds really nice. happy for you both.
I wish all the happiness and inner peace to your daughter ❤️
I hope she never lowers her voice either.
God bless you and your savage daughter
This is such a beautiful message. I hope you share it with her.
This is my Daughter's song. I lost my wild child in July. She was 25. I miss her every day and night 🌙
I lost my wild savage daughter at 25 years old-many years ago. This song is for our savage daughters. Our beautiful daughters. ❤
@@LynneC44 So sorry
I wish you as much peace as is possible today. I wish you more peace tomorrow.
I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm sorry 💜 Do you mind if I ask what happened?
It's 01.51 at night. I learned that my mother, who had been treated for cancer for 2 years, was in critical condition and was taken to the intensive care unit. When I learned this, I was on the campus of my university in a distant city. My mother very much wanted me to attend classes. I did my best for this for two years. I'm on my way now and I'm going to her. I will walk into that room between death and life and whisper in my mother's ear that I love her so much. It made me happy to discover this song in such difficult times. Because it gives me strength. I will live my life to the fullest for my mother. 13/05/2022
That was so touching and beautifully written. I wish strength through your journey.
Beautiful honoring of your sacred bond. Bless you both ❤
How are you doing ? Will pray to god to give you all the strength... Jus keep holding your mothers hand as long as possible dear ♥️
Huggs.
Sending love and hugs to you. Thinking of you from someone in England Sheffield. I will pray for you and strength. You are your mothers daughter do her proud and go forward in this life knowing you are strong and loved 💗💗💗💗
I dunno why but I cried. To all women across the globe, peace be upon you. To all mothers and daughters, those who are in pain and are strong, peace be upon you.
This makes me cry too but in such a cleansing and powerful way!! This song unites us as sisters across the globe and time❤
Blessed Be❣️
My savage daughter left this earth this year at 36 years old. Far too soon. I miss her terribly. 😢
Hugs. I hope I never can relate.🥰
All these comments. Bless all the women here with different stories! Not all mothers are motherly in the slightest. As a daughter who went against her mother’s “beliefs” what’s normal. Narcissistic abusive behaviour with substance abuse. I decided to put myself first. Speak up for what’s right. Love everyone deeply and be accepting. I’ve strengthened the relationship with my family & father because she didn’t want me to have any of it. I got positive friends, became sober & clean. I started focusing on my hobbies & passions. My love for writing and cinema grew. I love this anthem of powerful healing. I might be a bit savage & I’ll never be quiet again. I won’t sacrifice my boundaries again in order to make someone feel comfortable.
I am my mother's savage daughter I will not cut my hair nor play the games she wants to play... narcissistic cruelty the give and take of her love/affections is crazy, I'm 60 and she is 83 and isn't talking to me once again... this lady/ my mom thinks everyone want's her if you know what I mean...

God bless both of their souls and yours too savage daughter

This song is how I found you. Someone had it as their background song on tiktok or something. It's just as magical the first time you hear it as it is on the 200th time.
100% Same!
Actually I was on Facebook and heard it on a really nice video of the wind blowing leaves
I 💯 agree and I to heard it on tiktok and had to find it. I love it . Can't stop listening to it
Same here, lovley song
Haha, same 😅
I'm navajo and this song brings me back to so much. My great grandmother was full native. Wishing so bad I was able to go back to my roots like I want too. Lovely song
Diné, no?
This song isn't a native song, it's pegan.
@@anyastasia-db5kt and it’s a modern song
@@anyastasia-db5ktSo?
Frickin' gorgeous, best version I've heard. Perhaps it is a "heathen" song? Who cares, it is definitely for all of us, a "woman song"🖤
For every daughter that was misunderstood, I hope that one they (if you choose to have children) your daughter will see "you're just like your mother" as a compliment and be proud to be a person like you
I am thankfully the mother of an adult daughter absolutely is grateful for the mother that she has. And she makes it so clear that she loves me and just glad that I was very much a savage daughter in the way that I did things thanks to my dad who adopted me and was a career Navy man who happened to be part Cherokee. Now she has become that mother.
