From across a vast galaxy of musical taste, these three young vagabonds with Scandinavian roots have collided to form a dancefolkpopindielectronica silenced explosion. Their healthy combination of live instruments and electronic production ignite - forming moments of dance floor euphoria, stomping vocal driven breakdowns and roaming lo-fi grooves.
After an extremely successful debut EP release at the start of 2011 and a thumping live show doing the rounds in Ol' Sydney town, RÜFÜS are poised for a very big year!

I'm Every Woman
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Understanding this, I hardly cry
Growin' up and out, I'll marry you
I'll bear your kids and be your mama too cause
(CHORUS):
Cause I'm a woman and I'm a backbone
I'm a woman and I'm a backbone
Everybody needs one
Goin' on I live from day to day
Give a little heart for my life to pay
Smile and then I need to cry
Never knowin' if I lie (or die)
(CHORUS)
Understand you will not see me down
Both of my feet are on the ground
Come lay your head upon my chest
I'll love you hard, I'll give my best
The lyrics to Rufus's song "I'm A Woman" convey a sense of strength, resilience, and acceptance of the natural cycles of life. The opening line "I am a species born to die, understanding this, I hardly cry" speaks to the inevitability of mortality and how this knowledge shapes the singer's outlook on life. She's coming to terms with her own mortality and is determined to make the most of the time she has.
The verses in the song capture the struggle of everyday life while also emphasizing the singer's ability to handle whatever is thrown her way. She speaks of smiling even when she feels like crying, and never knowing if she will live or die. These lines suggest that life can be challenging, but the singer is always ready to face whatever comes next.
The chorus "Cause I'm a woman and I'm a backbone" reinforces the idea that the singer is strong, capable, and an essential support system in people's lives. The repetition of "Everybody needs one" emphasizes the importance of having strong women to lean on. The closing lines of the song "Come lay your head upon my chest, I'll love you hard, I'll give my best" further solidify the idea that the singer is a loving, caring, and dependable presence in people's lives.

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z
I can cast a spell
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, 'cause
I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down
To some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause
I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z
I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
You just ask me ooh and it shall be done
And don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it
I've got it, I've got it, yeah
I'm every woman

One of the greatest voices of all time. A massive voice with incredible range, soul, power, and feeling,.
Music to climb mountains by.
From of the “Clan of No Bad Notes”... Aretha, Ella, Sarah, Whitney.
People forget, Chaka was also a beauty, with that face and body. Then you hear this voice, coming out of that face and body....
A legend of funk and soul greatness, in a class by herself, is Chaka Kahn.
@michaelconner1771
There IS NO COMPARISON. Both The Chaka original and The Whitney reboot are spectacular!! A double win for the music lover.
