DD has heard this at her BFs house (and watched the video on youtube which I'm not thrilled about). It's a song with a beautiful melody, very haunting, and she and 6 yo DD2 wanted me to download the song and print off the lyrics (good for their reading, right?) so they can learn them. Thing is the song is all about prostitution, homelessness, drug use...
I don't know whether to watch the video with my daughter and answer any questions she has or keep her from watching it as at present (I said it wasn't appropriate for her sister). Her BF has told her it's about a girl who has sex with a man for £40 then has sex with another man. I played it cool, thinking "how on earth do I talk about this with her?", just saying 'Did she now. Hmm.' And carried on with the dinner. She'll obviously watch it next time she's at BF's house (or something else I can't control - BF has teenage sisters so expect her parents are more relaxed than me).
I'd love to find another song they love more so they can move away from this one as I think DD1 and DD2 are a bit young to be told about prostitution and the dangers of crack cocaine.
Anyone in the same boat???