That's lovely and I'm happy for you. I feel that my mom was the one in the song, and I push away from her ways. Forced to have long hair, I want short and I want to be calm and quiet. Hehe, interesting huh~
Misunderstood traducir
This is for the women in my life whose voices were never heard. We are breaking these generational chains one daughter at a time. 🙌🏼
My mother died when I was 8, so three years ago, to brain cancer. I love this song so much because I am so much like her. She was a theatre kid, and I am doing my first ever show next month. I hope that she'd be proud of how far I have come.
I am so sorry for your loss dear. I have a daughter who is at the same age you are. I sincerely hope you the best and i really hope that you achieve all your dreams in your life. I am sure your lovely Mother is watching you from heaven with love, pride and joy. I wish you happiness, health and peace for all your life ❤ you will always be your mothers princess, never forget that ❤
@@serrakoker Thank you so much. The same goes to you and your daughter. ❤️❤️❤️
@@meepmorpmi I hope you are well
@@heymisamisa7019 thank you so much. I'm doing great at the moment!
I know she would be very proud of you.
My mother cut my hair and stole my voice. I raised my daughter to be strong and speak loudly. I am so proud of who she is.
❤
I am not a woman, but this song still speaks to me on a level that I cannot even begin to accurately describe. Nature holds a power far beyond what many believe, and if wanting to be a part of that makes people savage, then by all means own the word and be your best self.
My mother taught me to be one with the natural world, to respect it and to live with it, rather than attempt to control or stifle it. I'll hold these words close to my heart forever.
I am my mother's savage child.
Beautiful💗
Wow, I just found your message your momma is a great woman who raised a great man
I am not a mother but a father of two wild daughter. I want them to be wild and free. I can feel some connection to this song I want my children to be proud of the ppl who came before them. Also to chart their own course and I will support them!
This is, my soon to be 36 year old redheaded
"Savage Daughter" !!!
She is freaking remarkable!
Thank you, God for her in my life!
Mothers are the ocean rivers come from and return to.
They cut my mothers hair , taken from home not allowed to speak her language 😒 she's healing her self by telling her story , it's hard to keep those memories she went through and witnessed, Residential school survivors, 💔❤ stay strong mothers
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌎
Goddess bless your mother for her strength and perseverance. You must be proud of her blood in your veins.
Respect to your mother.
❤❤❤❤❤
It's hard to keep those sad, hateful memories, but it is SO important for us to remember them and to continue to tell them. To sing them. To show them. We must keep their stories close and grow from them together.
I wish this world wasn't so hateful we all bleed red(as well as most creatures), so why can't we just respect and love one another? Why is hate so deeply ingrained. We aren't born to hate it is taught. So we must continue to tell our stories, and we also must continue to listen. (Not saying me specifically I'm part of the damn problem and I recognize that. So I do the listening here, and I will pass the story as well if told it's okay to do so bc I won't tell a story that's not mine to tell without permission)
Lyrics:
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair
I will not lower my voice
My mother's child is a savage
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones
In the faces of cats, in the falling of feathers
In the dancing of fire
In the curve of old bones
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair
I will not lower my voice
My mother's child dances in darkness
She sings heathen songs
By the light of the moon
And watches the stars and renames the planets
And dreams she can reach them
With a song and a broom
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair
I will not lower my voice
We are all brought forth out of darkness
Into this world, through blood and through pain
And deep in our bones, the old songs are waking
So sing them with voices if thunder and rain
We are our mother's savage daughters
The ones who run barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
We are our mother's savage daughters
We will not cut our hair
We will not lower our voice
We are our mother's savage daughters
The ones who run barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
We are our mother's savage daughters
We will not cut our hair
We will not lower our voice
We are our mother's savage daughters
The ones who run barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
We are our mother's savage daughters
We will not cut our hair
We will not lower our voice
Thank you. 🥰
❤️
Beautiful!
Thank you!!
Awesome song even to this dad
I playd this today to my oldest daughter translating the meaning. She loved it snd we talked about womens strenght. New generation of my mother’s lineage is stepping in theyr power soon❤
Today this song is everything. I lost my mother 4 years ago and, tomorrow I must face the Doctor that will tell my father his end of life options and, I MUST ME MY MOTHERS SAVAGE DAUGHTER! Please pray for me 🙏🏻💔
I sing this for my grannie. To dust she has returned. Her blood runs warm through me. And now my daughter. 😭🔥🔥🔥
I will be the voice my mother is too afraid to raise, she will not need to be brave for I will be brave enough for us both. Thank you mother for raising me against the odds of violence you lived through
My mother was the savage daughter and she loved this song I'm glad I shared this with her months before her passing.
