Empowerment with Self Awareness
& Follow-Through
Written by Melanie Silos
Outside the Los Angeles Wiltern Theater after a beautiful performance from Keane, I met an independent artist of Afterward,an 80's influenced post-grunge/punk band from Ventura, California, guitarist Cameron Smith who reminds US, "Never forget who YOU are." This is the matter of being self-aware and upholding the essence of one's greatest nature as it is the core of strength in ones existence and prosperity. It means to stand true to your values and act upon them. It’s the creation of empowerment with self-awareness and follow-through.
In every sense of what it means to remember who you are, it begins with self-awareness and definition. What is your greatest nature, the better nature of humankind? What is the core of strength in your existence? Keane, the emotive British group from Battle, Sussex UK, expressed their self-definition with their song "Hamburg" sharing the value of self-awareness and effort to shine a light of love, the core and essence of their nature.
It's an important matter for USA to be self-aware and never forget who WE are: one nation under God, indivisible... a govt. by the people for the people, under the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, free speech, democracy and all, and with the United Nations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The country where EVERY rock n' roller from any country can enjoy a good tour and an appreciating audience.
