Confused?

“What’s wrong with the world, Mama?”

In the wake of the tragic events in Paris this weekend, this week’s From The Vault spotlight’s a song which asks a question that sadly still remains. Today’s pick is ‘Where Is The Love?’ by the Black Eyed Peas.

Released in 2003, the song’s lyrics ring oddly true in this very time of despair and sorrow. At this moment, no rant about chart trajectory and promotional video facts from the TGJ team is necessary, we’ll only encourage folk to listen to the message embedded in the track.

To everyone affected in anyway by the recent terrorists attacks in France but also in Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Iraq, we would like to show our continued love and support in these dark moments. We pray for better and brighter days for you and your families and hope that – somehow – through it all something positive arises from all this undeserved suffering.

This one is for FREEDOM, ART, UNITY, PEACE and most importantly, LOVE!
