DO YOU REALIZE?

Everyday, at a moment or another, I check the news trying to find out what's happening in this scary world we are living in. We probably all do it, but we've all got different point of views and opinions depending on the subject. The fact is that I haven't felt happy or satisfied after reading the news in a very long time.

All it does is making me realize how most of us are unfortunately pretty messed up. Not like I didn't know that already but any chance there could be a little bit of peace going on. Actually sick of hearing about Rupert Murdoch, DSK and his sexual issues or the United Nations claiming that there is famine in Somalia as if we didn't know that already.

I am not a hippie, even if I tend to dress like one sometimes, and I am not trying to spread a peace and love message. It would be ridiculous as I'm a nobody. But I am sick of the climate of tension that has been going on for the past decade.

This is not a rebellion message and I am not a guru wannabe but just a journalist that feels like there is a song for every moment of our life. There is a song for love, there is a song for hate, there is a song for sadness and there is a song for happiness. What I mean is that music is probably the only thing that could bring everyone together. Lyrics are strong and have the power to make people understand things.

Listening to "Do you realize" by the Flaming Lips is probably one of the best way to let that anger go.

Perhaps it only works for TrUe OuTsIdErS, see for yourself.
