"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

- Taylor Swift

Young Artists for Haiti

Listening to: Wavin' Flag Haiti Remix by the Young Artists for Haiti

So, this is something I've been listening to pretty much non stop for a little while. This is a collaboration of Canadian musicians to support the Haiti relief movement after the devastating Haiti earthquake. It is based on the original K'naan song, Wavin' Flag, which also has dozens of international remixes and also the very famous Coca Cola/Fifa World Cup remix. This version was released after 'We Are The World', a more famous collaboration for Haiti, but somehow, I like this one better.

As the song says, even though the media's stopped covering and there's a little help from the government, it's still not all love in Haiti. Please give generously.



Soloists include: K'naan, Nelly Furtado, Avril Lavigne, Nikki Yanofsky and Justin Bieber.
