It's Alright!...

...even if the world is falling apart!

Funny that when I was traveling by bus in south India I had my iPod (and felt guilty because it was a common bus and people were looking at my iPod as something unaffordable, but could not help listening to some music) and on my shuffling I got Pet Shop Boys' "It's Alright", and it fitted so much the situation. Even if they were so poor and fighting to have something to eat, all that peace in their eyes, no matter how bad the world might be, it's still alright! And it will always be, hopefully. Problems come and go, and it will just be like that forever.



Just look at the first phrases of the lyrics, the problems are still there, just different now! I just hope it's gonna be alright! 'Caus the music plays forever!

Dictation being forced in Afghanistan
Revolution in South Africa taking a stand
People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression
I hope it's going to be alright
I hope the music plays forever

Forests falling at a desperate pace
The earth is dying, and desert taking its place
People under pressure on the brink of starvation

I hope it's gonna be alright
(Alright Alright Alright)
'Cause the music plays forever
('Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on and on, forever)
And the music plays forever
(Alright Alright)

Generations will come and go (will come and go)
But there's one thing for sure
Music is our life's foundation
And shall succeed all the nations to come

(Alright Alright Alright)
'Cause the music plays forever
('Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on and on and on)
(On and on and on and on)
And the music plays forever

The year three thousand may still come to pass
But the music shall last
I can hear it on a timeless wavelength
Never dissipating but giving us strength
