Youssou N'Dour - 7 Seconds ft. Neneh Cherry

[Pyre]

I was listening to this song last night and thought that the lyrics "and when a child is born, into this world, it has no concept of the tone the skin it's living in" were quite poignant when it came to body image and naturism. We're all born naked and it's society that dictates that we should be covered. Sure there is the issue of warmth and protection but if it's an occasion where nudity is conducive then it's the world that teaches that nudity is shameful instead of it being innocent.

I've had that song for years and that never occurred to me to think that line that way
