a nice tune and video put together as fund raiser by young Canuck artists

can download the video or song for $2 from Itunes which goes to the cause

i see Jim Cuddy and Tom Cochrane contributing...it sure would have been nice to see GL (on tour or EMP probably unaware) in there inspiring those youngsters

i really dont know anything about Knaan but its his tune....Wavin Flag

wee Beaver, err, Beiber closed out the video...he also started off the We are the World remake...that was a let down, imo but nice of the artists to give their time

btw, also contributing to the Wavin Flag effort was the young guy (Jacob) singing lead for one of the Olympic closing ceremony performance rock bands (Hedley) and was also the dude who sang the alt version of Sundown during that Canadian Idol Lightfoot tribute night a few years back...not sure of NBC showed this or Alanis, Avril, etc

...So many wars, settling scores,
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor,
I heard them say, love is the way,
Love is the answer, that's what they say,
But look how they treat us, Make us believers,
We fight their battles, then they deceive us...

here is the video..such a nice Bob Ezrin production, good segue of voices, so consistent...that Nikki Yanofsky sure has a great tone, she and Beiber make me feel real old..wait, they ALL make me feel old, lol
