It seems that lately things are changing, or maybe it just becomes more clear when you read up on it. Lyrics strike me more lately, videos, news reports.
Maybe the world is actually waking up. This subforum is created to start discussions about the changes we see in the world and in the music industry. I thought about it when I was watching X FACTOR tonight. There was a performance of Cheryl Cole and I hear the song on the radio at least 4 times a day: "Fight for this love". Her performance actually made me smile, because I saw some familiar things, here's the video:
[youtube:2bqbhcjm]
The outfit, the army and last but not least; the fist she makes several times. It's the fist of resistance, of the Black Panther Party. MJ made this fist a lot, it's the fist with the thumb over the fingers and I have the feling I see it a lot lately.
And here are the lyrics of the song. We gotta FIGHT for this love...
Too much of anything can make you sick
Even the good can be a curse
Makes it hard to know which road to go down
Knowing too much can get you hurt
Is it better? Is it worse?
Are we sitting in reverse?
It's just like we're going backwards
I know where I want this to go
Driving fast but let's go slow
What I don't wanna do is crash, no
Just know that you're not in this thing alone
There's always a place in me you can call home
Whenever you feel like we're growing apart
Let's just go back, back, back, back, back to the start
Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quitting's out of the question
When it gets tough gotta fight some more
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having it's worth fighting for
Now every day ain't gon' be no picnic
Love ain't a walk in the park
All you can do is make the best of it now
Can't be afraid of the dark
Just know that you're not in this thing alone
There's always a place in me you can call home
Whenever you feel like we're growing apart
Let's just go back, back, back, back, back to the start
Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quitting's out of the question
When it gets tough gotta fight some more
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having it's worth fighting for
I don't know where we're heading I'm willing and ready to go
We've been driving so fast we just need to slow down and just roll
Anything that's worth having
Is sure enough worth fighting for
Quitting's out of the question
When it gets tough gotta fight some more
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having it's worth fighting for
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love
If it's worth having it's worth fighting for
Same with the mention of Wikileaks.org in the mainstream media here in Holland and priests being fired from their function today. There is something in the air and it's worth discussing.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

The Uprising
The paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, the transmissions, will resume,
They'll try to push drugs to keep us all dumbed down,
And hope that we will never see the truth around,
SO COME? ON!
Another promise, another scene,Another package not to keep us trapped in greed,
With all? the green belts wrapped around our minds,
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined,
SO COME ON!
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
And we will? be victorious!
SO COME ON!
Interchanging mind-control,
Come, let the revolution take its toll,
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye,
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die,
SO COME ON!
Rise up and take the power back,
It's time that the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's? coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend!
SO COME ON!
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
And we will be victorious!
SO? COME ON!
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
And we will be victorious!
SO COME ON!
Mk Ultra lyrics
The wavelength gently grows,
Coercive notions re-evolve,
A universe is trapped inside a tear,
It resonates the core,
Creates unnatural laws,
Replaces love and happiness with fear
How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer until you break?
Your mind's about to fall
And they are breaking through,
They are breaking through,
Now we're falling,
We are losing control
Invisible to all,
The mind becomes a wall.
All of history deleted with one stroke
How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer until you break?
Your mind's about to fall
And they are breaking through,
They are breaking through,
Now we're falling,
We are losing control
MJ is a role-model.
And we think hey MJ is good!
But keep in mind that he is also a victim of mindcontrol!
With the knowledge we have about mindcontrol, we also know that it can be used for the most awful things.
Maybe we "think" that what we see is right>
We are programmed to see it as the "right thing" .
Dr. Nick Begich>http://www.earthpulse.com/src/category.asp?catid=13
has interesting lectures about mind-control. But i dont know or we can trust this man either. Personally im doubting and questioning everything from now on.
This video is interesting>http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3067216285084540231#
Can they mess with our minds?
Yes they can! <!-- s:x -->:x<!-- s:x -->
I only wanted to say> Be aware and keep on questioning everything.
Maybe you should read something more about the RTL-group.
Sorry xxx
This song was released already in 1991. I didn't think about the lyrics much then, but now that I'm full awake and aware - they're just brilliantly penned words.

Guns'n Roses - Civil War
(Slash / McKagan / Rose)
"What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land
And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
"We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer" **
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war
What's so civil 'bout war anyway
Thank you for posting this, It's one of my favourite Gn'R songs! It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.
The lyrics çontain a very true message: War only feeds the rich while it buries the poor.