I was raised catholic.. my mother despises me for changing my faith, so for my future daughter and my spiritual ancestors this song is for you ♥️
Catholic is the old ways with a thin veneer
I am proud of you.
I'm Catholic and love this song.
Yes, same. She doesn't despise me but she "prays I come back before it's too late." She insisted on my having long hair like hers, so I want it short. She's dynamic and I want to be still and calm...
I still love the song!
😢😢😢
As a Celt I found a song that sings to my blood.❤
My mother was abused, and was an abuser. This song resonates with me so much. She was of Northern Italian and Greek descendants.
I recently started to learn about Wicca, and I feel very connected.
There's no way not to connect. It's as if everything was always there, that spark... But, religion as we are used to, monotheism does not embrace the wild in us and in our society.
My mother passed away when I was 2 years old. I might not have known her but I'm the spiting imagine of her. Her father was cherokee and I'm proud that their blood runs in my veins
I had a really challenging childhood. I spent most of my life angry at my mother until I sought out my own healing. As I healed myself, I realized my mother was a traumatized woman who had been unable to heal herself. If she was any different in any way, I wouldn't be who I am. Everything I am, for better or for worse was because of the way my mother was. I've gone from being overwhelmed with anger, sorrow, and grief at the mother I wish I had, to being overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for having a mother whose inability to trust or say "I love you" made me hungry to heal that in future generations. I had no choice but to become hungry to heal. My mother passed away 2 years ago from stage 2 breast cancer, with a 93% survival rate, because she tried to operate on herself and the cancer spread to her lungs. We hadn't spoken for 6 years. I had to make a hard decision to have no contact with her so that i could heal myself. I was the first person to see her after she took her last breath in hospice. She looked like she was barely 50 years old at 69 years, with very little gray. Her hands were still warm when i told her i loved her and shared my heart with her. She passed peacefully, suddenly, not many even knew she was sick. She simply wasn't able to trust anyone else to help her. Thank you for making a song that speaks my heart about being my mother's daughter.
Don't let her passing make you feel you need to heal again you did everything rite
I believe our parents generation was cursed. So many are facing mental problems. Narcissism, bipolar, borderline and just down right evil. Hard times create good people. You'll never forget and it's hard to forgive, I'm glad you did. Hopefully I will eventually like you did.
I am my mother savage daughter, lost her to cancer on 2013. It’s not a day that I don’t remember her and all the pain and 💩 she went through in life. I am your savage daughter and raised one too.
My mother is in the late stages of MS. Her boyfriend is abusive and he took her away from me. My childhood is complicated, but I know my mom loved and continues to love me, even if she didnt always know what choices to make. She never let's me forget that she's proud of me, even though shes losing herself to seizures, strokes and head trauma and we can't see each other in person. This song helps me remember that, and how she raised me to do no harm but take no shit 💕✨️
That's harsh, & I would just make sure she knew what all services were out there to help get her out of that situation, & work on healing herself~(mentally & as physically as possible) "if/when" she's ready. However...I would also let her know that if I were truly concerned for her safety & well-being, that I might &/or would just call APS (Adult Protective Services), & get them involved since she could also have impaired thinking, decision making, et, just based on some of her medical issues, such as the strokes & seizures. And as a critical warning...APS would definitely have to ensure her safety obviously before just dropping by! There are solutions & help out there though for her & her surrounding family members impacted by it! Much luck to you all!
About 10 years ago on Aug 2nd I lost my mother to cancer - she fought hard for more than two years, for nine more months when they told her it would be only days. She even fought after she lost conciousness till we told her it was okay to let go, to be free. She taught me to stand on my own feet, to hold my head up high and to be okay on my own. I love her, I miss her and I am glad and proud to be her daughter.
I found this song right after my mother died, and when I am breaking down, I listen to this song. my mother was an independent, creative, strong, and sensitive badass, who loved faeries and angels, Celtic mythology, and practiced eccentric Wicca, while passing on all of these things to me. this song is my battle cry to fight on when the pain of losing her feels too deep.
