Russia: Lumen / Voices of the World
The composition is anti-war in nature, musicians from different countries took part in its recording, and fans participated in the creation of the text. The premiere of the composition took place on March 11, 2016.
At the end of 2015, Lumen launched an action: they placed a sound file with a ready chorus and vocal melody of a verse and invited everyone to take part in writing the text of a future song. As a result, the group sent more than three hundred letters with poems and prose. “From different interpretations of general ideas, the final result was obtained,” says Lumen frontman Tam Bulatov. – Few will find their own lines directly in them. But we tried to put into the song what every author wanted to convey. This, of course, is a joint work, a truly folk text.
The idea of the video clip was proposed by the team of director Alexander Makov. The authors passed through the entire clip one powerful image – the image of a city touched by war. Destruction, desolation and gloom of dilapidated buildings are replaced by empty fields into which once inhabited lands turn.
Jamaica
Jamaica: Bob Marley “War / Stop the Troubles”
Comment by the authors of the clip, the “Playing for Change” team:
“When we traveled the world, we were faced with love and hate. We have met both rich and poor, black and white people, and countless religious groups and ideologies. During our journey, it became completely clear that as humanity we need to rise from darkness to light, and this music will be our weapon of the future.
This video from our album Songs Around the World (“Songs of the World”) shows musicians who have seen and overcome enmity and hatred with love and perseverance. “We no longer need trouble, all we need is love.” The spirit of Bob Marley always lives! ”
This is not the only song dedicated to the theme “No war”, and even in 1978, Bob Marley gave a political concert designed to prevent the civil war in Jamaica – “One Love Peace Concert”. At the end of this speech, at the request of Marley, the leaders of the opposing parties took the stage and shook hands.
