My brother Philip who is three years younger than me, and I really like this song going back when I must have been about 12 or 13 years old. We did not know about YouTube, and other ways to obtain music of the internet. We waited for the song to come on BLI, which was about once every hour, and taped recorded it.
To this day I like this song. Like other songs I have blogged about, it opens one’s eyes up to society. A part that currently stands out to me is about how we are concerned about all the other countries doing harmful acts to us, but look at the people we have right here. We have “children crying,” and people turning their heads away from the truth. The main question that this song focuses on is “where is the love?” So, where is it?
In the music video they show how on the news are negative things. What catches the main attention of the media and then spread to the public is what is happening that is not good, rather than focusing on who is doing positive things in society. Sometimes it feels like those that are committing crimes becomes more famous and well-known compared to someone who is volunteering a lot of their time, running fun events for the community, and doing good for society.
Here is the official music video.
