Week 4: Pigs – Exploring the misery of factory farmed pigs

I want to help you. That is the best of me.
The songs you will find here are written with a purpose:
to bring out the best in you.
I will write 52 of them in all. Hopefully one a week. You see I have realised that whatever happiness I can achieve on my own is purely transient. For me to be fulfilled, everyone must be fulfilled.
Writing and playing songs may be the deepest truest thing I have right now. In order to share this joy I want to open it up to you. I want you to suggest subjects for me to write on. I will be writing songs on human rights, animal welfare, the environment or maybe just purely to inspire but I’m sure you can think of all sorts of exciting causes for me to get my teeth into. If you are a musician and wish to collaborate then I’m open to it.
Most importantly I would like you to vote and tell me (on each song’s page there is a little gadget to do this) which of my songs you like the most. Because at the end of my 52 weeks I’m going to pick the most popular 12 and record an album with the musicians I’ve met along the way.
This album is something we will create together to bring out the best in each other. I hope you can be part of it.
peace, love and other new age cliches,
Rob

52 Songs! You’re setting the bar awfully high? I wish you the best (doing well so far).
You should do a version of the free software song (http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.html )!
