Top 15 Positive Songs

 Over the years songs have been put out with a positive message that we all should hear and even make them a part of ours lives. In this blog I will be listing my top 15 positive songs that I think the world needs to really hear. 

The songs are in no real order. They can be a personal positive message or a positive message about people in general. I will have a link to the video or song.

1) Firework by Katy Perry - This song is a self positive song that sends a great message. It can lift anybody up who is feeling down about themselves. Video Here

2) Everyday people by Sly & the family stone - I love this song. It's from the 70's and I remember growing up hearing this song. The world needs to hear this one for it sends a message about no matter our color etc, we are just people. This song will never get old for me. Video Here

3) Imagine by John Lennon - This is another classic that I'm sure everyone knows. I wish the world could live as one. Video here

4) Give piece a chance by John Lennon - Another oldie that gives a really good message to the world. The only thing I don't like about this song is that the chorus gets repeated over and over. Most of the song is the chorus. Other than that, it's a really great one to listen to. Video here

5)Love one another by Tito Jackson - This is a brand new song that just came out by Michael Jackson's brother Tito. Their brother Marlon also has vocal parts. I think this is another important song for everyone to hear. It has a great beat too. A lot of famous people and Jackson family members appear in the video which I think is cool. I am so addicted to this song at the moment. If you haven't heard it yet, you should and then share it. Video here

6)Fucking perfect by Pink - A great self positive song. Video here

7) Beautiful by Christina Aguilera - Another self positive song that goes along with Fucking perfect I think. Video here

8)Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson - I really love this song. I think the whole album has great messages and can make one think. I love the music video too. Video here

9)Keep the faith by Michael Jackson - I think this is an underrated song. It's very uplifting and has helped me get through some bad days. Audio Here

10) Don't stop believing by Journey - Who doesn't know and love this song? Audio here

11) Heal the world by Michael Jackson - Another great song by Michael Jackson Video here

12) Unpretty by TLC - Another song that I love and has a strong message about one's self. Video here

13) Born this way by Lady Gaga - This is kinda different self positive song but I felt it should be included. Video here

14) When we stand together by Nickleback - I know a lot of people don't like this group but they do have a positive message in this song. Video here

15) One night of peace by New kids on the block - This came out a couple of years ago I believe. Although I think we should have more than one night of peace, I think it still has a great message. Audio here

Hornable mention: This young lady from this season of America's got talent has an amazing voice. She got the golden buzzard but couldn't go on because her cancer has come back. She battled it once before and beat it but it came back and is taking a toll on her. Hell, even Simon Cowell started to get choked up when talking to her via video. Anyways, she did a song of her own called It's okay. I don't remember her real name but she goes by Nightbird. Here is the audio of her song: Click here

I know there are more positive songs out there that the world needs to hear or that we need to hear about ourselves but this is what came to mind when I thought about doing this list. 

There are a few sayings I want to close out with:

From Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation album: "In complete darkness we are all the same. It's only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you."

Anonymous about just getting along: "People just really need to to chill the fuck out. We're floating in space on a giant rock that we can't leave. Look at the stars or something, stop being so awful"

Another anonymous about equal rights: "Equal rights for others does not mean less rights for you. It's not pie."

I'm So Sorry...Is It Really Enough?

 We are constantly hearing those words, "I'm so sorry" from people after saying something wrong on social media or tv. If someone was a teen and said something wrong then years later realized they were wrong and apologizes, that's one thing. Young people may not truly get how wrong they are being and as they grow, they learn and change their thoughts. What is getting on my nerves is when adults who 100% know better say something very wrong then when they get called out on it, they say how sorry they are, they should know better etc etc.

I get that people make mistakes and sometimes at the heat of the moment, may something out of line but come on, this is getting out of hand. Adults are fully aware that words have power, they hurt and can cause harm to others. It's called think before you freakin' open your mouth! How can one not know that what they are saying is wrong if they are an adult? It isn't difficult to know if what you are about to say is disrespectful and hurtful. 

