QUESTION TO ALL MUSICIANS ACROSS THE GLOBE
The question is that why most of the songs musicians make are about love and merry? It is alright to sing about love and merry. However, sing to promote peace, sing about freedom, sing to promote job creation, sing about health, sing about poverty eradication, sing about hunger eradication, sing about shelter, sing about food production, sing about food wastes, sing about water, sing about diseases, sing about air pollution, sing to end wars, sing to stop killings, sing about education, sing about the entire environment, sing about species, sing about nature, sing about peoples welfare, sing about human predicaments, sing about human rights and above all sing about human life. There are many titles out there that musics can be made to shape human society in many ways. Music is a very powerful tool to communicate to wider society. Music speaks to the heart. Music speaks to the mind. Music speaks to the soul. Music is a sound that vibrates human body to lift up human conscientiousness for the body to respond to the sounds of the music with greater effects on human emotions. As musicians sing they speak to human conscientiousness that the mind can be fed with words in the music. Musicians can reach the wider society with their potentialities to send messages to promote human survival to enhance all human endeavours. The world is changing and musicians must adopt a system to meet the challenges for their musics to be heard in a different dimension across the globe. Therefore, the Office of VFCP will like to encourage all musicians to use their unique skills to raise awareness of other global matters and not just only love and merry of bodily pleasures and dancing. Sing to the world.
