Its a song about where have we come since Jesus Been Gone, Since Marvin Gaye wrote a song called
Whats Going On - my song takes the perspective of What would Marvin say? What would Jesus say?
You Found Me (HipHop Trance) by Matell
It was a number one Gospel song in early 2007, and I didn't write it has a gospel song,
but its about saving the children of this WORLD from dying, stop mothers from abandoning them, stop abused, stop sexual abuse.
In the words it say "You found me at my worst, and I thought my life was curse, but now I'm found..."
Eastern Trees (The Extended Moav Mix) by
Matell
Don't let the lyrics fool you, its not about hating white people, this song is a follow-up to a classic song from Billie Holiday "Strange
Fruit"
Matell'sversion takes on the
views of what is happening in Iraq with our troops and why are they dying in this
war. Eastern Trees is not about protesting the war, its simply saying our men and
women
are dying and certain Iraqi persons are killing our white men & women (and not just the whites). This must stop now.
Eastern Trees is written in the style of "Strange Fruit" but in Billie Holiday's the theme was about blacks being lynched in the South.
Is Iraq not the same? In following up Matell had this question, What
would Lady Day say if she was alive today?
Love Brokeback Mountain (Mountain Mix) by
Matell
This song does not support the gay rights to marry if that what you think, its wrong.
This song is purely about LOVE, loving someone that doesn't love you back and that's why its call a Love Brokeback as
the words say in the song. Yes this song was inspired by the movie Brokeback Mountain, and its stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. Can't we take and learn from other cultures? And grow from that?

BELOW PLEASE READ THE WORDS TO MY SONG TITLED
"EASTERN TREES" AND THEN A ALTERNATIVE VERSION
TO THE RIGHT
Please, enjoy the words to my song
entitled "Eastern Trees" also bare in mind that we are morning our troops that have died across this world fighting for our
freedom... Freedom is something that we are born with but seems to be taken away as we get older.
I wrote these words based on the
Billie Holiday song entitled "Strange Fruit"... We can't forget the black people who died long ago, nor shall we forget the
white people who are dying now in Iraq...
I want to make a change, take a
stand, challenge someone, love someone, forgive someone, teach someone, help someone, bring this world into a oneness...
Love heals, Love is all that I have
too give...
This Lady has the heart to sing this song...

Version One:
"EASTERN TREES (BARES AH STRANGE FRUIT)"
LEAVE OF FLESH, FOR THE BLOOD TO DROP TO THE ROOT
WHITE BODIES SWINGING FROM EASTERN TREES
FOR HISTORY TO FREEZE
THE BURNING FLESH, AND THE SOUNDS OF RIPPING FLESH
TORN FROM ITS BODY PART, THEY CALL IT ART
HAUNTING CHANTS OF AH-LA
FOR THE BLACK CROWS TO HOLLER
IN THE SUMMER BREEZE, FOR HISTORY TO STOP AND FREEZE

"MIDDLE EASTERN TREE"
EASTERN TREES BARES AH FALSE FRUIT
BLOOD RUNS THROUGH ITS ROOT
WHITE BODIES SWINGING FROM EASTERN TREES
JUST FOR THE FLEAS, TO FLOP
AND THE SUDDEN SOUND OF RIPPING FLESH,
FOR THE BIRDS, TO EAT IT FRESH
AND FROM WORD OF MOUTH, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE GALLANT SOUTH
AND THE SWEET SMELL OF MEAT
OF MANGLED BODIES DROPPING FROM THE SKIES,
LIKE DEAD FLIES
FOR THE BIRDS TOO PLUCK , AND THE FLIES TOO SUCK
EASTERN TREES BARES AH FALSE FRUIT, BLOOD RUNNING DOWN ITS SHUTE
WHITE BODIES SWINGING FROM EASTERN TREES,
JUST FOR THE FLEAS, TO CROP...

Story:
A videotape appeared on an Islamic Web site Wednesday purportedly showing the beheading of
American hostage Jack Hensley by al-Qaida-linked kidnappers.
The appearance of the video came hours after Hensley's headless body was located and handed
over to U.S. officials in Iraq.
In the video, a blindfolded man in an orange jumpsuit sat in front of five masked militants
dressed in black. One read a statement as they stood in front of a banner of Tawhid and Jihad, a group led by Jordanian terror
mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi that is fighting U.S. troops in Iraq.
After reading a statement, one of the militant pulled a knife and attacked the man from behind.
Then the head was placed on the body.
The tape was posted on a Web site known as a clearing house for Islamic militants. The identify
of the man who was killed in the tape could not be independently verified.
The group earlier said it had beheaded fellow U.S. hostage Eugene Armstrong. A videotape purportedly
of Armstrong being killed surfaced on a Web site Monday. Armstrong's decapitated body was found in Baghdad the same day.
Hensley, Armstrong and an Englishman, Kenneth Bigley, were kidnapped last Thursday from a house
that the three civil engineers, working for the construction firm Gulf Services Co., shared in an upscale Baghdad neighborhood.
A separate video broadcast Wednesday shown a man identifying himself as Bigley pleading for
his life. In the latest video, the speaker said President Bush will pay a heavy price. 'We
have demanded the release of our sisters in return for the two hostages, the Americans, and the British. But Bush's intransigence
and his disregard of the souls of his people and his refusal to save their lives will cost him a very high price which he
will not forget in his lifetime.'
