Charlene – I've Never Been To Me

• 0
  General Comment: The first time how i heard this song is from the old ipod shuffle that my boss wife use to own & discarded for whatever reason ("I don't Know") Since i need a music source for our Public Address System (PA)Testing & Commissioning my boss gave this ipod shuffle to me.
  I fell in love with the melody & the voice of the singer the 1st time i heard the song fell in-love in a sense of mix emotion. somehow....somewhat! I feel the Burden, the excitement, the adventure, the proudness, the power & essence of being a woman, most of all the courage to share it.
  I started asking my friend if they know who's the artist, None of them knows & Laugh at me why suddenly my music taste shift that fast and throwing jokes at me that i maybe give up my favorite song of John Lennon ("Woman") & Shift to Five For fighting ("Superman")("No Offense...to the song & band fans as well as gender issues....I love the song").
  I want to ask my boss but i'm hesitating because of the outcome & reaction of my competitors who's Praying that i gave up my share of 12 is to 1 Ratio ("no offense to womens lib i'm 101% percent pro"), Desperate to know & nobody to ask i finally start the best & perfect engine the man ever created!
  "The Search Engine" regardless which one and i finally met the woman and the voice that i fell inlove with! ("i've never been to me" playing on our PA system T&C for 3 days now.......& for another 2 days more I think") and the info that i've been longing to know but i'm not satisfied with the profile picture and i want to meet her Performing and Singing this song & "check out" why i have this strange feeling towards this woman is it the voice? the melody? or did she touch my inner feeling as a man by
  her description of how does she explore the sweet life in paradise & connects with my fantasies, or maybe i can relate with her because i'm leaving with the same type of woman as she is for 16 years and they have the Same zodiac sign of Gemini (No Offense), During her younger years i can say "This Song is for her" but i only love this woman that much & i stayed, and i can say Charlene is Sharing this song
  to all women and she's hoping they will listen, in my own point of view they wont listen until the riped aged comes, that's the time they will look back & find the right path for them what about if it's too late, all were gone, no one there patiently waiting. When charlene share her subtle whoring she didn't
  discourage women to follow her footstep maybe some, few, but she "tickled" there imagination liked she tickled mine, who's person doesn't want to sip champagne on a yacht while anchored on isle of greece or nice.
  
  Bottom line whether the story is true or just use to lift up the career of Charlene i can say it is an
  old story but even it is old with just the correct ingredients, The Charmed & Sex Appeal of Charlene, Her Essence of being Woman, her deep seated eyes, her very feminine & Glamorous move, simplicity, Curly slutty hair, innocent crying weak type looks & story the masses loves to hear..Walla!..Another Millionaire in the making but i salute those 2 men who wrote this song they know how to cook and i think men can relate to women when it comes to inner feelings. Men were like women vise versa (For Me) they are all equal in whatever needs. (This Is Not a gender issue) Men will just have to broaden their mind (Forget The Ego) after all the only difference or separate men to women is the "WO".

  General Comment:You know, I kinda understand why people think this song is against womenslib, although I don't agree with that statement. The fact that the song was written by 2 men, to me doesn't mean it's automatically from a male perspective. I believe that it's very well possible that a male can write from a female perspective. I think it's about an independent woman who regrets some of the choices she made earlier in life, and idealizes the life she ran away from, trying to escape the life her parents lived.
  
  To me the song is about choice. To me it's about someone who has been there, and shares her knowledge that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side. She expresses her believe that the "suburban" lifestyle (marriage, children) is more true and more like paradise, than the life she's been living and that in the public eye is perceived as paradise. The irony is that the grass isn't greener on either side. As paradise doesn't exist (anymore, thanks to Eve ;-)). In my opinion nor "the wild life in Nice" nor "the suburban life" can claim the title of paradise. And I'm quite sure that if the storyteller would go to live the life she describes as true (suburban) she'd be bored in notime.
  
  My favorite line is: "I've spent my life exploring, the subtle whoring"
  Think it's the word "subtle". That gives me the feeling that she has class, and wasn't a prostitute. Just a woman who used her body to better herself. And "exploring" tells me she just went for it without too much preconceived notions. Making her regretting some of her explorations "bitter from the sweet".
  
  And I do feel that the sentence "children that might have made me complete", could refer to abortions. As it's not unlikely for someone living on the edge. Also to me it's very likely that she isn't able anymore to become pregnant. Maybe she's too old to have children or maybe because of a decease she got living the wild life.
  
  All in all I fell in love with the melody the first time I heard this song back in 1982, and it was the first single I bought. And yes I'm a woman too.

  General Comment:here's a review of it i wrote for a magazine called Dummy. the key point of the review is that it was written by two men. i love the song because it's so wrong, especially as it's men writing that women should stay at home. this wouldn't get released these days, for better or worse.
  
  Charlene
  Never Been To Me
  In the mid ‘70s women were only just getting the freedoms they deserved. So the tales that Charlene is relaying on this country-pop epic seem particularly exciting. Swanning around the globe, she romps with preachers, gets undressed by kings and sees some things that “a woman ain’t supposed to see” (what, like a bloke lighting his farts?). It all sounds like the perfect life after the oppression of your apron-ed mother.
  But oh no, Charlie is moaning – she’d swap it all for the “unborn children that might have made me complete.” Not only that, she wants to tell disconcerted mothers and regimented wives that they should stay home and let their husbands have their joyless fumbles. Rather odd take on this new freedom, wouldn’t you think? Well not when you take into account a couple of facts. Firstly, Charlene went on to record an album of Christian songs after this was a belated hit. And ‘Never Been To Me’ was written by – of course – a couple of men.
  So it’s puritanical, patronising and sexiest – which is exactly why it’s sounds so good in these days of inoffensive pop. Morality tales are a relic of another musical age, as is the delicious voyeurism derived from songs based around stories. A couple of years later AIDS would hit and Charlene would no doubt feel vindicated. But as the strings soar around her breathy vocals, pop music has never sounded sexier.
  Now, where can we find a king to undress us – the champagne’s getting warm and the yacht is about to set sail.
