MY SECOND ANDREW(S)

I think I've never shared with you songs by this singer before, although I really kinda like her.

She is perhaps one of the most underrated country singer I've known because some of her songs are actually very good, but I don't know why she is not given the credits and publicity she deserves.

She's one sweet country babe who tries her best to maintain a more innocent image, but in some ways, she later surrendered to the needs of the industry.

There was one album in which she adopted a sexier image, but still it didn't work for her. Hmm..but she does have talent. Just sad that she is unappreciated.

Jessica Andrews started singing at the age of 13 by the way and her vocals surpasses many in the industry. But like I said, she wasn't given the boost she needed to make a blasting career in the music industry.

I have a few Jessica Andrew favourites but today, I'm recommending this one since Earth Day was like what, 2 days ago?

This song is about seeking forgiveness for what we, humans did to the world; to Earth, to Mother nature and basically, apologizing for all the consequences due to our destructive actions.

Who will win the holy war
Can you tell me what they’re fighting for

And do you look down in disgust

God don’t give up on us

Mother Nature’s ashamed and bruised

All her precious gifts abused

Her forest burns, her rivers rust

God don’t give up on us

Don’t give up on me

Don’t give up on love

Nothing loved is ever lost

God don’t give up on us

We hold our babies in our arms 

And pray you’ll keep them safe from harm

In a world that’s so unjust

God don’t give up on us

Don’t give up on me

Don’t give up on love

Nothing loved is ever lost

God don’t give up 

For every bullet fired, for every soul

That’s lost

Forgive our dark desires and the pain

We’ve caused

Please don‘t close your eyes, to the part of us

That’s beautiful...still beautiful

How can we regain your trust

God don’t give up

God don’t give up on us

This is one song that makes us ponder on what we have done and what we can do to make up for all our past mistakes. 

In many ways, I think we've caused a lot of destruction - war or pollutions - and we should wake up now to what will happen if we don't stop doing the things we do. 

While the people up there are busy fighting political wars, people down there are suffering.

While the people are chopping trees and polluting rivers with chemicals to make money, our Nature is taking the blows.

I guess as humans, we never look ahead but rather regret only when the disastrous consequences hit us right in the face. I'm no angel seriously; I'm not religiously doing my part to save Mother Earth.

But I guess songs like these once again rings the bell and at least in some ways, ring my conscience when it comes to protecting the environment.

And hopefully, it would also knock those powerful people on the head, so that they can make necessary changes to make our world a better place. I think they can start by doing something about warfares.

Oh well, then again when 2012 comes...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one.

The only video of her singing this song.

With Lotsa Love,
