Weird! Every time Disaster Strikes, Someone Makes A Song


When people are sad, they want to be given an opportunity to recover from it. Kind words, best wishes and such are helpful. I am not sure making songs is the best way to help people recover--what good does it really do? I give you this, songs often fit commemoration sad occasions and parented to honor the victims. When in reality  it's all self serving and it's all about personal glory.

If I am wrong why each time, a song like this plays, a commercial to buy a coke, or a washing detergent plays? Because, they need to pay the bills, and sobbing alone does not bring anything.

Take the massacre that took place in the Sinai desert--the fallen hero were gunned down by thugs, and clowns who use religion to achieve their own narrow agendas. Yet, the singers of Egypt could not leave it alone and instead put together an old song and brought it back.

When the song Seena was released few years ago, nobody cared much. Now it comes back to life. While I love the song, I have no clue how it helps. They made songs about peace yet people have none. Maybe I am being cynical, but someone has to look at things in a different light.
