Peace (when possible, but, if you can, don't let people treat you or other good souls or beings or nature bad).. be kind to the good hearted.. protect the good when you can.. don't let the bad guys win or crush your spirit or your hopes or your good dreams for a good and happy future that you have.. don't ever let them make you forget how Great you are.. never give in! the universe created you because it needs you to be here and for you to be you, so you MUST be Great! And hugely important, even if you can't see it right now, take it from me, you are!.. so let's make steps to find ways to get closer to live the life you hope life could be, the life your heros would live if they were in tough times and were trying to find ways to make things better and to make things good, even in small ways, even one step closer to how we would like things to be, and keeping on trying, especially when things go wrong! be kind to yourself, tell yourself it is Great you are trying, and try doing the things you would love to try to do, even if it is just some small nice thing that might make you feel better, or life Great even!, in this moment :) it might work!
Best wishes to you Always

Based on the lyrics of Mobb Deep
music, melody, this arrangement, and all lyric variations by Castle Hassall
@CastleHassall
.. Sanctuary for in Tough Times
Rest in Peace Prodigy.. recorded this in Massive Respect to you and to Havoc
------
(((music business cr@p now follows in case YouTube or Mobb Deeps representatives try to strike me for copyright or for any licensing issues:
regarding the copyright of Survival of the Fittest, I have not monetised this video and the foundation for the lyrics for this track belongs to Mobb Deep.. BUT the music and Arrangement and melody and lyrical changes are written by me Castle Hassall so any royalty split if this song is recorded or released by any artists would be 50/50 between Mobb Deep and Castle Hassall
if any money is made from this song I fully intend to keep 50% of it to give to Mobb Deep
I tried repeatedly to contact Mobb Deep, and when Prodigy died I tried to contact Havoc.. to ask permission to use their lyrics as the foundation for this song, but I could not get a response from them or their management or record company so please if you represent Mobb Deep and you want to discuss this track please email me at castlehassallrecords@gmail.com .. thanks
would love to hear from you Havoc.. tried your Facebook and all kinds of other ways to give you a private preview of this to ask your permission if I could sing my variation of your lyrics but I could not find a way to get a response from you.. no disrespect intended, I tried to come correct but could not find a way to speak direct with you and your label etc just didn't reply to me when I asked if I could post this but I'm totally ok with removing it from YouTube if you don't want it up here

Peace.. please everyone who cares about the good hearted please email politicians and the media and try to build up a strong campaign (and ask Amnesty International and the International Court of Human Rights/War Crimes).. to make profiting from war (and ANY injury or death or trauma caused by war for innocent people/non+combatants) illegal..
.. well, that's me on a list now.. if I die early it was not me who did it..
Please Protect the Good Hearted and innocent in this world whenever we can

Sanctuary for in Tough Times
I hope this can be a future classic song for someone to sing, and that it gives comfort in the years to come when I am gone, to those who are trying to find a way to make things better in life.. good luck folks!!!
---
this song is about wishing life could be good for good hearted people
I wrote this when I was going through a lot of very tough times
things are really tough still, for many many people
but there are many many people who have it far harder than I'll ever have it..
and I really hope we can find a way to make things better for all the good hearted people and children of this earth now and in future

it's very tough times for many people.. but please...don't give up..
please be kind to yourself.. and keep on trying.. figure out what you would really like , or what would make this moment feel better and safer and nicer right now
and think about what you would really love to build up in life
and hopefully we can try to do what we meant to do in life
if we try and it does not work, at least we can feel we tried
but in these tough times.. please, in the toughest moments, be kind to yourself, remind yourself you deserve to be treated good by those about you, and try to get away from any who treat your bad, and find ways to build up the life we closer to how we hope it can be, even a small step at a time and we might be able to make it work!
but when things get Really tough, please just be kind to yourself, cheer yourself on, comfort yourself and keep on trying, for me if you have no one else to try for.. or for the person who would be really upset if you were not here, and for me if you do not have a person like that I will try to keep cheering you on
---
I had hoped my life would mean something and that I would have helped the world.. but I fail in so many ways.. but I hope I can make the world a better place for me having been here, for someone, even if I can't be great for many I hope I can make the world a better place even for a moment for someone one day
I hope I have, or that I will do, in some good way, one day
I'll keep on trying to help others feel better in the world if I can... I was broken by life so that is why I really want to help lift up anyone who is feeling things are too tough, so please always get in touch if it feel you need or want to talk any time, or any time you need a friend to cheer you on
---
You're always welcome at Castle Hassall if you need some good hearted company and some heartfelt songs to listen to, sung by me, Rolland Hassall, a broke and broken man who is wishing life could be good for good hearted people..

