Charity Song of the Month:

VAPOR Feat. Marc Martel "No More Hurting People" 2013

Marc Martel, the former singer for Canadian rock band Downhere who landed on Ellen after his Queen Extravaganza audition tape went viral (he got the gig, btw) co-wrote “No More Hurting People” with Mark Heimermann in honour of the victims and survivors of the Boston bombings April 15. The title, of course, are those beautiful words 8-year-old Martin Richard — who was killed in the attack — had written on a poster-board sign last year after the murder of Trayvon Martin. The song, released under the name Vapor Feat. Marc Martel, is free to download with a “pay what you can” option to donate towards the One Fund Boston set up for those most affected by the bombings. “This anthem's purpose is to counter the effects of evil and hatred,” it reads on the website.

Cause Song of the Month:

STEVIE NICKS "Soldier's Angel" 2011

Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks has visited many injured military personnel over the years at Walter Reed Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital. She wrote a poem after her second visit to Walter Reed and gave it out to the soldiers and their families. “I always told them one day it would be a song,” Nicks said. In 2009, an accident in Iraq that killed seven English soldiers “caused a four-page journal entry, where I pulled the chorus,” she explained. Nicks then asked Fleetwood Mac co-founder Lindsay Buckingham to play guitar and sing backup on the heartfelt song she titled “Soldier’s Angel” for her 2011 solo album, In Your Dreams. “I am a soldier in their army/They are the soldiers of my heart/I try to make them smile again/Thought it tears me apart/Their bravery leaves me spellbound/I try to be a small part /Of bringing them back again,” she sings.

Product of the Month

Start a baby’s life off in style and another with basic necessities. The purchase of this gorgeous limited-edition Armani baby blanket, made exclusively for Canadian luxury retailer Holt Renfrew, benefits Free The Children. Just $50, funds generated from the blanket will support international developing communities in Kenya, providing the necessary healthcare, clean water and support needed for Maasai mamas and their babies through the first year of the child’s life. The blanket is available in four designs — green multi-colour, pink, red multi-colour and navy blue — inspired by the traditional kanga wrap worn by Maasai mamas. Holt Renfrew’s goal is to raise $100,000 for Free The Children. The Armani baby blanket is available at all Holt Renfrew stores or online, while quantities last. Think of it as a two baby benefit blanket.— K.B.

As Told To Samaritanmag:

“The Who are doing a concert right at the end of this tour [July 8 at Wembley Arena in aid of Double O] for Refuge, which is a series of refuges. There are about 70 in the UK, which are suffering from cutbacks for women, for families, who’ve been caught up in domestic violence...I grew up with a family that was colourful and fun and crazy, but the kind of craziness that I saw in the families of the kids that I grew up with was of a completely different order — underprivileged children with not enough to eat, with violent fathers, with ineffective mothers, with no state support, despite the fact that we have social security. So that’s where I focus my energies." — The Who's Pete Townshend tells Samaritanmag in April, 2013.
