Sheryl Crow - "Are You Strong Enough To Be My Man" - acoustic, accordion, 1995, stereo

[edwardsbeloved]

to me sheryl here is you be a strong man.no doub.if you lie to me.all through and through.i would belive you.. if i find out. shit will hit the fan. their is hell then to be paid.. she in her heart wants complete trust in her relationship. not she accepts being lied to or that you can sin and nothing will happen to you?it is she put great effort into building a relationship and this this is what she gets?not bi-polar or some dumb shit. by the way if one has bi-polar doesnt define who thay are!!

[malicious1968]

typical female thinking

she wants a "strong man"

yet wants to be "lied to"

she clearly is bi-polar (again typical)

she even admits "i make the rules up as I go"

good luck keeping up

remember!!!!

you can complain about your wife to your girl friend......

but you can't complain about your girlfriend to your wife

[luckyelk]

Love it! Wish this for me. :(

[LoveOthello]

this is just lovely!

[Rinjingin7]

great quality.

[swtxwishes]

Listen to The Barr Brothers - Beggar in the Morning. Tell me if you think they both sound similar.

[legalloira]

amo essa musica me faz chorar por lembrar da minha adolescencia

[kysike666]

lovely song!

My exgf used to sing this to me but I was not strong enough to be her man..

[coyotestory]

I love Sheryl Crow. I could listen to her beautiful voice all day. Thank you for the music.

[singy1980]

What a great singer! Sounded so innocent yet so sexy!

[infopareja]

Una canción muy entrañable. No crees?

[007BondgirlKarena]

Yes! SupernalOne.... U might be on to something here.....maybe add a touch of salt and pepper from someone else's spices...... but you kinda got it..... ;)

[nightBoyKramatRaya]

good talented in soul, nice music to all...

[11dwags]

There's something oddly sexy about Sheryl when she plays the accordion. I'm a guy and love this song.

[shitweasel2035]

Ah man, so much nostalgia. I remember when I was small, we had a videotape with a bunch of awesome songs on them. This one was amongst them. I'm now trying to find all those songs from then. Pretty hard considering the tape is lost, it was at least 10 ago that I last saw it, probably more, and I didn't know english back then...

[Candeekissez]

I think any woman over 40 can relate to this song. We all get stronger and at the same time let the little things go, we sometimes become a contridiction of terms.

[MsAdri1111]

I love this song I use to sing it to my sons father GOD REST HI SOUL I Still sing it to him

[missbrighteyes07]

God I feel like hell tonight :(

[brynndolynn]

Words can't describe how incredible this song is.

[redfox24]

Gosh....this song is so fucking beautiful. Pardon my language, fellow viewers. It is...wow, just wow.

[claudioacer]

magic

[adamsquires]

thought she was really gona play the accordion. she didnt even use the bass side. i come from a family of accordion players and play as well. my 5 year old son can outplay that lolz

[shangerboy]

@adamsquires thanks for letting us know that.

[analogic10]

@adamsquires well she is first a great singer. that's more than enough for most stars today. added to that she's also a great music writer. AND she plays guitar. sometimes bass too. maybe not the one on the accordion, but let's not get greedy now ok? ;)

all the best to your talented 5 year old!

[zalnet12345]

You're my idol Sheryl

[2hotinaz]

This is one of my 'ultimate favourite' songs. I also love the version she recorded with Stevie Nicks...two amazing voices together. (And two of my 'ultimate favourite' artists as well.) If, for some strange reason, you've never heard that version, please check it out. It's probably somewhere on You Tube. As a matter of fact I'm going to look for it right now.

[kitchenswd]

So nice this one. Always brings a small tear to the eyes.

[MTBJester]

i wish musicians could just chill out on a couch and play like sheryl crow's band.

[nanooman]

4 people have no idea what good music sounds like.

[TheMarsoff]

Очень красивая песня

[Fritheby]

all american missouri gal

[alimon72]

love the song...but shes rocking those "mom jeans' and its killing me!!!

[inthekitchen2]

@alimon72 she needs the coverage of the high rise.otherwise she might have an awkward to explain accordion related injury

[2hotinaz]

@alimon72 She looks good in anything. PLUS...I wish fashion would go back to 'full coverage' jeans and trousers. I think low-rise trousers simply show off everything most women should be hiding...'muffin tops' for one. Until then I'll 'keep on rockin' my 'mom jeans' myself. I would rather be 'out of fashion' than to show the world my 'wobbly bits'. (I'm slim and do work out, but, 'low rise' pants give the appearance of a 'muffin top' to most women 'of a certain age' especially.

[cjburly]

4 people aren't strong enough to be Sheryl's man.

[munnytome]

this song makes me wanna be the best man i can be

[yves211106]

ohhh! yeah! i luv this song! remind me of the days! omfg!

[jhenymetal17]

i really love that song :)

[masercot]

Are you man enough to be my dog?

[kevinriche]

4 people are gay men

[Chey60]

This song is horrid!!

[freddiemesquit1]

Is there an end to this womans talent?

[monicalovesmark]

Is there an instrumental version of this song on youtube??

[MoreSherylCrow]

@monicalovesmark - I'm not aware of one, but maybe somewhere out there ... ??

[TheAxis456]

could have done without the accordion but still awesome.

[vascmana]

Women go through a sort of physical hell once a month for a few days and then bleed for days to the point of anemia, all the while being expected to be the pictures of femininity. I can understand the frustration that boils over. Men bear their battle scars more stoically, but we are raised to. Women are raised to verbalize. I just wish they would be more up front about, like Cheryl. None of us are perfect. Things should still be true even when nothing's right.

