Where I Like It Best - Rickie Lee Jones video free download
Volume up please.This piece was inspired by current (May, 2011) situations in the Middle East, in particular Libya and Syria and the problems of war, terrorism and religious extremists common to numerous countries in that region of the world. In particular worry is the death of innocent civilians. While I had originally intended to show more graphic photos of two protesters killed in Libya and Syria, I decided against doing so. However, in America we are not shown the results of bombs and bullets on our "enemies," much less on our own soldiers or innocent civilians. This sanitizing of the graphic horror of violence allows American's to worry about nothing more than who was voted off of American Idol. This is not "reality." We can't handle the truth. - Apologies to Germany. Your country has banned this piece for the music.

This song has nothing to do with the middle east. It is about Christian America who practices ANYTHING but real Christianity or who follow or even know the true admonition o Christ. Give me an atheist any day....even a cold blooded one. Christian hypocrisy turns my stomach! While the rich eat like the Gods in our major cities the poor struggle and perish. The only thing working in favor of the pseudo-Christians is that Jesus, (and this break my heart) is not coming back.11 years ago

I don't suppose this is the time to remind the USA it funded the IRA for years, as either terrorists or freedom fighters, depending on who's side you're on. Round and round we go.12 years ago

@AkasaWolfSong Rickie is an "acquired taste" and, to be honest many don't care for her voice but, yes, I felt her voice and her lyrics were perfect for what I was hoping to achieve with this piece. Thank you so much for being supportive and for watching. Have a terrific weekend.12 years ago

Makes a very powerful statement and a moving plea for peace....will it ever be?, I ask myself. As John Lennon said "Imagine...." There is only hope, for all of us, and, for all of us to just take one little step, where ever we are, in the right direction. First a trickle, then a wave and then a flood.. Thank you for including me in your list... Namaste.12 years ago

I think your video perfectly captures the pain and empty loneliness of an alienation from God. Rickie Lee Jones sounds completely lost and I would say that those who perpetrate terrorism are lost, as well. Perhaps the prayer I would offer up in this world - "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Rev 21:412 years ago

My Dear friend merhin, THANKS for this powerful reaching right to the soul send. ON my fb wall :-) I have always said this about churches; + the ones against abortion; are the very beings that also want to take away the contraceptives + the schools sharing this knowledge, + help to feed them; even not telling their own children about bringing into the world a child (and they are too young to care for it; NOT thinking NOW MOM will have too..)Richie's voice Fantab for this Creation.5* + NO WAR!!12 years ago
