Day 19: A song you'd play for your haters 

New Song by Howard Jones 

This was an odd one for me. I'm not actually aware of any haters. Therefore no idea whom to address a song to. But I thought about it and figured that, if anyone were going to hate me, most likely it would be because they don't understand me. (I can't see anyone understanding me and then hating me, somehow.) So I thought of a song that might help to promote understanding, and I chose this one because of the lines in its chorus:

See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I dunno, maybe if I had haters, they might need to hear that?

I remember a family back at my church who were thrown into turmoil by this song. Their teenage son became a huge Howard Jones fan, even trying to emulate his hairstyle, and he loved this song and all Howard's hits that followed... and his parents were shocked and dismayed at how he had succumbed to this "devil music"...
