I love Playing for Change. Here is my favorite sentence from the Playing for Change Mission Statement
The Playing For Change Foundation is dedicated to the fundamental idea that peace and change are possible through the universal language of music.
That said, I will share that when my heart is tempted to respond negatively to the onslaught of GOP lies and negativity, I log on to youtube and listen to a few Playing for Change songs.
We are one people.
Love One Another is the only message that can heal this planet and overpower the hateful messages of the despots, the greedy, and the misguided zealots.
Why do these songs uplift my heart and mind? Most Playing for Change songs are a compilation of musicians and vocalists from ALL corners of the world. After listening to the following songs, I FEEL PART OF THIS WORLD, THE LOVING WORLD, THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. Love fills my heart and hope is restored to my mind. And then I get to work.
I hope these songs help to do the same for you, too. I find them helpful before logging on to MAKE SOME CALLS.
Let's start with One Love
We must find peace before we literally destroy life on this planet.
Don't Worry
We are one people regardless of all the money spent to divide us, regardless of the heartless, greedy multi-nationals and private equity firms, the power hungry despots, and extreme zealots hoping to divide us.
We, the people of the world, have the power to push back against the destructive forces of those irresponsible powers IF WE REFUSE TO FEEL DIVIDED. Perhaps in time we will stop being divided. This is my hope for the world. Naive? Of course. However, we each get to choose whether or not to die with a pure heart or a polluted heart. I refuse to let the hate and destruction spewed by the dividers pollute my heart.
My favorite Gandhi quote
“They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.”
It takes love for one another to maintain the courage to refuse to play along with a policy that harms the innocent.
Love One Another is the only message that can heal this planet and overpower the hateful messages of the despots, the greedy, and the misguided zealots.
Bob Marley's Redemption Song
Lyrics "Redemption Song"
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom-
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.
Won't you have to sing
This songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.
And my favorite Stand By Me.
We must continue to stand by each other and invite those whose hearts and minds have fallen victim to hateful divisiveness to join in the 21st Century need to save our planet and our very own families from the destructiveness we will all face if we don't stop the greedy, the despots, and the extreme zealots.
