From the Artist

I feel a deep desperation and an almost overwhelming helplessness.

I feel anger and sorrow over the deaths of thousands of people.

It feels like a wound, open and festering, that threatens humanity within us.

The best way for me to process this is through music and I let the music become the action I need to take.

To stand against massacres.

To stand against the bombs.

To stand against the crimes committed to a whole people.

To stand against genocide.

If we let this continue it will be the death of our humanity

If we let this continue we all loose our souls

If we let this continue we all deserve the same fate as Palestine.

This is not about politics, nor religion, it is about being human.

This is not to be debated, because we have all seen the pictures and videos of starving children, dead bodies and the annihilation of a whole country.

There is no justification for this!

This is genocide and humanity cannot accept it!

“Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold.  It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience.  Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.” – Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
