"You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" is a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific. South Pacific received scrutiny for its commentary regarding relationships between different races and ethnic groups. In particular, "You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught" was subject to widespread criticism, judged by some to be too controversial or downright inappropriate for the musical stage. Sung by the character Lieutenant Cable, the song is preceded by a line saying racism is "not born in you! It happens after you’re born..." This version is from James Taylor's latest album American Standards. https://youtu.be/HlwvpuDYM2Y

Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall, written by Paul Simon and released in 1965. Life does not last forever, and will eventually be worn down and wilt, just like flowers in the rainfall. Cherish life, and provide nourishment, while consistently weeding around diligently, and keeping the relationship between family and friends strong and alive!!! Peace and Love!!! Through the corridors of sleep Past shadows dark and deep My mind dances and leaps in confusion I don't know what is real I can't touch what I feel And I hide behind the shield of my illusion So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end And flowers never bend With the rainfall The mirror on my wall Casts an image dark and small But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection I am blinded by the light Of God and truth and right And I wander in the night without direction No matter if you're born To play the King or pawn For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow So my fantasy Becomes reality And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you!!!
