New Music Page with Songs of Social Significance
Well, it's taken us a couple months, but we've finally launched our new music page with a much longer list of "songs of social significance."
Part of the reason it's taken so long is because songs of social significance are kind of hard to come by. Basically, when we've asked people on the street, "Do you know any good songs of social siginificance" most people don't really know what that means.
So let me try to explain.
To us, songs of social significance are thought-provoking songs that touch on an important social issue. Issues such as homelessness, poverty, the cold war, domestic abuse, terrorism, racism, being a woman in modern society, and so on.
We know this list is not exactly comprehensive and we know there are a lot of fantastic songs out there that we've missed, which is why we hope in the coming weeks and months, you'll visit www.CivilizedNation.com/music often and send us your suggestions.
Send us as many songs as you like. If there are new bands you know that are singing songs about important social issues, send them our way.
Whatever song you're thinking of, send it to:
submissions[at]civilizednation.com
Any genre. Any artist. Any era.
Just make sure the song isn't all about bringin' someone down or how much the world sucks, etc. Take a look at the list we've got so far and we're pretty sure you'll see a pattern.
If the singer has got a story to tell about an important social issue, we want to hear about it.
In the meantime, keep on writing and rockin' and talkin' and workin' and doin' whatever you can each and every day to make this world a better place.
We'll keep doing the best we can too.
Sincerely,
The Editors
