NEIL DIAMOND, "America," 1981

Although immigrants coming to the United States these days are villainized and forced to endure unusual cruelties from authorities, legendary singer-songwriter Neil Diamond once had a more uplifted view of the immigration experience. Diamond's 1981 song "America" from The Jazz Singer soundtrack spoke to the hopes, potential and best outcomes for immigrants who only wanted to come to America to find freedom. "America" was a Top Ten hit when it came out nearly four decades ago. Right now seems like a good time to remind ourselves immigrants "only want to be free" and to "hang on to a dream."

Charity Song of the Month:

DAN REYNOLDS & HANS ZIMMER, "Skipping Stones," 2018

Dan Reynolds, the Mormon-raised lead singer for Imagine Dragons, has been confronting the more hateful, less welcoming aspects of his religious past in the new documentary Believer. One of the topics is the Mormon Church's mean-spirited stance on LGBTQ issues. Reynolds is using new song "Skipping Stones," written with Hans Zimmer (The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight) to push faith-oriented persons to move past lip service and vague platitudes of "love" and to "give true validity and fully embrace and support diverse sexual orientations." Proceeds from the new single will support the LOVELOUD Foundation. Buy it here. — Aaron Brophy
