Five Songs for the Weekend - XLI -

Terrible things going around the world, thousands of fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest, deforestation of tens of thousands of trees on Mount Ida due to gold mining activities and melting glaciers in Iceland due to climate change. I think we are about to near the critical point of no return and none of the governments seem to care about this catastrophic issue. The human race should not be taking real actions when push comes to shove, right?  (actually we are at a stage that push came to shove but still...). Isn't it why we are humans? Or are we not?

Let's be Pollyannas for a while and believe that music can heal all this dreadfulness...

As Plato once said;

“Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education.”

And here is the list for this weekend;

• Midnight Oil - "Blue Sky Mine"

• Placebo - "The Bitter End"

• Nina Simone - "Sinnerman"

• Belle & Sebastian - "I Want The World To Stop"

• Paco de Lucía & Al Di Meola - "Mediterranean Sundance"

Hope you have a great weekend.
