“I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much high IQ to see what you're doing to me
[Chorus]
You better think (Think)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (Think, think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free
[Refrain]
'Cause freedom (Freedom)
Stands for freedom (Freedom)
Oh, freedom
Yeah, freedom, right now”

“Freedom is a word I rarely use
Without thinkin', mm-hmm
Without thinkin', mm-hmm
Of the time, of the time
When I've been loved”🌼

“You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you”

“Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil”

STRAYA
My country don't share no borders
'Cos of all the waters that surround our land
Thank god for our resources
'Cos they are the sources of our wealthy land
Don't try to find the capital
Or fight the animals
You're on your own
Just drive from town to paradise
And you'll see why we call Australia home

Recently, Men at Work's singer-songwriter Colin Hay was not happy that the song ‘Down Under’ was being used by ‘March for Australia’ events to promote racism and xenophobia in Australia. So he posted this message on social media:
DOWN UNDER
"Let me say that I most strenuously disapprove of any unauthorized, unlicensed use of ‘Down Under’, for any 'March For Australia' events.
Down Under, a song I co-wrote, does not belong to those who attempt to sow xenophobia within the fabric of our great land, our great people. Down Under is ultimately a song of celebration.
It's for pluralism and inclusion; unity, not division.
Go write your own song - leave mine alone."
~ Colin Hay (immigrant)

Deep down in Jamaica close to Mandeville
Back up in the woods on top of a hill
There stood an old hut made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode
Never learned to read and a write so well
But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell

“Then [he]… threw the sword as far into the water as he might; and there came an arm and an hand above the water and met it, and caught it, and so shook it thrice and brandished, and then vanished away the hand with the sword in the water.”

On 13 FEB 2008, the Australian Parliament issued a formal apology to Indigenous Australians for forced removals of Australian Indigenous children (Stolen Generations) from their families by Australian federal & state government agencies.
“To the stolen generations, I say the following: as PM of Australia, I am sorry...
I offer you this apology without qualification.
We apologise for the hurt, pain & suffering that we, the parliament, have caused you…
We apologise for the indignity, the degradation & the humiliation these laws embodied.”
~ Delivered by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd

‘Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer..
It's the rhythm of the island
And like sugarcane, so sweet
If you want to do the conga
You got to listen to the beat.’
~ Enrique E. Garcia 🪘

Feel me now.
I am fertility and creativity.
I am the abundance of the harvest.
I am the abundance of life.
I create and nurture all being.
Feel my presence.