This song has such an impact on my life I am 14 and my little sister Evie is 8 she passed away 8 months ago when she was 7 this song came on the radio and she just got really quiet which is unusual for her she likes to talk A LOT but when the song was over she just let out the most heartfelt sigh and went "well... That was a good song" she listened to it for almost a week straight when we were at her bedside waiting for her to be unplugged we listened to this song in the room... She was in a car crash. Whenever I'm sad or remember her or want to remember her I'll just put this song on and it's like everything is just slightly better... Ik it dosent seem to mean much but just thank you for this amazing song it's helped me so much over these past 8 weeks❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My mom passed in Sept from cancer. We believe she knew she had it and didn't let us know until it was the end and she couldn't hide it anymore. When we were told she lived a month. My mom was something else but I learned about my mom and understood her more than my sisters. I'm the baby and I have a voice and I use it and I can be savage. This song hit me and said you are Jane's savage daughter. I am a little like my momma. ❤️
This song makes me PROUD, to be my mothers daughter!! She was and always will be my super hero.. She loved me for being exactly who I am. The savage, untamable, the willful, the truth speaker!! Thank you.
so much Grace
This will be song of my life. I will want the women who come after me to sing it around a fire in a forest under a full moon.
Found this today and it has moved me in ways I'd not expected. Fills my heart with a fire I'd had forgotten, my soul with a dark wind of much needed change and strength, and in my veins... awakens an energy that I can only imagine was passed down to me through those that came well before me. I think this is a brilliant song that hits on so many levels as many of us were deprived of culture, stripped of our ancestors ways, white-washed and denied even by some of our own families in some instances. I many not be 100% by blood, but my spirit screams 100% Native. And I absolutely Love this song.
A friend my son’s age used this wonderful song as accompaniment for a video celebrating her daughter’s Kinaalda, the Navajo coming of age ceremony. The song needs dancing and rain with it.
I play this when I need mental strength….
At times, I play it before doing spell work.
Same girl. We got this.
To the savage daughter I was not able to bring into this world. May we run free together in the next life.
An anthem for the times ❤
For my grandma and great grandma, who lived hard, desperate lives through hard desperate times yet stood tall, strong and proud.
Fortunate is the man that is worthy enough that one of these wonderful women choses to love him.
Can't stop crying. Thank you. I feel free and powerful.
Found this today.
So needed it. I will not lower my voice.
Irish Scottish savage daughter. I don’t talk to my mother. But this song makes me feel connected to her. And I break all generational curses. This sheet ends with me. ❤ I am my mother’s savage daughter.
As someone with a disappointing mother.....I believe this song is about mother nature and my ancestors. It connects with me on a deeper level that way. X
Just found out, thru DNA, that I am of more Viking blood, than Native American. I was raised Chickamauga Cherokee but now I can add my bloodlines. They should blend well with my upbringing.
You should check out Heilung. They're well they're something completely different that will speak to your ancestors on both sides.
It falls more on the viking side but I've seen comments from native Americans who say it speaks to them too.
Look up their meaning too.
The female singer they have is trained in dual tone singing & is damn good.
Depending which song you get you might be ready to go to war or you might celebrate the females in your line.
I've never been a music lover. Or wanted to go to a live concert.
But I love this song & I absolutely love Heilung & want to go to their concert.
This makes me so proud listen to this. My great grandmother worked two jobs and raised 8 kids by herself after her husband died. She got every tie knotend and every end met and they still had money left over for personal things.
Speaking as a dad. I am ever so proud of my savage daughter. She is a brave and triumphant shield maiden.
This song wakes a fire inside me every time i hear it! Absolutely magical!
I needed to hear this so much when I found it...it pulled me out of a darkness I had not known before. I keep this song in my head now...it's like my personal soundtrack
I just heard this song on Instagram, and now it's engrained in my head, it's awesome!!!
Perfect for today especially. Sing with me! ✊🏻
I am my mother's savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot
Cursing sharp stones
I am my mother's savage daughter
I will not cut my hair
I will not lower my voice
literally just started tearing up. This is so powerful.
