Guest Garry Huxley Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Watching the news over the the last couple of days, I think of the classic club soul tune by Timmy Thomas = WHY CANT WE LIVE TOGETHER. Which i play weekly. Murder of inocent people all lover the world in the name of politics and comerce and fat cats gettin rich by selling us out to protect their intrestests. SOUL MUSIC HAS A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD use your vote to make a difference If This is in wrong place sorry but i'm pretty pissed of about murder in the name of politics, Mass murder.

Patto Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Good Words Gary and yes there are many Great soul records that send out Moral messages to prick at the conscience of the world. Three more records from our scene with great social commentry lyrics are these belters,If only someone was listening.

spot Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I'm in agreement but I'm afraid Politics and Religion are the main cause of War's and the Middle East etc has shown that for generations, it's ok to sing about morality and empathy and everything else but only we can put it into practice and I'm afraid at some point we all pick sides, nice thought and sentiment though.

Guest manusf3a Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) As Curtis Mayfield r.i.p bless him, says "We got to have peace". and the people in the neighbourhood , they would if they only could meet and shake the others hand ...etc We got to have peace. So many great songs with that message from Curtis !!!! standing up against war,oppression ,injustice timeless soul messages for us all .Love all Mayfields work but Roots is well up there, when first hearing this album back in the seventies was instantly struck by and still am by the track"Underground", that track was also one of my mate Wilkies favourite s, at that time we were both well into,Roots,Back to the World,Superfly and so on for listening to midweek between nighters, they would get loads of plays at mine.I certainly believe that through the medium of soul music there is indeed a message to the world,a message that can and does inspire.Of course its only we that put into practice the time , morality and empathy that such songs are meant(And for many do) to inspire and people do act in different ways choose different sides but even if at the very smallest influence a person comes to think about things a bit more deeply than they did before this in itself is good(though of course going further and putting those things into practice would be better.) Of course Spot is right about politics and religion causing so much War and hatred between men and its been like that for time as!!I dont have any faith in politicians here or anywhere else, even less faith in so called men of peace and religions army of talking head front men who do not practice the peace they preach towards men.Like many others I 'm sure,when the talking heads start to open their mouths I am on the look out for the lies,whats the catch, whats the angle this time !Thank the heavens for the true voices of love and togetherness when I do hear them as they are instantly recognisable as coming from the heart,soul spirit in contrast to the stale message of the worlds "placemen".Especially thanks when I hear that voice of truth in the form of a soul song with to me its spirit and inspiration.

Mick Boyle Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I thought this track came out on a K Tel album, Super Bad or Black Explosion but just checked and its not there. I cam remember it on a TV advert years ago and have always loved it. A massive intro to match cloud nine. This video gets the message across but isn't pleasant viewing 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Lucky One Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 The one thing all wars have had in common throughout history is that they have all been fought by ordinary people not the idiots who start them. when are people going to stop listening to them and just get on with there lives, times running out for all of us what ever we do with our lives. I have every respect for our armed forces I must add, as my late grandfather said I wasted five of the best years of my life fighting Hitlers war and he was one of the lucky ones who came home and lived a long and full life, another quote he made was that any one who has lived through a war would never start one. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The killing of anybody in the name of religion is wrong and must stop. Whatever you belive respect others and live and let live. Garry Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
