I was deeply affected by the image of Alan Kurdi's 3-year-old body that was found washed up after drowning trying to cross the Mediterranean. I found myself wanting to do more but feeling powerless. Sometimes I feel like the world is full of sinking boats and this song imagines a society that cares enough to rescue the innocents aboard them.
The crow character in the video is inspired by the Max Porter book ‘Grief is the thing with feathers’ in which a human size crow comes to stay with a father and his two children after they lose their mother. My crow in this video represents the greed & fear that we struggle with in todays society. he trying to sell and bribe our next generation into his dark ways of money & self importance rather than seeking out what is best for our humanity.
With all the money and wealth in the world now why do we still have 1 in 10 people on our plant that go hungry every day.
