Tears for Fears released Woman in Chains in 1989. Decades later, women are still fighting for the basic right to control their own bodies — while politicians try to put them back in chains. Some songs never stop being relevant. #BodilyAutonomy #WomensRights

The Who’s song ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ reminds us that true change starts with ourselves. Blindly trusting leaders won’t fix broken system, we need to stay critical, informed, and engaged. Don’t wait for a savior. Be the change.

Watching people realize the Bee Gees’ Too Much Heaven is from the 70s is priceless. Those harmonies? Absolutely unreal. Decades later, and they still hit like nothing else. Pure musical perfection! #BeeGees #Timeless

With over 43 million views, ‘Hi Ren’ by Ren is a raw, haunting conversation that stays with you. I first heard it a year ago, and it still resonates today. It’s more than a song and It might just hit you in a way you didn’t expect.

His voice and the emotion he puts into it are unreal. The video is so simple, but it makes it even more powerful.

Fiona Hill’s book ‘There Is Nothing for You Here’ is an inspiring read. Born in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, to a coal-mining family, she rose from poverty to become a top U.S. foreign policy expert. A powerful story of resilience, education, and opportunity.

#FionaHill #Memoir #Inspiration
This photo shows Fiona Hill sitting at a table during a formal hearing or public testimony. She is wearing a dark blazer over a white top and a gold chain necklace. Her expression is serious and composed as she faces forward. Behind her, several people are visible, including some using cameras, giving the setting a formal and high-profile atmosphere. A nameplate in front of her reads “Dr. Hill.”

We all have two lives, the first is lived without truly seeing, the second one starting the moment you realise you’ve wasted the first.

Jimi Hendrix taught himself guitar and became a legend, greatness often comes from unexpected places.

In disheartening times, real change starts with those who dare to be different.

Your voice matters. #DareToBeDifferent #YourVoiceMatters
The image features Jimi Hendrix, the legendary guitarist, in a formal yet artistic pose. He is wearing a dark, military-style jacket with ornate details, including decorative braids on the cuffs and a pin on the chest. His expression is serious and introspective, and he holds a cigarette delicately in his hand. The overall color tone is cool and blue, giving the image a moody, timeless feel.

John Lennon cut through the noise with these words:

“No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky is gonna Mother Hubbard soft-soap me with just a pocketful of hope.”

A reminder to see through empty promises and stand up for truth.

Throwback to 2012: This incredible jazz trio brought Central Park to life with their soulful tunes. Autumn leaves, cool air, and pure NYC magic.
🎶🍂🎸🥁🎻 #CentralPark #StreetMusic #NYCJazz #Throwback #AutumnVibes #NYC2012
The photograph shows three street musicians performing outdoors in Central Park, New York City, during autumn. The trio is seated on a park bench surrounded by fallen leaves. On the left, a drummer plays a compact drum kit, dressed in a casual jacket and a gray hat. In the center, a guitarist, bundled in a dark coat and gloves, sits with an electric guitar, appearing focused on his music. On the right, a double bass player, also dressed warmly, stands and plays his large wooden instrument. Instrument cases, including a bright red guitar case, are scattered on the ground in front of them. The background features tall trees, bare rock formations, and a lamppost, emphasizing the serene autumn setting of Central Park. The atmosphere conveys a relaxed and artistic vibe, typical of New York City’s vibrant street performances.

Could Stephen have a point here?

‘The rise of the right is the left’s fault.’ – Stephen Fry

What do you think? Is there truth in this, or is it an oversimplification?

The photo shows John Lennon, a renowned musician, sitting and playing a guitar. He is wearing round glasses, a signature part of his style, and has long hair and a beard. His outfit appears to be a light, lacy shirt paired with white trousers, giving a relaxed yet artistic vibe. The background is simple and indoor, possibly a studio or recording space. The overall atmosphere feels calm and reflective, capturing Lennon in a moment of musical focus.

Tranquil dusk at Keswick, Cumbria. Misty hills, still waters, and a peaceful lakeside scene that feels like pure serenity. Nature’s perfect reflection. 🌄 #LakeDistrict #Keswick #NaturePhotography
This image depicts a tranquil lakeside scene at dusk in Keswick, Cumbria. The still waters of the lake mirror the silhouetted remnants of wooden posts and the bare trees on the shore. In the distance, soft layers of mist drape over rolling hills, while the sky transitions from deep blue to soft hues, streaked with wisps of clouds and a faint contrail. The serene atmosphere evokes a sense of peace and reflection.
