Need great songs about listening!
May 18, 2013 3:49 PM Subscribe
A friend is organising an event about protecting children from child abuse.
Most cases where a child dies from abuse or is significantly harmed show a lack of professionals actually listening to the child - this event is to encourage agencies working with these children to listen more and listen better.
She needs music (for background, as people are arriving and in between speakers) with a message of listening and hearing. There's lots of promising song titles out there but most are obviously about lost loves.
Can anybody recommend some great songs which may fit the bill? Bonus points for songs likely to be familiar in the UK!
What's the Matter Here by 10,000 Maniacs might be pretty relevant.

There are a thousand reasons why the sound might be wrong, but the lyrics of Mother Mother seem pretty relevant.

Don't be like the folks at the large child abuse prevention convention I attended who has a group of small children perform Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror. To a very quiet and uncomfortable crowd.
