Sarah Brendel cover
01. Commodity
Album: Sarah Brendel
Artist: Sarah Brendel
 

I-I’ve been a wonder girl under the gun
And like you I was a runner with nowhere to run
But my freedom is a mother and right now she’s back
To stay for a while

I-I’ve had enough of me playing the fool
Oh I see the smile you’re faking
And I’m breaking ground every day now
And you should know

If you’re making my love a commodity
I’m afraid that you might have mistaken me
Now the ocean’s burning
But I will sooth the flame

I-I got a message from over the moon
Now I know I got the fire to conquer the gloom

I am young and I am burning
I am every name in a no one’s space

Behind the Song:
'I wrote this at a time when many record labels were approaching me and wanting to make me a commodity rather than letting me be the artist I’m made to be. In many cases they wanted to turn me into the next pop queen like Britney Spears, and they didn’t understand my love for music. I didn’t want them to turn what I loved into a commodity.' - Sarah Brendel