Known as Nina Simona is considered one of the most special female voices in popular music of the 20th century. It is very difficult to classify it: was singer of jazz, blues, protest, pop, Opera, pianist, arranger and composer. Sang meaning be women and be black. He sang on solitude, the love, anger, racism and injustice.
Never turned into a "great Star Jazz" according to the conventional parameters. Had few blockbuster hits, perhaps because the houses American labels found it somewhat uncomfortable his militancy in the Black Panther Party, the largest movement of struggle for civil rights of people of African descent estadunidenses over the years 60 '
Born February 21, 1933 in Tryon, North Carolina in the United States.
Daughter of a worker and a domestic worker, was the sixth of eight children. Child prodigy, already played piano at the age of four. Along with his brothers sang in the chorus of the Methodist Church led by his mother, and with the help is your teacher who created a foundation that Eunice could continue studying both formal and musical, was able to reach Academy Julliard in New York where he studied piano in concert, little thing common to a woman of color for that time. During this period, his family moved to Philadelphia, where his parents tried to get her a scholarship at the Curtis Institute, but it was denied on racial grounds.
However, this was not the first nor the last time that Eunice had to prove employer taste of what it means to be discriminated against by the "color" of their skin. In 1943 at the age of 10 on the occasion of his first concert piano at the library of his hometown, parents were displaced from the first row seating to a "significant" white.
To help the family economically began working as a pianist companion in several nightclubs, and in 1954 while he was playing in an Irish pub in Atlantic City, the owner asked to to play, sing. It was then when Eunice changed its name to the Nina Simone, by the French actress Simone Signoret who admired and released publicly as a singer.
In 1963 the Ku Kux Klan members perpetrated a terrorist attack with explosives in a Birmingham, Alabama, an organizing centre of the black civil rights movement Baptist Church. The explosion killed four black girls who were in the interior of the Church. Nina Simone in reaction to this horrible fact composed his first protest song "Mississippi Goddam!" a furious complaint about the situation in which people of African descent in his country were living.
In the 1966 wrote "Four women", a protest song, almost as a four black women lament that deals with racial discrimination, the song was banned in New York and Philadelphia radio stations so pretext being "insulting to the people of color", logically rather than insulting to the people of color was that the "decent society" breathed not heard this complaint so shameful for herself
In 1968 she sang at the funeral of Martin Luther King.
In 1969 fed up with racism and disappointed by the pettiness of the world of music and American labels, Nina decided to leave his country. He lived in Barbados, in Liberia, in Switzerland, in Paris, in the Netherlands and finally in southern France near Marseilles, where he lived until his death that occurred on 21 April 2003.

In 1990 he recorded with Maria Bethania, in 1991 with Miriam Makeba. In 1998 he was guest of honour at the South African President Nelson Mandela who turned this opportunity of 80 years birthday.
During the first years of his career, did not consider a politically aware artist. Rather he was fascinated by songs of love, but in the manner of the black people. Felt own racism and national oppression for life, but regarded as them a single issue that had to be individually. However, entered into a process of change when broke the blacks fight against oppression in South.
He began to realize that what he had suffered and struggled to overcome was linked to passing you all the black people. Playwright Lorraine Hansberry was very friend and was put in the wave of the privacy policy.
Hansberry was help to recognize that the struggle for civil rights for blacks was part of a wider against national struggle and class and locate their own experiences of this fight. Nina also sought to discuss with people from different positions, as the Black author Langston Hughes, Stokeley Carmichael (Kwame Guissé) and, later, the Black Panther Party
At the beginning of the sixties, publicly supported the struggle of the black people against police brutality and other racist attacks. But, says in his autobiography I Put a Spell on You still could not
To enter more movement, sought how to explore themes and educate politically. Bregó very seriously with the issue of the strategy needed to free the black people of truth. Although supported Martin Luther King, Jr. and the movement who led had more in common with the radical sectors of the movement, such as Malcolm X, Stokeley Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, SNCC (student non-violent Coordinating Committee) and the Black Panther Party. He fell particularly well the Panthers because gave inspiration to the young black men before only knew the pacifist resistance model. According to Nina: "These boys realized by the Black Panthers there black heroes willing to fight and die if necessary to achieve what they want." "This I love; whites fear also not given, and we definitely need that."
Once an interviewer asked how I wanted to remember, and replied: "I want I remember as a diva that from the beginning to the end never relented in what he felt on racism and what should be the world, and was consistently until the end of their days".

His first political functions on behalf of the African American groups were associated with the movement of the Black Muslims who supported racial division. For this reason, symbolically changed his surname by an X that represented the unnamed African ancestors and then adopted the name of Malcolm X.
