"Songs for a Cause."

Music moves mountains. Everything we've ever experienced, lived, or have ever known can be found in music. From vinyl records, to eight tracks (yes I said eight tracks), to cassettes, to CDs.. and now to digital downloads, .. we've come so far. Now music can travel across any continent in an instant. The scope is grand.  It's a universal language we all understand and relate to.  

We're all familiar with "benefit shows," and we all tend to support them. Especially for causes to help those we love, and those in need. The support for this song, "Is This The End," has been GREAT! Like a benefit show, this song has a purpose. The purpose to bring awareness to a debilitating and mostly misunderstood disease.. (Lupus). "Songs for a Cause" can connect and bring many good folks together for a single purpose. Most importantly, committing a song to a purpose can energize other musicians/songwriters to do the same. It's not a new idea, but one worth repeating. 

Show up for a cause and let your voice be heard. That's all I ask. As I sit here typing my personal thoughts, I reflect on the history of music.. and its place in our daily lives. Our emotions - happiness, sadness, hope, loneliness, excitement, anger.. the list goes on and on. These are human emotions we all have experienced. All these emotions can be found somewhere in a song. 

So "Sing This Song Faith Hill!" .. It's a HIT for sure. This is not just another song, but a "Song for a Cause." for Lupus.
