A chance for a new video artist to make their mark.

Richard Irwin and Sheer Joy Music are collaborating on a new single “A Better World” to be released for Earth Day 2021. We are looking for a videographer to produce a music video to accompany the song which reflects the core message of the lyrics: that we can all work together to save our planet.

To apply, please produce a 30 second demo prompted by the following lyrics:

Verse:

Plastics in the ocean,
And poisons in the air,
There’s is a better way –
We can all do our share.
If we’re to save the Earth,
Believe me there is time,
We will create a better world
For those we leave behind.

Chorus:

A better way, a better world!
A better road to take.
We journey on! The journey’s long!
It’s a better world we’ll make.

The winner will be awarded £250 to create the full music video for Better World which will be sung by an established artist and distributed through all major music channels.

Better World

A new song to be released for Earth Day 2021

There’s a cold wind blowing across the world to night;
There’s a darkness descending blocking out the light,
The dream that’s dying leaves sadness in my heart,
For what man has put asunder can tear the world apart, world apart, world apart!

A better world! A better way!
A better road to take,
We journey on! The journey’s long!
A better world to make.

A sickness in the ocean, poison in the air,
There’s a better way, but we have to do our share,
To save the planet, believe me there’s still time,
Oh yes we’ll leave a better world for those we leave be-hind, leave behind, leave behind!

A better world! A better way!
A better road to take,
We journey on! The journey’s long!
A better world to make.

There’s a time to make difference with you and me;
We start caring if our planet’s to be saved,
Oh yes So our children’s children will live a better way, better way, better way!

A better world! A better way!
A better road to take,
We journey on! The journey’s long!
A better world to make.

Birds up in the heavens and fish out in the sea,
It isn’t up to someone else, just you and me!
Save the trees and bees and flowers now be-fore they’re gone,
We’ll leave a better world for ones who come a long, come a long, come a long.

A better world! A better way!
A better road to take.
We journey on! The journey’s long! No better time to make!
A better world! A better way!
A better road to take.
We journey on! The journey’s long!
A better world to make.
A better world! Together built,
And if we read the sign,
We’ll journey on!
And all belong In our our pure new world divine.
