Sing for the Climate Belgium - Final clip

Sing for the Climate is a big singing manifestation that first took place on September 22 and 23 2012 in Belgium. More than 80.000 people in more than 180 Belgian cities and communities sang the song "Do it Now", urging politicians to take more ambitious climate measures both on local, national and international level. This video is a synthesis of recordings that were made in all locations. The success of 'Sing for the Climate' proves that a mass mobilization around climate change is still possible even after the COP15 in Copenhagen.

But Belgium is a small country and climate change is global problem, which needs to be tackled on an international level. Therefore we appeal to local groups and organizations worldwide to organize their own version of Sing for the Climate.

The song "Do it now" was created to the tune of the Italian protestsong "Bella Ciao".

Brilliant. Here are the lyrics (1)

We need to wake up
We need to wise up
need to open our eyes
And do it now now now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now

We’re on a planet
That has a problem
got to solve it, get involved
And do it now now now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now

And six year latter...nothing has changed for the better. Only awareness. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE, RIGHT NOW.

On the music of Bella Ciao, the most popular italian partisan song. They fougth nazis and they won. May their power and they energy will inspire this new generation. They would be proud of you!

[bradyquixote]

My #1 fav song. I have quoted from it a couple dozen times and sing it to myself often. Our chorus introduced it to me. I was appalled I had never heard it considering my climate science studies, but USA, dang it, ignores me and our song. I will persist.

[AlanGamble]

Thank you world citizens living in Belgium!! The power of unity.

[muguettedonnay]

[elifrompe]

Heel mooi uitgewerkt! Als we nu allemaal behalve zingen ons verder blijven inzetten voor het klimaat, dan komen we ergens! Laten we het voorbeeld blijven geven met zang en daad!

[plazamaclovia]

WE NEED TO KEEP THIS MOVEMENT, NOW NOW NOW

[ritaverfaillie]

Het is een lied dat mij altijd opnieuw opbeurt, ook al is het al een tijd geleden: goede zangers (ook minder goede zijn toegelaten!) Prachtig!!

[pietrosimonelucisano]

We need to wake up
We need to wise up
We need to open our eyes
And do it now now now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
We’re on a planet
That has a problem
We’ve got to solve it, get involved
And do it now now now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
Make it greener
Make it cleaner
Make it last, make it fast
and do it now now now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now

[rickharlan]

We're singing NOW NOW NOW! more urgently than ever in Seattle's Climate Action Families. To start with what everyone can agree on, we've switched the first and second verses, like so:
We’re on a planet; that has a problem.
We’ve got to solve it, get involved and do it now now now!
We need to build a better future,
And we need to start right now!

We need to wake up; We need to wise up
We need to open our eyes, and do it now now now!
We need to build a better future.
And we need to start right now!

Make it greener; make it cleaner;
Make it last, make it fast, and do it now, now now!
We need to build a better future,
And we need to start right now!

No point in waiting, or hesitating.
We must get wise, take no more lies, and do it now now now!
We need to build a better future,
And we need to start right now!

[guydauncey]

We'll be singing this at the March in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island.

Lyrics to verses 3 & 4


Make it greener

Make it cleaner

Make it last, make it fast

do it now now now

We need to build a better future

And we need to start right now


No point in waiting

Or hesitating

We must get wise, take no more lies

And do it now now now

We need to build a better future

And we need to start right now

[AlainProviste]

One for all, all for one...:=))
And we start by now...