The newest thing I heard is about some news caster said something wrong about an Asian baseball player and how he doesn't speak English or doesn't speak it very well. How could he not know what he said was wrong before he said it? It's not brain surgery. Now he is saying sorry, he didn't know, since then he learned it was wrong, WTF? What is he, two? Yeah that is kind rude but it pisses me off that as an adult he had to learn this within a few days of saying something hateful that it was wrong? I have no remorse for people who speak hateful words especially when it is racists. As an adult, what is it that you still have to learn that you didn't learn in your earlier life that you don't say things like that?

Same with Christy Teigen. When she told someone they should kill themselves and other very disrespectful things. She was an adult when she said those nasty things to people, old enough to know better and to have learned already that you don't talk to people like that, yet she keeps saying sorry for things she has said and keeps coming up with "reasons". 

I'm not really on the cancel culture wagon but I think we need to start holding people accountable when they say harmful nasty things to or about others. We do live in a free speech country so I don't know how we could hold someone accountable for free speech. God am I already tired of the I'm sorry. It's gotten to the point where I don't believe most of the people who say it because I think most are just sorry they got caught and called out on it and they are trying to save their ass. 

I know this isn't going to stop but I need to vent about it because I am beyond tired of this kind of behavior from people who are old enough to know right from wrong. Saying sorry isn't enough for me anymore. People just need to think before they speak and watch what they say especially if you are in the public eye. 

Oh another person that just needs to stop is Wendy Williams. It seems like every time she opens her mouth it's something horrible against someone. She doesn't say sorry most of the time (which is fine by me)and she still has people following her. That is just as bad, that so many people think it's okay that she talks crap about other people. They are basically giving her the okay to continue to bad mouth others, so disgusting. 

What happened to respect and empathy for others? UGH

A Messiah

I recently watched the Netflix show Messiah (review of it click here). While watching it, it got me thinking about things so besides doing a review about it, I decided to do this regular blog.

How do you think the world would react if all of a sudden someone claimed to be the new son of God? I am sure on a daily basis there is someone saying they are God or a son of God but those people sadly have something wrong in their brain. So would we react any different if there was an actual new son of God here on earth? Would what it take for people, for you to believe that what this person is saying is true? Even if you haven't seen the show or don't even believe in a God, what would make you believe?

Just like in the show, I am sure some would believe and follow, some would not believe and the government would want to investigate thinking he might be a terrorist or a dangerous cult leader if certain things happened. I think that's what helps make that show great, it pretty much shows how collectively the world would behave.

Since everyday there is someone out there claiming to be the word of God, God himself or his son, I think a real Messiah would have to really prove himself to be legit. Although, we would probably just think he was an illusionist. It would have to take some real "magic" to make most of us believe he was the real thing. Just automatically believing a guy like that can be dangerous if they are mentally ill and/or just trying to start a cult.

So let's say it has been proven he is the real deal, now what? If you talked to him, what would you ask? How would you feel knowing that there is a God and his son is standing before you especially if you didn't believe in a God beforehand? How would the world change by him being here?

I like to think the world would be able to heal and become better. There might be religious wars on the street and chaos at first. Places like North Korea might be harder to break through since they cut tend to cut themselves off from the world. Maybe he will have answers on how to fix our planet and to end the "religion wars" that we tend to have. He would be able to set the record straight. I know he wouldn't be able to give away all the answers but I like to think he could answer a lot of them.

Since I believe in a God but not religion, it would just confirm my beliefs. I have no idea what I would ask. Maybe things like, what does he think about all the "sins" people say are against God? How does he really feel about LGTBQ, horror movies, exorcisms and other paranormal things. Does things really do happen for a reason? How is my mom doing and can she really hear me when I talk to her? How can the world fix things like hunger and the homeless? I am not sure how I feel if he was to stand before me, probably cry and my anxiety would probably kick in. The only thing I would want from him is to cure the few health issues I have going on that can sometimes interfere with my life.

So those are my thoughts and feelings. If I had the right microphone and didn't have anxiety, I would probably do some Youtube videos and this blog would be one video I would make so I could read other people's thoughts on this subject and more. Maybe someday.
