I have taken the time to listen to all of the posts in this thread,,,,,and I'm in a heap on my knees on the floor. A ha.
Loved the op's third track - can't understand a word but love the hand drawn video.
I think this thread is basically calling for socially aware music - and on that note (pardon the pun) I will leave you with some Michael Franti.&

It took me awhile after I broke off my wedding last summer before I could listen to this song without crying. To me, this has always been one of the
saddest songs ever.
"Baby what have I done
gone and left you, all alone
its hard for me to sing this song
we've been together for so long
I think I know what my soul's got to say
and it wont hurt as bad, someday
Its gonna be alright, baby
its gonna be alright, love
and if the mist ever lets the sun through
i'll just hope I did the right thing
for me and you
Guess I'm ruled by my heart
built a life and I tore it all apart
It's just not our time
but you'll find a new love, and you'll be fine
So many dark and lonely nights
but I believe someday I'll see the light
It's gonna be alright, baby
Its gonna be alright, love
and if the mist ever lets the sun through
I'll just hope I did the right thing
for me and you"
