Have a wonderful weekend people. I’ll be off to watch BLOOD DIAMOND late tonight after bowling at 1U. Sunday - a trip to Pulau Ketam awaits, with a bunch of blogging friends. :-) Watch out for that entry! Back to this one…

That love will find a way. Remember this 1995 hit by the Blessid Union of Souls? I love this song for sentimental reasons, especially the bit, “And he’ll see me as a person and not just a black man“. Classic.

Blessid Union of Souls - I Believe

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don’t ask any questions and don’t try to understand

Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me
Aren’t very far apart

Cause I believe, that love is the answer
I believe, love will find a way

Violence is spread worldwide and
There’s families on the street
We sell drugs to children now
Oh why can’t we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future
With things we do today
Money is our incentive now, so that makes it okay

I’ve been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She says she’s never been so happy
But Lisa lives in fear
That when her daddy is gonna find out
She’s in love with a nigga from the street
Oh how he would lose it then
But she’s still here with me

Cause she believes that love will see us through
And they’ll understand
And he’ll see me as a person and not just a black man

A Year Ago

  6. I’m sure you’ll enjoy BLOOD DIAMOND. I hear it’s good.

    Watched BABEL last night - excellent flick. Don’t miss it!

  7. Riddle me this: Why does Springsteen love Scousers?

    I wrote all about it… just for my dear Liverpool friends!

  8. Jemima Have sent both the songs to ya! Enjoy! :-D

    tihtahpah Yes, I can. All of us can. :-P

    earl-ku & philters Good taste once again! OLE! :-)

    Keropok I think so too, looking forward to that movie. Dicaprio has wisely been choosing the right films since Titanic. BABEL, a definite watch - I’m usually up for anything Oscar material. Have a great weekend amigo! :-) I can’t believe you wrote a piece for Liverpoo fans. That’s blasphemy! :-P

  9. I entrust you to do a piece on The Boss in your blog soon, Dan. How about my fav Springsten song - Human Touch.

    Oh girl that feeling of safety that you prize
    Well it comes at a hard hard price
    You cant shut off the risk and the pain
    Without losing the love that remains
    Were all riders on this train

    That’s the truth, brother…

  10. Keropok A Springsteen piece is inevitable. :-)

  11. Solomon Vandy is just a cameraman.

  12. Blood Diamond is a nice drama, hoped you enjoyed it.

  13. i love this song man….. but radio as usual over played this song during its hay day……..
