I posted this track just a couple of weeks ago. But after everything that has been happening in Iran the past seven days, I found it only fitting to post it again today.
I'm still in shock that so many people around me are completely ignorant to the current situation in Iran. Open your eyes, pals. People are dying, fighting for their freedom. The government is killing its own people. And this terror continues. If you're one of the many people who are more concerned with Perez Hilton's feud with Will.I.Am than foreign affairs, do yourself a favor and do a quick google search on Iran. Educate yourself. Get involved.
And if you don't know who Neda is, get off your silly little cloud and watch the video. I'm not going to post the link; you can find it yourself. Neda was a young, beautiful woman who was protesting with her father in Iran. Sadly, she was targeted and killed, and it was captured on video. People all over the world began posting this video on Facebook and Twitter. Apparently, her name means "voice" in Persian. How fitting; she has become the voice representing change in Iran.
If only social media emerged 15 years ago. Maybe the former Yugoslavia wouldn't be in the state it's in now. Maybe Americans would be more aware that there's more to this life than Heidi and Spencer and E! News. The world needs a revolution now more than ever.
Peace.
