Melissa Etheridge …. ‘PULSE’ …. “Anthem for Our Sorrow …. “!!

~~June 16, 2016~~ 

MUSIC IS THE VOICE OF THE SOUL

I just found out about her song this afternoon.

We all know how soothing music is at times when the heart aches.

We are hurting in Orlando.

It’s been a long week.

At this time, all I have found is the song in SoundCloud.

It’s a beautiful, amazing, heartfelt song.

As soon as she publishes a YouTube video, I will post it.

For the time being, click on the link provided below and listen to the lyric of this powerful song.

An anthem indeed!

The legendary out singer initially wrote a song about Orlando to make herself less scared and angry.

But putting it out into the world, “feels like holding someone’s hand.”

Melissa Etheridge had just rolled into New York City on her tour bus Sunday mornin, June 12, when she heard the news about Orlando.

Like most LGBT people, she instantly felt helpless and uneasy.

“I found myself roaming around my apartment,” she tells The Advocate. After spending too much time staring at the nearby Freedom Tower, she picked up her guitar. “I knew that would make me feel better, and I just started writing.”

The result is “Pulse,” a rousing testament to humanity and love overcoming hate. In the song, Etheridge sings,

“I dream in a world that wants my soul / That tells me if I hate I can control / But I don’t believe it / I cannot conceive it / Because everybody has a pulse”

It’s earnest but beautiful; steadfastly positive against all odds.

“Once again I hang my head to cry / I can’t find a reason why they died / We will find the answer / Blowin’ in the wind”

PULSE

(LOVE WILL ALWAYS WIN)
Everybody’s got a pain inside
Imaginary wounds they fight to hide
How can I hate them
When everybody’s got a pulse

I dream in a world that wants my soul
That tells me if I hate I can control
But I don’t believe it
I cannot conceive it because
Everybody’s got a pulse

CHORUS
I am human I am love
And my heart beats with my blood
Love will always win
Underneath the skin
Everybody’s got a pulse

Once again I hang my head to cry
I can’t find the reason why they died
We will find the answer
Blowing in the wind that
Everybody’s got a pulse

CHORUS
Who ya gonna hate now
When there’s no one left but you
Who ya gonna gun down
When you can’t kill the truth
That its inside of us
It’s inside the blood
It’s inside a pulse

I am human I am love
And my heart beats in my blood
Love will always win
Underneath the skin
Everybody’s got a pulse

Hands up if you’re alive
Hands up if you’re alive

Love will always win
Underneath the skin
Everybody’s got a pulse

We ALL are connected through HUMANITY!! 

We ALL are ONE!!

WE ARE NOT BORN RACIST

To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow.

A dear blogger friend taught me this concept.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

We ALL are connected through HUMANITY!! 

To start the day …. Throwback to “We Are the World”!!

~~August 28, 2014~~

Why are there so many differences between human beings? There are characteristics that define us in different groups, I accept that but deep down, we are the same. 

We are conceived the same way, we come into this way the same way. Anatomically speaking, we are the same. The biological processes that keep our metabolism going and the cellular functions going are the same. Our DNA is the same. 

It’s only outside, physical attributes that make us different.

“We may have different religions, different languages, different color skin, but we all belong to one human race.”

Why can’t we all realize this and accept that we are the same and that we are ONE?

What touches one, touches all.

We ALL bleed RED!! 

The Potential is there, so is the Spirit. All that is needed is the Spark.

“We Are the World” is a song and charity single originally recorded by the supergroup USA for Africa in 1985. It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World. With sales in excess of 20 million copies, it is one of the fewer than 30 all-time singles to have sold at least 10 million copies worldwide.

Following Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” project in the UK, an idea for the creation of an American benefit single for African famine relief came from activist Harry Belafonte, who, along with fundraiser Ken Kragen, was instrumental in bringing the vision to reality. Several musicians were contacted by the pair, before Jackson and Richie were assigned the task of writing the song. The duo completed the writing of “We Are the World” seven weeks after the release of “Do They Know Its Christmas“, and one night before the song’s first recording session, on January 21, 1985. (The last recording session for the song was held on January 28, 1985). The historic event brought together some of the most famous artists in the music industry at the time.

The song was released on March 7, 1985, as the only single from the album. A worldwide commercial success, it topped music charts throughout the world and became the fastest-selling American pop single in history. The first ever single to be certified multi-platinum, “We Are the World” received a Quadruple Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America.

“We Are the World” and raised over $63 million for humanitarian aid in Africa and the US.
Following the devastation caused by the magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, a remake of the song by another all-star cast of singers was recorded on February 1, 2010. Entitled “We Are the World 25 for Haiti“, it was released as a single on February 12, 2010, and proceeds from the record aided survivors in the impoverished country.
