Created for AmericanStudentsFund.org "Speak New Words" Music Video Contest. Composed and Produced by Aditya Rao.

Lookin at a world torn apart by war
Dreaming of the day when the peace is restored
In the end the final goal is change
The tools are ready, no need for delay Music always speaks the universal language
Cure for the children of pain and anguish

Dreaming of the day where the peace is restored
Thoughts of revolution have not yet gone ignored.
____
What we need to do is to look into our soul,
Forever the key to the problems we hold,

Compassion for our fellow man we need to see,
Sitting in my palm are thoughts of unity.

Together we rise up and innovate times
Signify the courage that we hold in our minds

Instead of brute force we do it through rhyme
Investigation will occur in due time

(CHORUS TUNE) Break through the molds that the industry created
Erase thoughts of differences and thoughts of hatred
Lookin at the world torn apart by war
Dreamin of the day where the peace is restored

Fuse things together that they wouldn't expect
Not fighting for respect, just taking the next step

Our vision is clear, and the music reflects it
Blending of cultures is forever present Impossible it is if we just look at ourselves
Forget about the others who's revolutions are quelled
dreaming of a world where inquisitive minds can arise
penetrate the barriers disconcerting eyes keep alive

  • Yo that song was so good. I really hope you win. And is that Jashank Sampat in the phils shirt?

  • haha yes, its jashank

  • Great job with the song composition. I agree that the camera not being steady at the beginning is distracting, but was that done for effects? Wish you said a few words looking at the camera. Either way, good work; keep it up.

  • Thank you for your thoughts, Atish. The "shaky camera effect" was done intentionally in order to stress that in the idea of realism, meaning in the real world, there is no stabilizing entity that keeps order in the universe. It's up to us to keep order. The video stresses change through our own efforts, hence the "shaky camera" effect.

  • Thanks man! Really appreciate it. I very much enjoyed your video as well. Great song & visual storytelling. I especially liked the up close angle of your face as you're walking down the sidewalk. Effective.

    Best of luck to you!

    Peace

  • But some of us believe in a stabilizing entity. Not to mix politics into a beautiful effort by an awesome kid, but look to DC to see the result of people trying to keep order: disastrous! GREAT video with a positive message though. There is hope.

  • Great and very nice. Keep it coming.

  • My Man Adi!!!!! you are the best! hope to see you in Hollywood soon!
