22nd of March: International Water Day and my music video and cover Tears for Fears "Rivers of Mercy"

The world is in turmoil as we observe it with a half- broken hearts... will we ever learn? Dare we imagine a deeper understanding? Rivers of Mercy is a song about grief, and also about loss and redemption, about the need of healing. Love is always the answer, fall backwards in to its healing waters and be embraced by its tranquility. May this song be of comfort in these difficult times. There's so much going in the world right now that's impossible not to feel disoriented and lost and threatened, there's so much horror we witness, there's so much injustice and unrest. This song belongs to Tears for Fears album "The tipping Point" (2022) and help me navigate through grief, hope and acceptance. Drop me in rivers of mercy, please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpFq2Cd-984 ## LYRICS IN THIS EXCERPT: Rivers of Mercy is a song written by Tears for Fears for their 2022 album "The Tipping Point" and sung by Roland Orzábal. In my video I only sing some of its verses which are: *If by magic, you mean the ocean If by tragic, you mean the end We weren't wrong, we were just hungry For manna from Heaven So come and drown me in the infinite sea Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah Dare I imagine some faith and understanding? Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah Bring out the dead tonight And bathe them in your sacred light to Wash away the pain Save me from the shadows, yeah Cry like a siren, the light on my horizon Drop me in rivers of mercy, yeah* .gif) And though I make my own original music, this is a tribute cover, so please always check the originals, The Tipping Point by Tears for Fears is an amazing album ps. This was made as a request from one of my patrons at https://patreon.com/yidneth who had been so supportive and kind to me. She told me several times she'd love me to sing this one, and as I love it too I decided to surprise her. It's a song that really triggers an emotional reaction in me.  It's piercing and a bit aching and seems to capture the trouble and murkiness the world is going through today, but also of our own personal fights, just longing to be embraced by clear water almost like a baptism of decency and clarity. I want to turn of the TV and news, pay heed to my own body and its need to heal. Fall backwards into the clear waters. I wish for clarity and peace. .gif) ## My Tears for Fears tributes Tears for Fears is my favourite band. It was on my mixtape when I grew up and ever since. Right after the pandemic and they released a new album after a long time and I have listened to it so much. Though I compose my own original music sometimes I find so much healing in other's :) and they're my go-to. Here is my mini-playlist with some of the Tears for Fears tributes I've recorded so far, including Mad World, The Tipping Point, and more. Rivers of Mercy stands as teh seventh one :) of this ongoing little section on my channel. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfu7TASV8SHXHnpljLW4ctkuZ2BGNlxFr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VT2WC7GYR4&list=PLfu7TASV8SHXHnpljLW4ctkuZ2BGNlxFr&index=1 ## 22nd of March is WORLD WATER DAY .gif) World Water Day is celebrated annually on March 22nd. It originated from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, being then ratified by the United Nations and first celebrated in 1993. Since then every year we commemorate the importance of water and most importantly fresh water and water supply, advocating for sustainable management, access to drinking water, pollution, climate change and more. On this special date let us reflect on the profound significance of this life-sustaining element. And as this video and song shows in the gentle flow of a babbling brook lies the essence of clarity and purity, a testament to the pristine beauty of nature's gift. WATER IS LIFE May it flow clear...  And by the way yesterday, 20th of march was Spring Equinox and 21th of March was World Forest Day, so this video is also my farewell to winter as all new leaves unfold. Waking from dormancy and into clearer days ## As always find the 3 ratties in the video As you already know I always hide my "fufunchis" in the video. This is an ongoing "Easter Eggs" game (by the way Spring Equinox is Ostara, that's where it comes from) In this video they're quite difficult to spot but I assure you they're all three hidden there in some stills of the video :) (pro level this one)