Sanctuary for in tough times
do you think this would make a really good Tom MacDonald new song chorus???
if you think that's a good idea for him to do then please help me find a way to convince him to give me a shout to do a new song collaboration with my chorus and him rapping! about how we wish the world could be good for good hearted people
if anyone knows how to get him to think about doing that please help!
I'm at CastleHassall@gmail.com

also I've been thinking it would be nice to do some free live stream personal concerts (just me playing a few of my songs and chatting for a while.. I thought it would be a nice thing to do) via WhatsApp video calls with people who like my songs..
so if you send me a message to Castle Hassalls WhatsApp number that I just set up just now (+447835515926) to say hi and say what songs of mine you'd like to hear then I'll get back in touch with you through WhatsApp message and we can figure out when would be a good time for us both to chill out together and me to play some of my songs and say hi.. I won't be able to always do this I just thought it might be nice to do for anyone who would really really like to hear me play my songs for you, as my way of saying thanks to you for actually liking my songs when I doubt my own abilities so much!
even if you don't want to have me play my songs it would be great to be able to keep in touch with people through messaging in case I ever lose my YouTube channel if I keep trying to speak up against injustice or oppression of good hearted people in the world so if you'd like to be in touch through WhatsApp please do, I'd always be glad to hear from good hearted people who care about how others are in the world, and we can maybe figure out how to make life better in tough times too I hope!
If you do want to get in touch via WhatsApp please just send a text message at first thanks, please don't phone the number if I don't know who your are, as I never answer calls from numbers I don't know, so if you want to say hi please send a WhatsApp message.. would be great to build links with good people..
I'm on Telegram too but I have not got a clue how to work it so if you can help me figure that out that would be awesome! the channel is "Castle Hassall" .. I only just set that account up but I'm not sure if I'll use it but if people do want to be in touch through there I'll figure it out.. my friend said it was good to use but I don't have a clue but I figured it might be nice to try!:)
the video is the chorus of my song "I'm Not The Only One".. it's about wishing life could be good when we are good hearted to others and how tough things can be when we are good hearted to others and some people are just really mean.. I really do hope that all the good hearted people in the world have really Good and Really Happy lives with Really good things happening for you from now on
I hope you have a really Good and Happy future even if I never hear from you.. please protect the good hearted people in the world any time you can.. Thanks!
Best wishes to you Always

you'll at least be able to have a laugh at how long it took me to (still) not tidy my room, which was my first mission many moons ago and is still a work in progress:)
newsflash: i may be losing this room and house so am totally struggling to deal with that.. further updates to follow unless this just completely destroys my will to keep on functioning which is looking increasingly likely as I've lost so much so many times I'm getting really sick of loss of things i truly value really deeply
so if you follow my quest @PotentialTechniques you'll be able to see if i find ways to save the things i love and keep on going with building up my life or not..
i hope life will be really good for you

..i hope life will be good for good hearted people in the future, and that we find a way to stop the selfish mean cruel bad people from dominating the power or even getting power in the first place..
in game theory Domination is defined as running a game where the players in the game the dominant entity conttols are not even aware they are IN a game AND they do not understand (and are not aware of) the rules of the game they are subject to (the game the players are dominated in).. so really to avoid being dominated we need to look at what the game REALLY is, what the "rules" REALLY are, and wake up to how to stop being distracted by wars and scandals and character (and real) assassination of good change makers etc.. and start to build a way where we are NOT made subject to a game that is set up to keep us distracted and passively accepting the bad stuff we are made subject to etc.. so we can prosper and protect the good and build up good lives for the good hearted people of this earth and free ourselves from the shackles of wage slavery and be able to stop being made to accept bad treatment of the good in wars etc..
Peace.. Spread love.. Stop evil
:)
