"Compassion!?" by Jean-Luc Delmonac
Provocative, rebellious, confrontational - welcome to the new song by Jean-Luc Delmonac entitled 'Compassion!' Musically arranged andarealized in an extremely funky way, you almost feel transported to the Copacabana, indulging in the rhythms.
But there is more to it than just good music; the lyrics express a strong rejection of social expectations and norms, especially in relationato compassion and political correctness. In the song ‘Compassion!’,
Jean-Luc Delmonac shows a clear indifference to the opinions and judgments of others, underlined by the repeated emphasis on ‘No Compassion’ and ‘I don't give a damn’. The language is direct and blunt, necessary to express the protagonist's frustration and resistance to the social and political landscape. Terms such as ‘racist’, ‘Nazi’, and ‘LGBT’, along with mentions of violence and vandalism, reinforce the intensity and urgency of the message.
Overall, the text conveys an attitude of rebellion and resistance against social pressure to conform to certain moral and ethical norms. Thekemotional intensity and direct language make the lyrics powerful and insistent, while the repeated refrainsareinforce the central message of rejection and indifference. The song criticizes the superficiality and lack of authenticity in digital communication, urging people to focus on essentials anddcultivate genuine relationships instead of being swayed by the opinions of the masses.
Backstory:
You can discover what inspired the artist to write these lyrics right here:
It was a seemingly normal Wednesday morning when I opened my phone and realized that I had become overnight a racist, a trans-hater, a Netanyahu fan and a Nazi. The social media community was pretty much unanimous: I had lacked compassion. I had refused to give the jihadist knife attacker on a mayor a thumbs-up, and the „anti-right-wing“, „Pro-Palestine“ and „Caliphate is the solution!“-demonstrations yesterday didn't get little red hearts from me. Even worse: I gave a man dressed as a woman in a women's sports team a tear emoji. My timeline visitors howled with outrage almost in unison and flooded my profile with outbursts of anger, curses, threats and deep disappointment.
Genuine compassion for people close to us was once considered a virtue, a fine trait. Now, more and more 'identities' are loudly screeching, mobbing and insulting demands for compassion with 999 supposedly attacked and marginalized communities: for 'mentally ill' knife attackers; for terrorists who shoot kibbutz farmers and kidnap and slaughter dancing children; for rioting anti-Semites and for allegedly 'trauma-burdened' gropers of women in swimming pools or pedestrian zones, for 'environmentally-souled' graffitists and destroyers of irreplaceable works of art; for 'empathic' psychiatrists who liberally prescribe puberty blockers to children despite irreversible consequences for their lives and health: stop it!
Assaults remain assaults, crimes remain crimes - and there is no compassion for them, only prosecution and condemnation. Real compassion belongs to our neighbours, collegues, friends, families – to the people who are important to us. We all should proudly and confidently put attempts at blackmail, manipulation, moral-loaded molotov-cocktails, mobbing and reality-twisting ideological nonsense in their place. I sat down and wrote “Compassion ?!” Sir Waldo Weathers (sax) and DJ Mikkka (solo-synth) added their musical signatures. From this moment on I felt better. (-Jean-Luc Delmonac aka Mario Nantscheff-)
