help with this video?

[marnanel]

I need your help with a video, my lovelies! Would you film yourself holding up a piece of card with a line or two from my song, in the style of the Subterranean Homesick Blues video?

Let me know, and we can work out who does which lines. Lyrics at the end of this post. Claim a line or two if you like.

This song is unlikely to make any money, but if it does, the money will go to Cavell Nurses Trust.

Rough draft of the song (me singing; someone else has done the vocal track for the final version): https://youtu.be/JHlcgKSK4t8

== Lyrics ==

Out with a world of contracts to cheat us!
Out with the lords who hoard their gold!
Out with a world of sanctions to leave us
Starving in the cold:

Take hands and march to show
Our strength shall grow
And we shall not fail.
Take hands and let them know
Society is not for sale.

These are the dreams of safety and justice.
These are the hands to make it true.
Soon to return the wealth of the many
Stolen by the few:

Take hands and march to show
Our strength shall grow
And we shall not fail
Take hands and let them know
Society is not for sale

I'd like to help -- when do you need me to do it by?

[marnanel]

Thank you! I've added a comment about it below.

[marnanel]

...sorry, I didn't answer your question. By a week or so from now, I suppose? Before the inevitable election campaign kicks off here, I hope. :)

[marnanel]

Would you be OK with doing the first two lines of the first verse?

Cards here, though feel free to use something else: http://marnanel.org/temp/take-hands-signs.pdf

Re: Condolences

[brainwane]

I'm so sorry, I don't have time because of some obligations that have come up :(

Re: Condolences

[marnanel]

Aww. Thank you for letting me know, though!

Apology

[brainwane]

I'm sorry I dropped the ball and never did this.

[aldabra]

I'll do a line, if I'm not too far away to be convenient.

You know the Daily Mail song, presumably? (I think you may have linked it in the past.

[marnanel]

yes! it's good, isn't it.

[marnanel]

Would you be OK with doing the last two lines of the first chorus? (That's 5) below).

Cards here, though feel free to use something else: http://marnanel.org/temp/take-hands-signs.pdf

this is looking promising

[marnanel]

We have, I think, seven volunteers now (on Facebook and Dreamwidth); I can probably find a few more to divide things up equally. If a few existing volunteers can ask someone else, that would be helpful.

Does anyone particularly want a set of lines? Otherwise I'll deal them out randomly.

I can give you a PDF with your words on to print out, or if you like you can just write it on card and print that. Or if you're doing 7) maybe you can write it on your palms. Feel free to come up with more ideas!

1)
Out with a world of contracts to cheat us!
Out with the lords who hoard their gold!

2)
Out with a world of sanctions to leave us
Starving in the cold:

3 and 4) (two choruses)
Take hands and march to show
Our strength shall grow
And we shall not fail.
5 and 6)
Take hands and let them know
Society is not for sale.

7)
These are the dreams of safety and justice.
These are the hands to make it true.

8)
Soon to return the wealth of the many
Stolen by the few
