24 Dec 2010 - Re-listen: 'River of Sorrow' by Antony and the Johnsons
On occasion of 24th Dec, the day of Christmas Eve (the day before Christmas Day), Fashionoffice re-listens the song 'River of Sorrow' by Antony and the Johnsons. Christmas centers around the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus was in his times a reformer who brought 'light' into a society which suffered from inhumanity and injustice. The success of Jesus is made of his social ideas about living together by living for each other. A premise for this is that we have to respect the other like he or she is. Fashionoffice wishes all users Merry Christmas!
