This is what we call a song of triumph - she stood atop the the mountain that was her disease, undefeated; and wishes to proclaim her victory as encouragement for other's that suffered - or in the memory of those who didn't make it to the top. This is Melissa Etheridge. This is what she does - and this is why she has a right to unprecedented (well, maybe not beating Elvis XD ) stardom :D
I posted my video! I'm fighting for those who have breast cancer, those who know who have breast cancer and for those who lost their battle. See below for video. God bless to you all.
The second being that my sister was diagnosed with systemic lupus last year. I know it is not breast cancer so please no hate messages (which I have gotten before) but regardless she is my best friend. It is an autoimmune disease....sometimes it is too painful for her to even pick up her three year old son. I dedicate this song to her.....I will be walking in my first lupus walk with her this year and my first run in next years Susan G. Komen run
Ive loved this song since I first heard it when it was released.....it has really resonated with me recently for 2 reasons. The first being that I am in nursing school and am currently on the oncology floor and have seen what cancer, not just breast cancer, but all cancers have done to the patients and their families.
im not gay, in fact I'm married but she is sexy and beautiful!!! best singer too!!! love you Melissa!!! so happy your all better!!! wishing you a healthy and happy future!!!!!
Awesome Optimism! What a great song! I remember watching this on Letterman and DVR ing it. I played it over n over cuz I was amazed at the sound, the lyrics and the fact that she was a cancer survivor. Great job Melissa! Thank you netudki69 for posting it!
There are a lot of versions of this out there, and I really like this one, in particular. The passion in her voice on "I run for hope," after the third verse, it gets me every time.
We know they'll never get a piece of your soul, Melissa, and that's why you inspire us all.
@michelleruch I can understand your situration. I am battling Stage IIIA, grade 1 metastatic breast cancer to my bones. It is a struggle but Melissa Etheridge is such a great inspiration and I love this song. It tells it all.
this is a beautful song i neaver had breast canser and none of my family members had it and i still love this song, it should be an insperation to everyone!!!!!
