Music And Lyrics For A Good Cause: Songs For Charity
Music can be used as a fundraiser or to promote a cause. This has been proven a number of times by artists and musicians who created music and wrote lyrics based on their corresponding causes and sold them as singles, with the proceeds going to charity. For a charity effort, this type of fundraiser is actually very effective. After all, who can resist the urge of being able to help by buying a single by one (or some) of the best artists, singing songs that promote their causes and their charities. These singles, especially when they are done properly and impeccably, are sure to hit the charts by storm. Although they may not reach the number one spot all the time, they are surely hits that can at least reach the top 50 of the Billboard charts, for instance.
Take, for example, the recent song done during the Stand Up To Cancer telethon in America. Titled “Just Stand Up!,” this song was performed by some of the most popular and the best female artists in America, including Beyonce Knowles, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis, and Miley Cyrus, among others. This song reached the 11th spot of the Billboard Top 100—a feat for a charity effort. But while it is a charity song, this does not mean that the song isn’t any good. With music and lyrics created by Antonio Reid and Kenneth Edmonds, this song is just as good as any song on the airwaves today.
The lyrics of the song speak of resilence and strength during a time of hard times and problems; while the lyrics did not directly mention cancer, it alludes to it. Notice the kind of hope the lyrics what to instill, aptly fitting the intentions of the fundraiser: “I’m tellin’ you things get better through whatever / If you fall, dust if off, don’t let up / Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle / You need to know!” The lyrics pertain to how the charity of other people can help fund cancer research, although the general sense of the lyrics can also stand on its own.
Another similar song is “What’s Going On,” recorded in 2001 by a number of artists billed using the name “Artists Against AIDS Worldwide.” The song was originally recorded by Martin Gaye in the 1970s, so its AIDS advocacy was not intentional. Yet, the lyrics of the song have a theme that can work for the cause. For instance, this part of the lyrics is general, but it can have additional depth when placed in the context of AIDS: “You see war is not the answer / For only love can conquer hate / You know we’ve got to find a way / To bring some lovin’ here today.”
An earlier attempt of this is the song “Voices That Care,” featuring some of the hottest artists during that time, including Will Smith, Luther Vandross, Celine Dion, Michael Bolton, Kenny G, and others. With lyrics aiming to boost the spirits of the troops during the Gulf War, this reached top spots in various charts in the country—and the world. This goes to show that a sincere song with sincere lyrics and admirable intentions can go a long way.

how can I listen to one song over and over again. but I cant stand other music?
I can listen to Dont Cry by Guns n Roses over and over again, every day, every minute while I’m on a computer, I’m doing this for months, and the song isnt on my nerves. but when its a radio on in the kitchen, then I have to turn it off immediately cause I just cant listen to other music. I can listen to Dont Cry at any time, but I just dont like other songs.
how can this be? and the song is perfect to me.
you love the song. other songs aren’t suited to your tastes . everyone has different music tastes, and you may not like different songs because they just aren’t something you like

New Vinyl Website Focuses on the Social Elements of Records and Music
Well, we made it. The vinyl record revival is in full swing. With many independent artists issuing new releases via the format and many mainstream artists following suit, it is a great place in music history. Add to this the numerous reissues of classic LP’s and the vinyl comeback is complete.
Along with the vinyl revival are new Internet web sites that cater to collectors and music lovers. One such site that has just launched is www.NYLVI.com, is social marketplace that will support independent artists, labels and record stores and will aid in the spreading of musical innovation to the global community of music lovers and record collectors.
I spoke with NYLVI co-founder Ivar Lien about the goals, ideals and values of this new, growing vinyl record community:
There are many vinyl sites on the Internet today, what will set yours apart from the others- what will make you unique?
“We think there are two main aspects that set us apart from other sites. First of all, we have structured our marketplace to reflect the world’s major music scenes. This we hope will make it easier for users to discover more new music and that local artists will be able to find a bigger audience. To make this possible we are cooperating with some of the finest bloggers from these scenes, so previews of all their posts can be read on our scene pages. Instead of creating distant editorials and boring recommendations, we think it’s much better to give the word to local experts, who participate in these scenes on a daily basis.”
“A second aspect we think set us a part from other services is how we emphasize the social aspects of vinyl collecting. We want to be something more than a simple marketplace. Through various features we want to include the users and enable increased interaction. We want to be a community for music and vinyl enthusiasts, a place where they can meet, share and exchange knowledge and experiences.”
Obviously, you and your partners feel that vinyl is a good niche to get into, but why the interest in vinyl- where do you see the vinyl record in, let’s say ten years from now?
“NYLVI is definitely all about vinyl. We love pretty much everything about the format, but also part of the reason we have started a business focused exclusively around vinyl is that we think it’s very compatible with the digital future of the music industry. In the next years we think vinyl’s position is going to grow much stronger. In music and art in general, it seems like it’s a strong movement away from postmodernism and over to what Bourriaud has called the altermodern, where more art is made as a protest and reaction against standardization and commercialism in an increasingly globalized world.”
“Digital music enables fast and easy sharing between people, which we love, but it also makes music and songs feel more like a commodity. The vinyl revival can be seen as reaction against this, where both artists and listeners appreciate the more exclusive qualities of the vinyl format. In ten years vinyl will still be a niche format, but hopefully a bigger and more vibrant niche!”
Is your site ‘modeled’ after anyone in particular?
“No, we cannot say that we have modeled our site after anyone in particular. Of course we have glanced at other sites for inspiration, however these sites span across a wide range. We have tried to take ideas from these sites and turn them into something new with NYLVI. The most important thing for us has been to do our own thing and create something that music and vinyl lovers hopefully will enjoy using. That said, we live in a time where speed of change is accelerating, and we constantly look forward and will continue to develop and improve to be one of the most complete and enjoyable places to buy music on vinyl.”
So this will be a global site, encouraging members from all over the world?
“Yes, part of what we found so fascinating with starting an online marketplace for vinyl was how we in a way would be situated at the junction between the global and local. Here users, artists, labels, record stores and collectors from around the world can come together and, by drawing on special knowledge from within local scenes, explore new music or discover old classics they have been looking a long time for.”
What does NYLVI mean or stand for?
“It both means and stands for VINYL first of all! But we also want NYLVI to be associated with the same values and ideals as your local independent record shop: knowledge, enthusiasm and love of music, support of artists and musical communities, and contribution to local variations and musical diversity.”
What do you listen to, what is your kind of music?
“Close to impossible to answer this. I guess we have an extremely broad music taste. We’re big fans of garage rock, like the whole line of bands from the 60’s like The Sonics and Chocolate Watchband and upwards with The Pandoras, The Lemon Spiders, The Fleshtones, The Fuzztones, The Cramps, Reigning Sound, Swingin Neckbreakers, King Khan & BBQ and Los Peyotes and, and, and…. But we are also big fans of African Funk and high-life music. I guess one of the records we have been listening most to this year is the Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump compilation, which is really awesome. And it’s a lot of new exciting music coming out from London now, the outernational inspired artists like Roots Manuva and Radioclit have all been making really cool music lately. And there are so many other artists too from Bo Diddley and Bob Dylan to Momus, Xiu Xiu and OOTORUICHI. It’s a long list.”
So if you are a buyer or seller of vinyl records, NYLVI.com brings a fresh new online presence that will continue to bring the value of the vinyl record to the forefront, both musically and socially. After all, it is about the music and music is a social phenomenon in itself.
