From the recordings Big Strong Man and Big Strong Man
BIG STRONG MAN
Big Strong Man is a playful tribute to masculinity creating a lovely backdrop for femininity. “Light as a feather, when we’re together” is how she feels against his “gentle giant, nice grizzly bear” frame. Syncopated percussion, flirty echos and horns resembling early Fiona Apple, set the scene for Courtney’s vocal personality to come through in this jazzy number. Ultimately written for her tall, handsome husband; Courtney hopes it can boost a lot of guys out there and promote brands that serve the individual strengths of women and men.
Lyrics
Your rough cheek scruff
Makes a kiss seem softer than a white feathered dove
Such a towering shadow of fear
But a gentle giant by it like a nice grizzly bear
I've got a big strong man
I'm light as a feather when we're together
Hold me in
Make me feel nice and thin
I've got a big strong man
Skip rocks down by the boat
Swim me out to the pond to watch our love float
Your subtle sigh through your brow
When you're making me comfy
Cause you're holding me now
I've got a big strong man
I'm light as a feather when we're together
Hold me in
Make me feel nice and thin
I've got a big strong man
