This is a music video I made for my band Warholsoup's song, "FOOD FOR THOUGHT". It's about poverty back home in the Philippines, a cause we hold close to our hearts. Though the poor people in the Philippines don't have a lot of material possessions, they are rich in faith. This is our little way of trying to make poverty history.
Thanks for watching the video! Spread the word! I hope it inspires you guys to join the fight against poverty not just in the Philippines, but worldwide. God bless.
PS- this was my first time using Final Cut Pro to make this video. =)
Most of the photographs in this video were taken by photographers I found on Flickr that were gracious enough to allow us to use their photos. I encourage you to visit their pages and read some of the stories behind the pictures:

LYRICS
::::::::::FOOD FOR THOUGHT:::::::::::
When my head is full and my body's weak
What's a kid like me gotta do for a bite to eat
when your from the slums of the philippines
with just a couple of pesos to last throughout the week
Now imagine if you can in a third world land
a mother feeds her child with her calloused hands
you see they can't afford a spoon nor a fork nor a knife
noone deserves to live that kind of life
but its okay, its alright
cuz as long as we got each other, then we'll be just fine
cuz with a spoonful of faith we gonna go a long way
a spoonful of faith is gonna go a long way.
Feed the need to make that change
The need is just so simple, yet it goes to waste
I'm not asking for a lot
Just a little bit of what you got
Thats just food for thought
The need is so simple, yet food goes to waste
We're born to die, not by this way
Children are dying, while our mind''s enslaved
Be the face of the change that you want to make
The plate you fill is the life you save
Cuz it really ain't gotta be this way
So surrender your soul to a better day
So surrender your soul to a better day
Feed the need to make that change
The need is just so simple, yet it goes to waste
I'm not asking for a lot
Just a little bit of what you got
Thats just food for thought
Said that's just food for thought
Said that's just food for thought
(BRIDGE)
To all my sisters and brothers
Let's take care of each other
Everything we have be thankful for
To all my sisters and brothers
Let's take care of each other
Everything we have, we thank the Lord
To all my sisters and brothers
Let's take care of each other
Everything we have be thankful for
To all my sisters and brothers
Let's take care of each other
Everything we have, we thank the Lord
Everything we have be thankful for
Everything we have be thankful for
Everything we have be thankful for
And when you get a chance help out the poor
Everything we have be thankful for
Everything we have be thankful for
Everything we have be thankful for
And when you get a chance help out the poor
Feed the need to make that change
The need is just so simple, yet it goes to waste
I'm not asking for a lot
Just a little bit of what you got
Thats just food for thought
Said that's just food for thought
Said that's just food for thought
Feed the need to make that change(x8)

Make poverty history!

You guys have a BIG heart and it shows how ,like many of us, your love for the Philippines and its people remain a strong motivation to continue your art. Keep up the great work! Btw, I'm a Filipina Filmmaker based here in LA but I'm in the process of returning to the Philippines to work there. If u need a director for any music video with the same concept (to spread awareness about poverty in the Philippines) I might be able to provide my services for free if my schedule permits. God bless!