My mom didn’t have a good mother, a horrible one in fact. I wish she could’ve had the mom I have bc she’s beautiful, caring, strong. The best mother. I sing this for her and she sings it for me. She’s made her ancestors proud, I know I am proud of her and if they’re anything like me or her I know they look fondly on her. I only hope I grow to be the woman she is today. Despite her past, despite how her “parents” treated her she made it, made my siblings and raised a damn proud daughter.
I could write a book on her and that wouldn’t be enough.
Yes, We are our Mother's Savage Daughters... Happy Mother's Day!
I found this from Spotify while listening to similar songs of the Sea Shanty. Although I'm a guy, this feels incredibly powerful
I just heard this song for the first time sung at an SCA event held at a Norman tower house in Wexford.
I had a great time wandering around the campsite barefoot with my hair a tangled mess and wearing my faded old linen tunic, thinking of my own daughter running around streaked in dirt at events, humming to myself. ❤️
This touches my soul. But... I find solace in in giving. Giving my love to my man. Giving love and gentle caresses to him and our children. As a old woman now, I wish for my granddaughters strength to choose their own path... and to never lower their voices.
I had a great momma. She made sure that I was her savage daughter. I miss you and I love you momma!❤❤❤❤❤
I am a Pagan that follows the Aesir. I love the feeling of the earth beneath my feet, the rain hitting my body, the high speed winds surrounding me, the sounds of the Thor beating his hammer amongst the clouds and the smells of nature far from the cities. 🖤 I am my mother Savage daughter.
An anthem my 4 yr old granddaughter will sing to her mama, my awesome daughter, Amber, as described perfectly in this song. ❤️❤❤❤
No longer a daughter, but a child.
I cut my hair but my voice is no longer lowered.
Even though we have trouble understanding each other and her ways are still of the old, she taught me to never back down for anyone. To work for myself because in order to help other, you need to help yourself.
Can't wait to walk around barefoot in my own land by my cottage home to play this so loudly that other could feel what other feel when hear this, all daughters, sons and children🌻
Having lost MY MOM recently to cancer, this song makes me stand up and fight. Fight depredsion, sadmess, pain, loneliness, emptiness...
While i cannot do it alone, I can do it with her, through her, and for HER.
❤
My parents heard this song live while in Northshield. I grew up hearing the song in Brendoken. It's a beautiful song.
This song is very empowering. Thank you.
Love this song. It is me and my mum and my daughter. It celebrates something about women besides being beautiful. We need more song like this! Marvellous!
I found this on Instagram and it made me cry. Listening to the lyrics reminds me of late nights dancing on the dew covered grass with my mom. Before everything went so wrong with my family this was the embodiment of those late nights with my own Wild mother. Catching toads and frogs, rolling down grassy hills, belting out lyrics to our shared songs. Thank you so much for this song
I immediately get goosebumps hearing this song! Because the voice and lyrics are both so heartfelt.
Showed this song to my 11 year old daughter because it made me feel more powerful, she loved it!💕
My daughter just sent me thus senseful song. These days we watch Brave Iranians ladies, people, youngsters singing, not this song, but... nobody should even think, imagine can make pur mouths shot. With lots of love to all savage girls shout for " women, life, freedom... with love to you
My lovely little mum passed recently,she was a quiet, unassuming strong and kind woman,we were opposites in so many many ways but she taught from the first time she held me I was special and strong and to be true to myself to never cut my hair(conform) lower my tone(lose/hide myself) that if I was good enough for the creator and her…then I was good enough. I miss my little mum and her wisdom and love
My mom is not supportive of me and she thinks im weird. But i don't care why not be yourself when u can only be yourself once because we only live once this song makes me feel so happy
Were all weirdos in some way.. Keep being you.. You are strong ❤️✨
The song reminds me of my grandmother. I tear up every time I hear the song I just feel my grandmother putting her hand on my shoulder.
My best friend succumbed to metastatic breast cancer a little over two weeks ago. She was 41, and she was the most beautiful soul I can ever hope to meet. She was indeed a savage daughter of this world, and she worked tirelessly and graciously to make it a better place for the others living in it. She could not abide the concept of a memorial at which a person is celebrated and cannot be there. A couple of weeks before she left us, her husband and some of her many friends helped her put together a get-together, a kind of live-wake. She thanked everyone who had been a part of her life. It was a celebration of her life and of the community she created. I was blessed to know her, and she will be with me always. Her voice was raised in her actions. Cutting her hair? Well, chemo sort of rendered that moot.
