A song of hope and racial unity
Some time, do we always have the time to think, " Are we selfish ?" " Are we doing the right thing?"...Well, most i know theres always excuses behind this questions like, no time to think about,
excuse of this, that, this......haizzz......
well, let me intro you guys some nice songs from a combination of Malaysian Artists...
Artical from the Star.
Written by project producer Pete Teo, the song and its music video showcase local artistes and celebrities ranging from arts activists, sportsmen to corporate figures.
Teo said the song was about hope and racial unity.
“The song has shadows in its lyrics – it is not a one-dimensional patriotic song.
“All who participated in the song and its music video did it because they believe in its message of hope and unity,” he said, adding that the project involved some 120 people.
Among those involved in the project included Afdlin Shauki, Awie, Ning Baizura, Jaclyn Victor, Reshmonu, Atilia, KLG Sqwad, Altimet, Suki, Daniel Lee, Datuk Tony Fernandes, Maya Karin, Singletrackmind, Stephen Chua, Shebby Singh, Sharifah Amani, Amber Chia and Ida Nerina.
Although predominantly an English composition, the song has a multi-lingual section sung in Malay, Mandarin and Tamil.
A Malay version of the song is in the works by Afdlin Shauki and other language versions of the song are expected to be unveiled in associated projects before long.
To a question, Teo said he travelled a lot overseas and thought it would be a nice idea to record a song with many personalities in it.
On the choice of participants, Teo said it represented the rakyat.
Teo said the fact that the project was completed in a month with zero budget said a lot about the people behind it.
“Nobody was paid. It was free. It took merely five weeks for the team to complete the production phase of the project from scratch.”
Music artiste and producer Jason Lo said he got involved in the song because it had to do with unity.
To date, the song and video, directed by Yasmin Ahmad and Ho Yuhang have received 38,000 downloads at www.malaysianartistesforunity.info in just eight days.
