Def Bob Marley's redemption song.

most of pac's songs- i.e, Brenda's got a baby (i think a lot of people opened their eyes after hearing that),

Pac raised a lot of issues/concerns that needed to be addressed at the time- and some of which still do- Killuminate!

Remember this one? It definately shaped my understanding of politics at an early age. I remember hearing it as a child in primary school, and although perhaps some of the deeper implications may have escaped me, it still touched a nerve... and still does.

Julian Lennon - saltwater:

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We’ll make the desert bloom
We’re so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that’s not enough
For the world I love is dying
(and now I’m crying)
And time is not a friend
(no friend of mine)
As friends we’re out of time
And it’s slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of mars
We’re so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that’s not enough
For the world I love is dying
(and now I’m crying)
And time is not a friend
(no friend of mine)
As friends we’re out of time
And it’s slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes

Saltwater wells in my eyes

"Indifference" - Pearl Jam

i will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
i will stand arms outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
i will make my way, through, one more day in hell...
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make...
i will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make..
how much difference...
i'll swallow poison, until i grow immune
i will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
how much difference
how much difference
how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make...
I love this song and for years that is the song I listen to on new years eve.
