This track is a collaborative spoken word piece, both by the climate activist Greta Thunberg, and British group The 1975. The track highlights the absolute urgency for change within today's current climate, and touches upon where we as civilization went wrong with the world. Greta speaks about the ways in which we can tackle this problem through a system change, and not individual change, though you can not have one without the other. The problem at hand is much more larger than we automatically assume, and i think pieces like this are so vital in bringing the information needed to people who aren't necessarily educated in the matter, it's vital in being a stepping stone towards change and a hopeful future. I have chosen to include this video in my research as i think it highlights the idea that anything can be communicated through art, no matter the seriousness or over arching theme of the message. I think it's a very successful attempt at communicating something to a wider audience and in a sense it pushes me further to want to spread awareness, or interpret selected issues through what i create across this project. Everyone has a platform, it's time we use them.
