Shameless self-promotion.

A music video I produced using clips from the NSPCC adverts. Lyrics = me. "Singer/Talker" = me. Music = sampled. Comments welcomed.

Lyrics:

Inner Light

Come with me unto darkness and I will show you light
A place where the sun shines even though it's night
I'll help you find an Inner Light that's far more bright
A hidden depth inside that's out of sight
Come with me? Yeah, I thought you might...


I've been watching adverts on the TV
The ones with abused kids for the NSPCC
There's this one boy I see may as well be me
He reflects intellect in his eyes
Through neglect I share his guise
He knows no matter how much he cries
They won't answer until he dies
And when he's gone he'll still belong
And long for the people who did him wrong
Maybe one day they'll hear this song
And know that the neglect kept him strong
For so long, he's felt a guilt
He hides himself inside his quilt
And it's not until you tilt the wilt
You learn his growth
Came from those you love to loath
Hate to love, love to hate, both
And when you pledge that oath
Of £2 a week
I know you seek to help the meek
Realise, the child holds an inner light that's far from weak
The child is me you and him and it's for us I speak


Come with me unto darkness and I will show you light
A place where the sun shines even though it's night
I'll help you find an Inner Light that's far more bright
A hidden depth inside that's out of sight
Come with me? Yeah, I thought you might...


I hope to bring you clarity
Help you understand the case of charity
Verity rises with insularity
As human beings we feel isolated
That's a fact it doesn't need to be debated
From the day we're born we're loved and hated
Related to people we feel unrelated
Interrelated by the fact our parents dated
A life negated by the fact we're fated to
Step out in life wearing the mated shoe
This connection we have is between all of humanity
From Islam to Hindu through to Christianity
And it's only our own vanity
That causes the insanity
Insane wars are fought without cause
Inside wars battle with our own flaws
Find your Inner Light and pause
I know I'm not perfect
Like the child in the Ad, I'm a reject
But the shine inside helps protect
Without self-respect
I'm a neglect-suspect
I suspect we all neglect those we want to protect
I suggest we stop being obsessed about being depressed
And press ourselves to help and bless
The less well off, yeah you've guessed
That Inner Light is in our chest
It's the beating heart we all share
And just by listening
I know you care


Come with me unto darkness and I will show you light
A place where the sun shines even though it's night
I'll help you find an Inner Light that's far more bright
A hidden depth inside that's out of sight
Come with me? Yeah, I thought you might...
