Your Next Bold Move - Ani DiFranco

2003 Philadelphia Folk Festival

[@MrJoeCage]

man, this woman is continually brilliant. i've been playing and writing my own stuff for 25 yrs or so, and just when i think i've come up with something good I'll listen to something from Ani, and think "damn. i gotta go practice"

[@FinnMcRiangabra]

I love Ani's music in every version I've heard, but this age was about my introduction to Ani DiFranco. Hearing it again is transporting. She knows what she wants to say and hits it both musically and vocally. ...Those Lee Press-on Nails and Tape FTW.

[@Dekindbud318]

Love this .. only as beautiful as the gemstones from the earth you collect and try to better oneself in time to become beautiful and to know yourself 🙏💯💪

[@shaconage]

Is there anything more beautiful than a radical human singing about deep truths?!? Add the context of the Philly Folk Festival, an artist in full bloom and at the peak of her observational, poetic, and performing powers and you find an inspiration that nourishes and emboldens me every time.

i've always love love loved this clip! i had to come back here today and watch once again.... cheers ani

[@righteousbabeful]

Best song intro EVER!!!! Oh, if only I could ever be on her bus!

[@Dekindbud318]

Love it ... Beautiful positive vibes babe ... Keep striving for greatness and standing stronger 💪🙏💯💖

[@peyotirotalo]

This woman is just amazing - soooooo rare, I'm telling you, sooooo rare, a warm soul, she can play like no other ';-)

[@zakipoe79]

She's so beautiful! She's so cool n' real~ I grew up on her songs. xD She's awesomely vibrant and I dunno how to explain it she's tiny but she's like a BIG person at the same time. I've always wanted to be like her. x3 Yush! I love this song. ^^

[@Dekindbud318]

This is awesome....

[@Dekindbud318]

Beautiful

[@32Flavors]

Man! Chick blows my mind year after year. Only a month until she lands in anchorage. How the days drag.

Lucero

[@maudy_music]

this is so cool, wish it was still like this.

[@banzobeans]

Now this is how I remember her :)

[@chuckprater3573]

Have to see her back home!!

[@erinm2765]

The "excuse me" at 1:56 scared the crap out of me

[@erinm2765]

Erin M EVERY DAMN TIME

[@tonyahodges4779]

+Erin M Me too lol! And you even warned me ;)

[@vivianmari]

regardless of politics: "youve got the hard cough of a chainsmoker, and youre at the arctic circle.. playing strip poker. and its getting colder and colder every time you lose." such a great image :)

[@TonyBurke100]

@vivianmari It's not a competition, different strokes for different folks.

[@womby28]

@deliciousmorton Hm, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I did not say anything about money. I also don't know what you mean by, "How do ya go from Your Next Bold Move or Subdivision to Yes We Can?" I would need to know your interpretation of those songs and their differences to even understand what you're trying to infer.

[@vivianmari]

@TonyBurke100 from me that was intended as a very big compliment to ani :)

[@vivianmari]

maybe she just has new and different stories to tell :) To quote Ani herself "we never see things changing, we always see them ending" (slide)

[@vivianmari]

you got the hard cough of a chainsmoker, and youre at the arctic circle , playing strippoker *laughing* I love that chick, best lyrics above anyone i can think of :) cohen is the only one close to giving her a run for the money

[@JQevidentself]

Thats my wife ♥Regardlesss.

[@womby28]

@deliciousmorton I hear you, friend. She's still fighting the good fight, just on the optimists side these days. She's got to evolve too, ya know?

[@microrganisms]

really, you think so? i think it's fairly riveting. the metaphors are pretty killer, too, but i'm a fan of poetry.

[@belllabean]

u were? can you tell me when the show was? i woulda loved to see ani solo at this era...

[@lunamaan]

what is she saying in the beginning? i like to know, but i can't understand it :(

[@ifarn]

I really enjoy this song, though the lyrics make me a little depressed...

[@analasis1261]

Well oright then.

[@RosalynMarieAmo]

how could you say that

[@analasis1261]

@caleab27 It's easy to criticize when your voice sounds like nickleback.

[@IsOk10]

i just like her. I don't understand those words that mean politics : )

[@heiwalove]

haha, i love it when her string slips way out of tune. she's so wonderful. :)

[@zephyrjoy]

you ever think about writing music

[@Halfadrop]

Gggggghhhaaaaaa.....

[@stefolk]

coming of age during the plague of reagan and bush watching capitalism gun down democracy it had this funny effect on me i guess...

[@annjellobrewno4768]

Ani's net worth is $5 million. Let that sink in.

[@DanNelson111]

[@caleab27]

Calm down... I actually like DiFranco, which is why I came to this site. My comment is absurd. It's called IRONY!!!!!! Hyperbole at best. Like, when Portlandia made fun of Eddie Vedder with an Ani DiFranco tattoo. Try not to be so sensitive and you'll see through things fine! Good luck!

[@annjellobrewno4768]

I love to listen to her lyrics, and then reflect on the fact that she has a net worth of $5 million.
