korean or english? current or old?

english:
green day's "wake me up (when september ends)"... touching vid about a dude in the military
kanye west's "through the wire"... footage about his struggle to fame

korean:
KISS "because i'm a girl"... everyone loves this one
soulstar "only one for me"... another touching vid

i know there's a million good vids out there, i'm just kinda out of touch and still adjusting to life back home, but i hope these help!

Sorry I couldn't save you, brothers. Rest in peace forever my friends...

creditz go to charzzy for the great sig

OMG!!
umm

you should totaly watch the collaboration between Babyface and Stevie Wonder. The song is called "how come, how long"
anyways, it has a pretty good message about abuse.

Since I'm at school and can't get to YouTube or anything (they're all blocked), I would say the music video for these:

"What I've Done" by Linkin Park
Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" (the one with the old guy and the prostitute girl and the thug. Their different situations and whatnot. There are, like, 45324 (okay 3) different versions of it).
"Runaway Love" by Ludacris featuring Mary J. Blige or however yoy spell her last name... u_u)
"Where'd You Go" by Fort Minor
"They Don't Really Care About Us" by Micheal Jackson
"Earth Song" by Micheal Jackson
... okay, so Micheal Jackson isn't really current, but it works.

So yeah... I had a few more, but I kept getting brain farts and forgetting their name. So yeah. I think I'm gonna go home now... (At school. ^^) Peace-ness. And good luck with your project.

I think Rise Against makes pretty good songs/videos about global issues.
"Ready to Fall"-Rise Against [about how environmental problems/animal cruelty]
"Prayer of the Refugee"-Rise Against [about sweatshops/how we use other nations for our benefit]
There's more, mostly hip hop and R&B ones, but I can't think of any right now.

you should try OUTLANDISH....every song of them has a messege.they sing in english on Danemark but they are very faimous in all Europe.One is from Pakistan,one is from Honduras and the other from Marroco.One is Chatolic and the others two are musulim so their music is very complex.their music is goes most around the muslim wold but that dosen't mean they don't speak the truth.
BTW i'm a baptist

my favorite songs are "Callin you" and "Aicha"

Aicha

Callin You (this is one of my fav songs, i listen to it every day)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggEjRDKJbQg

I Only Ask Of God (thai song is about the war and his victims- the lyrics are very touching)

Ooh! Another music video that hasn't been mentioned is...

Can I Live? by Nick Cannon ft. Anthony Hamilton

It's about Pro-choice/Pro-life issues.
