Africa and music always have a gr8 comraderie.. he he... u get to hv the some of the best music and lyrics wen it cumz to Africa...
its kinda liven up to my thoughts i wud say this time around too... sum gr8 music from Shakira, Black eyed peas, Akon... not to 4get the commercials of soft drink giants.. wat an ad Pepsi has put up....
I m still wondering how extremely creative one can get when it cums to being creativity a job profile.. he he.. :D
A football turf of people lining it... countryside ppl trying to outsmart sum heroes of the game... making them score a same side goal... wow.. i hv kinda started to think shud i call myself creative anymore after seein all tat being done for the football pinups and promotions.. ;) (i hv already consoled myself tat i m enuf creative in my own ways.. now tats a different story.. :P )

Now cumin to the title of this blog post... Waving flag.. the theme song for the Football World Cup 2010.... by K'naan...
I m jus spellbound by the song... not jus that bcoz, the first time i heard it made me shake a leg and groove my head a little...

.........it left me wit tears in my eyes.... VIVA AFRICA!!!!!!! (pls do not doubt my Indian citizenship now :D )
Here is the lyrics for those who still did not have a chance to get wats the song is all about:
When I get older
I'll be stronger
They call me freedom
Just like a Waving Flag,
And then it goes back, and then it goes back,And then it goes back.

Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
but Violent prone, poor people zone,
But it's my home, all I have known,
Where I got grown, streets we would roam.

But out of the darkness, I came the farthest,
Among the hardest survival.
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,
Except no defeat, surrender retreat,

So we struggling, fighting to eat
and We wondering when we'll be free,
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day,
It's not far away, so for now we say

So many wars, settling scores,
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor,
I heard them say, love is the way,
Love is the answer, that's what they say,

But look how they treat us, Make us believers,
We fight their battles, then they deceive us,
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us,
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers.

But we struggling, fighting to eat,
And we wondering, when we'll be free
So we patiently wait, for that faithful day,
It's not far away, but for now we say,

And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it

When I get older
I will be stronger,
just like a Waving Flag,Just like a Waving Flag, just like a Waving flag!!!!
