It has been awhile since my last Music Monday. But I think it's never too late to start joining it again. For this Music Monday, I am thinking of something fresh and new. Nothing spell fresher than Barack Obama's swear in ceremony as the 44th President of United State of America. A good luck wish is never too late. I hope he indeed will change the world. It was an inspiring song from Will.i.am and the beats keep playing in mind. Loved the video too!
In unrelated topic, Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends! May you have a prosperous year ahead!
"This was inspired by America. It's about Obama winning, and really paying tribute to those people who are responsible for that happening, and that's the American people," the Black Eyed Peas leader said Tuesday night. "The whole thing is really for people to leave testimonials ... to create a page and leave testimonials on how they feel about this American accomplishment." - Huffingtonpost

I went asleep last night
Tired from the fight
I've been fighting for tomorrow
All my life
Yea I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Has finally came true
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's been a long time coming
Up the mountain kept runnin'
Souls of freedom kept hummin'
Channeling Harriet Tubman
Kennedy, Lincoln, and King
We gotta maninvest in that dream
It feels like we're swimming upstream
It feels like we're stuck inbetween
A rock and a hard place,
We've been through the heartaches
And lived through the darkest days
If you and I made it this far,
Well then hey, we can make it all the way
And they said no we can't
And we said yes we can
Remember it's you and me together
I woke up this morning
Feeling alright
I've been fightin' for tomorrow
All my life
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Has finally came true
It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
(it's a new day)
It's a new day
It's a new day!
It's been a long time waitin'
Waiting for this moment
It's been a long time praying
Praying for this moment
We hope for this moment
And now that we own it
For life I ma hold it
And I won’t let it go
It's for fathers, our brothers,
Our friends who fought for freedom
Our sisters, our mothers,
Who died for us to be in this moment
Stop and cherish this moment
Stop and cherish this time
It's time for unity
For us and we
That's you and me together
I woke up this morning
Feeling brand new
'Cause the dreams that I've been dreaming
Have finally came true
Yea, I woke up this morning
Feeling alright
'Cause we weren't fighting for nothing
And the soldiers weren't fighting
For nothing
No, Martin wasn't dreaming for nothing
And Lincoln didn't change it for nothing
And children weren't crying for nothing
It's a new day
It's a new day
A new day
It's a new day
It's a new day!

i do hope obama will stop the war and create a new era where peace is the priority.
Great choice. I watched the inauguration because I really think it's a turning point. I hope things do change for the better. And happy Chinese New Year to you!
Hi Faisal,
Wow.. You are fast! Hehe.. Do you mind if I add your picture and link for the First Commenter tomorrow? It's 3.54am now. I am afraid I will cut your picture wrongly. Hehe :P
So tired. Lots of people came to my house today.. My parents don't even do any Chinese New Year open house this year. Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year for those who celebrate it!
Hi Penny,
Haha. I watched the inauguration for few times already. I think I am more excited than my American friends. LOL..
Salam there, Haaziq.
I hope that with the new President, there is indeed a change, for something better. I hope that more stability in everything and less war, less crime. We can't have total peace, but suffice if those big wars are put to stop forever. The rest will put into its place, sooner or later.
Whatever it is, I am still awake. Doing my work while listening to the ever soothing reciting of Yaseen...and occasionally look up to the internet as I reckon that you must have something coming up real soon..[saw u online tho :)]
Have a great Monday, dear. Have an auspicious day ya'hear.
Love this song! Happy Happy Happy Song!
BTW - Love the photo you have of President Obama.
With this new day, we ALL must continue our support and do our part. It is because we all share the same Vision that got him in office. Let's all keep the focus. Tough crowd he is facing but he so far seems to be keeping to his word. :)
a New Day :)

Assalamu'alaika Haaziq,
It's great when artistes use their music to get a message across and to make teenagers be aware of current issues. Unlike most artistes we have nowadays. Huuu~
I respect the Black Eyed Peas because they use their influence to create awareness through their music.
=)
Owh, and by the way, Gong Xi Fa Cai to you and your readers! =D
Uwah Faisal FC this time, congrats!
