Set Her Free
Somewhere tonight there is a woman, trapped by circumstances, fear or doubt. This song honors her and offers
the solidarity of others holding space for her as she gathers strength.
Blackbird
A Beatles original, this delicate ballad speaks of rebirth and flight and how the worst of times can be the
impetus for new beginnings.
How Can I Keep From Singing?
This hymn, arranged for Windsong by Paul Landefeld, Jr., is about rising above the tumult and strife of the
world and finding one’s place in the infinite wisdom of song. Dedicate it to the singers in your life or to those
who make your heart sing.
Heroes
Witnessing another person’s courage often helps us find our own. This song pays tribute to many female heroes
who have paved the way, making life better for women today. Dedicate it to the heroes in your life.
Harriet Tubman
This song is a tribute to the courageous Harriet Tubman who escaped slavery and led many others safely to
freedom on The Underground Railroad. Dedicate it to those brave souls who are making a difference in the life
trajectories of others.
Katie Cruel
"Oh that I was what I would be, then would I be who I am not, here am I where I must be, go where I would, I
cannot.” This song honors women who wonder of themselves what might have been. Written for Windsong by
current member Jan C. Snow.
Wood River
Show me your heart and I’ll show you mine. Rising above trouble and doubt, this poetic song depicts an intimate
moment between lovers on the side of a river, at sunset.
Yonder Come Day
Inspired by a traditional Georgia Sea Island Spiritual, this song speaks to a vision of freedom and better days
ahead.
Stairway to Heaven
Yes, that Stairway to Heaven. The true test of a song lies in its diversity across genres. Whether the rock
version of the seventies or a melodic choral arrangement, this song stands the test of time. And it makes you
wonder…
Like a Mountain
No one can push back an ocean. Like nature itself, the spirit of a woman is eternal. No matter what happens on a
physical level, a woman’s song is indestructible. Dedicate Like a Mountain to women who have indomitable spirits,
and to those who don’t yet know this about themselves.
What I Want
This song brings to focus the abundance of life’s blessings. Love, light, breath. Dedicate What I Want to
someone who is a blessing to you.
Draw Down the Moon
Patterns of the tides, cycles of rebirth, reverence for all. This song honors the sacred connection between the
moon and all things feminine.
Why Can’t You Girls Be Nice?
Those annoying women suffragists! If only they’d behave. Sigh! Dedicate this song to those in your life who push
the boundaries so that one day all may be treated with equality and respect.
Rosie the Riveter
This famous song is about a woman doing her part to help the American war effort in World War II. The song
helped increase the number of women working outside the home 57% between 1940 and 1944. Dedicate it to
your favorite hard working woman.
Faith Comes Out of the Closet
Dedicate this song to those who dare leave the “safety” of lies, for the freedom of truth.
Sister
Dedicate this song to the women in your life who have been there to share your sorrows and your joy.
For Good
From the Broadway show Wicked, this song is about how relationships change us. Dedicate this song to someone
who has changed you, for good.
I Ain’t Afraid
This song speaks to how religious ideology often obscures the true expression of Divine Love. Dedicate it to
those who aren’t afraid to stand up for what they truly believe.
