7-Day Wayback Music Challenge: Day 1 – Heal The World; Michael Jackson
This is my day one of the #musicwaybackchallenge, and I was nominated by @ruth-girl. Really I can’t tell her “no”, so I’ll give it try. At first I thought the challenge was only for Greeks. Anyway, I’ve already followed the @greek-trail (this was part of the original rules. And maybe I could use the tag too, lol). I’m a Nigerian by the way, but I’m a friend of the house.
I’m not a music person, and I’ve got a very weird musical taste, but yeh!! I remember I used to like Michael Jackson’s song ways back. Okay, let’s look at em.
This song is full of messages of hope of a better tomorrow for the deprived and depraved souls of this world. And to know that the future of the earth lies in our hands; the onus is laid on us to make it a better abode for us and the future generations. This got me thinking: “If we leave the earth the same way we met it; or at a worse state; have we truly lived or merely existed?” I believe everyone should answer this question sincerely.
Pheww!! The challenge wasn’t that hard anyway.
Note: Day 2 would come after 2 days; that would give me time to think of another song (permission to break the fourth rule. Well; “know the rules, attempt to break some of them, lol”)
Rules:
- Choose one song from your high-school/college years.
- Write a few words about who made you listen to this song for the first time, what this song means to you (was it a breakup song? you blasted it at 100% on your audio system when you were partying with your friends?) whatever you want.
- Write your text while listening to the song. As soon as the song ends, wrap up what you where writing and submit it.
- Do this for 7 days in a row if you get nominated
- Mention one person who should do this on each day.
- Tag it with #musicwaybackchallenge and include these rules at the bottom of your post
- Follow @greek-trail for great content made by our fellow Greeks!
In the spirit of continuity, I have to nominate someone. As my way of opening this challenge, I’ll nominate @onceuponatime. I wouldn’t know if he has been nominated before, and I also don’t know how to tell him that I nominated him, but I secretly admire him, and my nomination goes to him.
Thanks to @dimitrisp for putting up this challenge
Done and dusted for day 1
Oooh! I see you just started! I didn't know this song. It is very sweet @samminator.
Thank you for taking the challenge!
PS. I haven't forgotten about yours. I plan to make my post this weekend ;)
Lol. Yeah. The challenge wasn't that hard after all. All thanks to you @ruth-girl. It's an honour to be nominated.
The song brought back old memories. You won't believe how many times I've listened to it again.
P.S: I'm still expecting mine :)
