Saving the World From Us
These days are fragile and need healing and love and to put the issues, answers, and frustrations into song is a step forward in trying to heal. All the great Artist that is living and has passed on sang about politics and the world issues that we all deal with. Here a few issues to sing about but you choose and pick what you like to sing about and give awareness on.
- Save the Oceans (Pollution – Over Fishing , Save the Corral Reefs))
- Save the Animals(All Animals)
- Pollution(Recycling)(Air-Ozone Layers) (Innovators- the ones fighting and combating the world’s pollution)
- World Peace (Love-No War)
- World- Nation Crime Rates
- Breast Cancer Awareness
- LGBTQ Rights
- BLM Rights
- Police Brutality
- Any and All Racism
- Genocide
- Etc………..
And these are several issues that may be turned into a beautiful piece of music. Just like taking something negative and turning it into a treasure. I think about this exercise and the first artist I think about that had songs that everybody could resonate with is James Brown and Bob Marley. They sang songs that made a difference. When writing your new lyrics have them in mind. they were Original and had their own style. Everyone took each word they sang to heart and soul. When you can apply a song to your lifestyle you know you have a great piece of art and their songs are truly that.

The Love Series#2:
Love The World We’re In❤️🩹🌍🌎🌏❤️🩹:
Write a song in honor of the World and Mother Nature. Talk about healing the Rock that we all live on talk about healing the relationships that we all share with each other. Share resolutions of the earths issues by sharing heartfelt words like the Romance of Saving The Honey Bee or ridding trash and plastics in the Ocean or clean water in our cities and states and or abroad ( countries villages, towns cities etc.) these are examples but you can choose any world issue and resolve it in song. Take it and solve it and make it beautiful. example; Like We Are The World. I’m showing my age I’ll find a video of the song if it’s available on YouTube. I feel it’s long over due for a song with multiple artist on the song showing love and resolution I think a new song video out would be extraordinary.We Are The World Link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AjkUyX0rVw
I hope the Blast from the Past resonate with your creative spirit to create something Priceless. Something touching to the soul. Something that’s Timeless and makes a mark in History of the world. Make the multiple verses for different vocalist just like in We Are The World . Use all genres to sing even Opera , reggae and Rap I think that would be updated with the times
❤️🩹Always Have Fun❤️🩹
