Fave Song?

Annie Lennox - Money Can’t Buy It Kara
It is my favourite pride song because Schmidt-Nielsen
it is talking about taking pride in
what you’re willing to do for love and
the strength in not letting people buy
you.
The meaning behind it for me
personally is well firstly I grew up
on Annie Lennox but this song in
particular always makes me feel
proud and happy and very strong and
confident.
The benefit behind the song for the
wider community is to take pride in
who you are and not let anything buy
your love.
