Hey guys, i currently need songs about issue around the world, such as proverty, abuse
war, world enviroment etc etc.
It is a vocals project, and i am presenting next week, and i still have no song.
So any english songs that are simple, or just any songs at all
would be alot of help.

THANKS GUYS <3

Pink - Family Portrait
Black Eyed Peas - Where is the Love?

People tell me Pink's Mr. President is pretty sad.. but I haven't listened to any American music recently so I wouldn't know.

I'd second Black Eyed Peas - Where is the Love?
Arco - Happy New Year
Epik High - Mr Doctor, Flow
persian princes - victims
bob dylan - blowing in the wind, like a rolling stone, masters of war


I know willie nelson hosts anti-war songs on his site and maybe you might find something here wink.gif

I immediately thought of Sarah Mclachlan's World On Fire because of the video.
It's a soft song too - good to evoke emotion.

one - u2&maryjblige
600 million children live in absolute poverty. 30,000 children die each day due to poverty
Number of children in the world: 2.2 billion. Number in poverty: 1 billion (every second child)
400 million children, one in five, have no access to safe water. Meanwhile, unsafe water and sanitation cause about 4,000 child deaths per day. Every year more than 10 million children die of hunger and preventable diseases - that's over 30,000 per day and one every 3 seconds.

more than 4 lines text (5 lines + 1 empty line), pls trim it down to 4 lines.

U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Please", both songs about the conflict with Northern Ireland.
check out U2's 1997 MTV video awards performance of "Please" or from their Popmart tour.

Avant - Now You Got Someone
Hawk Nelson - Fourteen
Damien Rice - 9 Crimes (Not so sure about this song)
Linkin Park - Bleed It Out
Nicholas Jonas - Joy To The World (A Christmas Prayer)

The Beatles - Revolution 1
Jim Sturgess - Revolution

(They're both the same song...if you want something that sounds "newer", I'd go with the second one.)
