#art, #music, I Really Don’t Know the Reason…

«Evil People» is a song that I wrote back in my days in Miami in the late 1990’s. It is a song that creates a fantasy in a world which wasn’t as evil as it is nowadays. Basically it states that I don’t know the reason why we’re evil people now…

I am sure we can all think of many reasons. But it occurs to me that the main one is that as a human collective, in other words, the «Family of Man,» has become selfish, self-centred, spiteful, hateful and reckless. People now think, not with their brains, but with their mobile phones (and soon they won’t even have to think, create or solve problems as AI will take care of that), and act as if the world was the set of one of those horrible video games that so many are addicted to.

It seems to me that young people now drink less but get drunk more. Do less drugs but lose their minds more frequently. Indiscipline, disrespect, carelessness and narcissism are the plagues upon humanity. There is no antidote, no vaccine for that like there was for COVID-19.

Can you think of anything else?

Listen to the song…

Cheers…
