Afritunes Music Week 152—360⁰ by ASA

A huge hello to all my fellow African musicians in this beautiful #Afritunes community. It is my absolute pleasure to bring you another awesome tune on week 152 of the Afritunes music contest. For this week, I and going to be performing an oldie but goodie song titled 360⁰ by none other than the Legendary ASA.

My decision to do this song was actually inspired by a post made by Hive account@obaro where Hive account@obaro , Hive account@starstrings01 , and Hive account@iyedrumz007 performed the song to a group of students at the #vibes talent hunt that they are organizing. I had been struggling with indecision regarding which song to perform, but the moment I opened that post and started listening, I instantly knew I had to do that for this week. Actually, when I think of it, a lot of my Afritunes posts have been songs by Asa. I guess I just love ASA so damn much😂.

This song is generally one that preaches peace and unity among the peoples and nations of the world that transcends the color of one's skin or any other divisive metric used to class people together. Asa says in the song that “we all need one another,” and nothing could really be further from the truth.

So here is a wake up call for us all. Regardless, of ethnicity, religion, nation, race, upper or lower class, or any other such metric, we all need one another and we should all start acting that way.

“Man is born for deeds of kindness.”
—Marcus Aurelius.

Here is a YouTube link to the original song.

Here are the lyrics.
We don't have to go the 360°
Now, it's time to go the 180
You don't have to climb
The highest mountain
For all you're looking for
Is within you
Open the eyes of your mind
Your ears and mouth
As I sing my song
Open the eyes of your mind
Your ears and mouth
As you hear my words, oh...
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
I'll be waiting, I'll be, oh
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
I'll be waiting, I'll be...
We still live in yesterday
Many today are wasted away
But nevertheless is never late
Oh, see, the times have changed
I thought you knew
That this world
Will never ever wait for you
The world has gone past times of fighting
So, drop your guns and your swords
And let us live all as one
We all need love and understanding
So, drop your guns and your swords
And let us live all as one, oh...
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
I'll be waiting, oh, I'll be, oh
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le (Oh-oh-oh)
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le (Oh-oh-oh)
I'll be waiting (Oh-oh-oh)
Every nation, across the ocean
Is more than just a color
We all need one another, oh
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le
I'll be waiting, (I'll be waiting for you)
I'll be (For you you you and you)
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le (Oh-oh-oh)
Pa-la-la, pa-pa, la-le (Oh-oh-oh)
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting for, for you)
Every people, wherever you'll be
Is more than just a color
We all need one another oh, oh
