Victoria Monet – Better Days (feat. Ariana Grande)

betterdays

The senseless violence against unarmed black men has been seen for months and years, but the incidents concerning Alton Sterling and Philando Castile have sparked protests across the United States as plenty of people have come forward to stand against it. It even spawned another tragedy in Dallas, where policemen were shot at and killed during peaceful protests.

Last night, things reached a high level in Baton Rouge, LA as riot police arrested protesters claiming they did it because they blocked a highway entrance ramp.

Victoria Monet and Ariana Grande have come together during these trying times to speak on their feelings regarding what’s going on across the country and hoping for “Better Days.”

I’m heartbroken by all of the recent tragedies the came as a result of hatred, racism and injustice. Im also sad at how numb some of us are to it, because it is far too common! This is not a video game or a movie you’re witnessing on your screens!This is our unfortunate REALITY! When I think about how I feel, the word confused comes to mind…So today we just want to try and help in one of the ways we know how!

“Music is a universal language that all of us can feel regardless of color lines, gender, sexuality, age, race, religion…. it unifies us. We believe we can not fight hate with hate, only love. Just as we can not fight darkness with more darkness. Only Light.”

#BlackLivesMatter
To all of the lives taken pointlessly, we will not let you be forgotten. You have sparked change in this world with your angel wings. Rest In Peace.

Yes, this an update of the song that was released during the Orlando shootings.