Amy, my dear savage sister, you were a foundation of tenacity and empathy. The flames you sparked in those who knew you can never be extinguished.
Happy international women’s day ❤❤❤
It's a breathtaking song it brings me to tears and makes me really proud of my origin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As it should
There's something so intricately beautiful about how we build off the backs and shoulders of our mothers ❤️ may we be savage daughters and may we raise another generation of savage daughters ❤️
I am of a child of a half-Cherokee Mother. This is is my song to her and my ancestors on her side and my Irish on my Father's side. ❤️⭐️✨️✨️✨️
this music makes me feel Celtic all of a sudden
My mom passed away from cancer in 2020 we were very close. And this song makes me think of her. And how proud she would be of me Thank you.
I grew up listening to Judy Collins. This sounds like a song that she would sing. This is a beautiful song, sung by someone who sounds a lot like Judy Collins. This is a compliment to Sarah Hester Ross!
I totally agree.... 💗
My mother was a savage, and she passed it to me, and I hope to pass to my daughter.
This is just a reminder to me to make sure that I raise my daughter to be strong, and assertive, and most of all resilient!
I sing this song to my great Grandmother. Born in the East Tennessee Mountains in the 1800's a midwife and herbalist. .
The way she sings those words gave me chills wow
Love this song has so much meaning!!!
When I hear this song it touches something primal in me. It reminds me that we as women must continue to ignore to society's expectations of how women should behave and continue to move forward paving the way for other women as the women who came before paved the way for us. Slaves to free women, midwives to doctors, housewives to CEOs , unable to vote to being Law makers, cooks to michelin starred chefs, no longer chattel, no longer oppressed by the patriarchy. We no longer have to curse the sharp stones of patriarchy, or change ourselves for societies beauty standards or stop using our voices to fight for our place at the table.
I don't know what in this song, brings me to tears most times i listen it.. Most of us who lived outside the cities, into the villages, have been doing this like those in the lyrics.. Running free barefoot, watching the stars in the night, trying to guess shapes of clouds.. And so on.. Just being free and wild.. ❤❤
I have a very horrible birth mother and father. But I feel this song on such a deep level. Maybe it’s all the trauma I’ve endured in my live. I don’t have a “mother”. For now, Mother Earth is my mother as I will fight for her and this song wakes in me my ancestral native side of me and fills me with so much passion and fire. I’m finding my voice.
I am proud of you. Hydrate, rest, and give them hell.
I'm a witch. My daughter sent this video to me because she knows and appreciates who I am (and who/what her son also might be). It's amazing, has meaning that runs deep to my core.. I listen to it at least once a day. She probably does too lol.
As am I. Blessed be.
? How do you know you're a witch? Genuinely asking
@@federicapapapietro6164 If you are you know.
@@jeannette.sgili.132 oh...is it like a sensation? Or maybe more
@@federicapapapietro6164 It's like you just know things you can feel from others, my great grandma called it The Shine or just Shine. Seeing deeper, beyond the surface. It's different for everyone. Being an empath, a good witch always. I think we use the word witch for lack of a better word. Some call us Seer. ❤️
I am my mothers Savage Daughter. I will not take the path most followed I will blaze my own trail, just like my mother and my mother's mother before. I will not lower my voice. This song speaks to my soul, to my heart and connects the women in my village
My mother was mad that I was born very obviously native American..what did she expect when she has a child shoshone bannock man? I truly am my mother's savage daughter. I didn't let destroy me. I survived out of spite. And now I LIVE for me ❤
I love this song. I was raised in a matriarchal family for the last 4 generations. I’m sure further back we have more savage daughters! ✌🏼♥️✊🏼
This song is amazing. I am my mother's wild daughter and I call to the ancestors loudly. My mom raised me to be like this, but I am also a mother to those without a mom and always teach. This song is powerful!
This song makes me cry every time! Not having the best relationship with my mother, this song and lyrics touch me every time! Thank you for this song!
I've listened to the original so many times but for some reason this particular version brought me to tears. Wonderful imagery, and such a beautiful voice!
