Global climate change is without a doubt the biggest social challenge our species is currently facing. Actually, it’s the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced as a species.
We all need to get involved. Not just the elected officials, not just the advocates. We all. Including the artists. Maybe especially the artists.
It’s just one more reason I admire The Real Group, who have been at the forefront of advocacy through their music for some time.
Here they are in their interpretation of a global song challenge, singing their arrangement of “World On Our Our Shoulders”. You can read more about the project here.
With our eyes wide open,
Time for a change.
For every drop in the ocean,
Time for a change.
Make a resolution.
Time for a change.
We say, tomorrow’s a new day.I’m here standing with you,
Here standing with me,
Standing with the world on our shoulders.
If you like, you can download the song here. And if you love The Real Group’s version, they’ve made it freely available here, writing, “Singing is a powerful democratic tool and we hope you will sing this song loud and honest.”
