Sari Schorr Releases A New Video For The Track ‘The New Revolution’
Written by Johnson Stephen on July 9, 2020
Sari’s latest video ‘The New Revolution’ (from her album ‘Never Say Never!’) was written by Sari Schorr & Bob Fridzema and the song was written to honour Martin Luther King, Jr. — America’s iconic advocate and champion of Civil Rights and non-violence and one of the greatest non-violent Leaders in World history.
At the heart of the song lies the line : ”Seems like only yesterday, a bullet blew the dream away, Coloured by Hate.”
Watch the video via the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vQmb2ZYckc&feature=youtu.be and you’ll see archive and news footage of peaceful protests (past and present) get woven with Sari singing passionately in a caged space while background images of George Floyd, police and protests ghost in the background. Sari also sings, with passion and conviction, out in the open, in front of a rainbow in a dark grey sky.
In May 2020, the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement brought issues that Dr. King campaigned about back into the limelight. This inspired Sari Schorr to re-release ‘The New Revolution’ and to make a hard-hitting new video for it.
“I wrote the ‘The New Revolution’ to express the feeling I had that the World would soon be entering an era of great change,” Sari says, explaining what inspired the song in 2018, ”In response to the message of Racism and Division that was being amplified by our President Donald Trump, I could imagine a growing movement that would embrace the fight for social justice.”
Now, in 2020, Sari adds, ”That moment of change has finally come. The time has come to welcome a new age far beyond the grip of hatred and cruelty.”
Martin Luther King’s message and example is as powerful, relevant and resonant as it has ever been: “Stand up for righteousness. Stand up for justice. Stand up for truth” We must, says Sari!
