The African super group ONE8 which comprises of various African musicians assembled in a studio in Chicago have released their first music video for “Hands Across the World” .
The group is made up of 4×4 (Ghana), R.Kelly (U.S.A), 2Face (Nigeria), Amani (Kenya), Alikiba (Tanzania), Fally Ipupa (Dr Congo), JK (Zambia), Movaizhaleine(Gabon) and Navio (Uganda) . “Hands Across the World” is written and produced by R. Kelly.
It was Gloria Gaynor who first sang the song “I will Survive” about ended relationships, heart break and how the lady got over it and moved on. This article will also deal with surviving a negative experience in a relationship and the issue of moving on. This is a topic close to my heart because I have witnessed a lot of people who have found it difficult to come into a new life after such an experience. In my book, A Heart to Mend, I wrote about characters who overcame their pasts of adversity to blossom again in love.
I am your quintessential romantic but I do know that love and relationships sometimes are not forever. Some of us have suffered heartbreak. It can hurt as hell; we think our hearts are literally broken and seeping blood into our chest. We feel small, wounded, beaten and left to die. But the truth is that we get over it. It may take some time, it may take some strong words, it may take physical or mental breakdown but in the end, we will overcome. The lady in the song, we will look our heartbreakers in the face and tell them to go eat s**t. We will rave, we will cry, we will weep and mourn the dead relationship. But if we tap into the strength inside each of us, we will recognize when it is time to move on.
