Yes We Can Song - Michael Campion - Folk Hip Hop Remix: Inspired by Barack Obama - Will.i.am - Jesse Dylan.
I was so inspired by my first video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R-clcNkm3M ), a cover of the tune with just guitar and voice, that I decided to do a fully orchestrated version. I took my improvised melodies from my other video and developed and arranged them. I recorded this track this weeke
nd in my bedroom, on my laptop. I played guitar, keys, percussion, bass and voice on this song. Just like my other video, its not perfect by any means, but I was completely inspired and thought the message was more important than perfection. I hope you understand where I am coming from, and enjoy
the music. Download this track and/or post it on your MySpace! http://www.myspace.com/michaelcampionmusic Photos from Barack Obama's Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/barackobamadotcom/ I used iPhoto to create a collage of inspirational photos. I did this whole project with off the shelf, inexp
ensive tools. Essentially, I spent $0. Democracy in action. Information reposted from my other video: "Michael Campion Folk Cover Version Yes We Can Song - Barack Obama - Will.i.am I was sent a link tonight (Feb. 2, 2008) from Esthero, who appeared in the original video and song. This project in
spired me beyond words. I decided to figure out the guitar chords, print out the lyrics and record this version live, in one take on my laptop. I did this all within an hour or so of seeing the clip for the first time. This was a completely improvised musical performance; I did the best I could. I
am a singer-songwriter from New York; I hope you enjoy my version of this song and can take something away from the intention behind the project. I am going to post more about the song and the chords for anyone looking to learn and perform it. Yes, we can. http://www.michaelcampion.com http://www.
myspace.com/michaelcampionmusic http://www.barackobama.com/ http://www.yeswecansong.com/ I used G, Bm, Em and C. Bridge is Am, C, G - Cm at the end of the bridge; I added that chord as a turn around. Message me if you need the guitar tab. Lyrics: It was a creed written into the founding documents
that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It
was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we c
an heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a c
horus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. Now the hop
es of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and tog
ether, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- Yes. We. Can. "
