Charity Song of the Month:

ARIANA GRANDE, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Live From Manchester)," 2017

One of the most moving moments to come out of the star-studded One Love Manchester concert on June 4 was Ariana Grande’s rendition of The Wizard of Oz anthem “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” The song’s hopeful message about trying to find a safe place fit perfectly for an event that was a direct response to the terror attack which took place at a Grande concert in Manchester, UK on May 22, leaving 22 dead and 116 injured. Proceeds from the live single will go towards the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund (administered by the British Red Cross) to support victims of the terror attack. —Aaron Brophy

Cause Song of the Month:

THE TEA PARTY, "Release," 1997

Canadian rock trio The Tea Party, currently on tour to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of their album Transmission, still talk about the inspiration behind one of the songs, “Release.” Frontman Jeff Martin wrote the lyric as an apology to women after watching a BBC story about women’s rights around the world. When it was released as a single, proceeds went to the White Ribbon campaign, a movement organized by men to end violence against women. “I want the world to wake/I want to give you peace/I want to vindicate/You need to be released,” the songs begins.