[e7376737]

I'm easy to fall in love with but hard to live with.  LOL

[BrutalGrubblet]

I remember learning this in guitar class, gutted i forgot it :(

[dreamrsdiedreamsdont]

why dont women never ask " are you SMART enough to be my man"?its always muscles ,aggresion ,macho-stuff -are we in the stone age?!

[milesofsmiles182]

@dreamrsdiedreamsdont i think she means emotionally strong...

[kevinriche]

@milesofsmiles182  hses finding out her man is gay...jeeze

[Shebeast1952]

this is a kick ass song. I love it!

[MoreSherylCrow]

@SupernalOne - Your "new lyrics" are pretty funny :)

Personally, I think this song is Sheryl taking a brutal look at her own shortcomings, and wondering if there's a man out there who can accept her like that.

[SupernalOne]

@MoreSherylCrow

Yes, for sure

[Th3sparta]

@MoreSherylCrow She didn't write this song. -_- smh

[myelfenohr]

Her best song! This words could be mine!

[carl000008]

great !!!

[aviadmei]

M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E!!!!!!!!!­

[Frisbieinstein]

Learn how to sing.

[tonytai2017]

The era when many unplugged performances came out, with some of the best bands ever produced. When I see these songs and artists I take a walk back in time in my mind. It all went too quick unfortunately..........I miss it alot.

[sakenk]

can we just go back to 90`s ?

please...

[wellwell1212]

Beautiful song Sheryl :)

[shroomapoluza]

i love her

[jenrocks40]

@glamglad

[HearYeRocknRoll]

I always thought the accordian was an obnoxious sounding instrument, but it sounds good when Sheryl plays it. I never liked the accordian before, but now I do.

[renake1967]

beautiful <3

[renake1967]

beautiful voice & lyrics !

[jonomutiny]

Jaw dropping....

[fxyvgngrl]

RIP Julie:

Julie Anne Noble died on Feb 21, 1995 after a self inflicted shot in the head. Julie suffered from Schizophrenia. This song will forever remind me of you, one of my closest friends. Miss you.

[redhot916spd]

forgive them they know not what damage they cause to those around them. they are so flooded with depression and not caring they cannot see

[refugeemama]

What a beautiful way to honor her memory. I too lost a loved one to schitzophrenia and suicide by hanging. Bless you.

[jepherson707]

@fxyvgngrl your entry made me so so sad.ive loved somebody who faced challenges with thier mental health.want you to know how much your simple message touched me.

[pspri1281]

she wrote it for me... cause i was strong enough!

[deliveryboy1979]

LMAOO

[MovieMad007]

wasn't this a atribute to Lance Armstrong...when they were dating and he was fighting cancer?

[MoreSherylCrow]

@MovieMad007

No, this was written long before they were together. It's one of her earliest songs.

[zzflowerbombzz]

No.  This song was written way before she dated Lance Armstrong.

[MrChelseybobelsey]

@MovieMad007

Yeah it says 1995 at the top...they definitely weren't together yet

[gypsyebay]

here here ! good job cheers sheryl crow. are you strong enough to come to uk.?

[beggarz]

So good.

[dwStueck]

great!!!

[patrick6662]

Great Quality Upload for a great song Thanks

[MrTsotsi01]

beautiful!

[ebtje]

Here I am, a true Grunge, Rock, Metal music fan... And for some reason I keep watching this video every now and again. There is something so very right about this song and the setting. It's quality, I truly like it. Well done Sheryl and band!!

[tniggz69]

I'm strong enough crow, clapton aint got nothing on me

[THEoriginalRIcHARDS]

i want to be sheryls man.

[beecher13]

[AnoukaKC]

i'm an idiot. i thought this was bonnie raitt all this time.

[sparks158]

listen to that djembe rock!

[mbflynn]

Where was this performance?

[chiwibono]

It is the MTV Unplugged show, it was taped at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music in New York City in February of 1995.

[77446633]

she rules a big time!!!!!!!!!!!!

[humanlumen]

unbelievable! Love the set with the furniture, like friends jamming in the family room. Love the question, love the question. Words are wonderful and thought provoking. I am a fan from now on!

[wwillow1]

yeah got that right....

[SuperOscar68]

I'm from colombia and I follow every single step from her!

[IowaChick054]

really awsome

[babyhailes]

wow just love this..such an amazing song! :)

[ghonzalo]

talent and beauty.

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

That is correct. I really like Sheryl Crow because she's so versatile. I didn't realize she could play accordion.

[77446633]

she can play almost every instrument in the band!

[Roseboyd01]

I love you! Always have........This song still carries such feelings and even at my age I wonder if there is anyone out there strong enough to be my man. The life of an artist and writer is so different. From experience it is hard to find someone who compliments the lifestyle.

Love,

Cindy Rose Boyd

[mariesemi]

strong enought Sheryl, strong enought!

[wharghasm]

wow she just blows me every time

[tsird]

lucky bastard

[freakystyley73]

LOL

[CalebNihira]

id love to play in her band... you'd have the best view in the room :)

[MrGentlehand]

damn..drop that accordion

[pebbeldarebel]

Super performance

[skatchmo]

Great song, she's kinda a mess on the accordion.

[alphaferg]

sometimes its better to not be perfect its a part of life and she does a beautiful job trying :)

[eondarkstar]

annoying though with her double standards

[lilgroff22]

she picks or writes great songs but rikki lee jones voice is soooooooo much better

[TheDataMaestro]

I love rikki, saw her at 2:00am in a small club in NYC in the 1980's at her height - she came in with her manger to do a free unannounced set - totally f**ked-up - her manager had to pull her out of there. I think she is doing better.

[simplehotgurl]

i really love this song!

[sb373]

reminds me of someone totally unneccessary.i wish i had never listened to this song for him

[stergioskottas]

perfect. 5*

[lafollealahachette]

Thanks for this, I wait this!! One of best live!!! Unplugged, what better?
