Geschreven op 22-12-2015 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Klimaat
Paul McCartney stars in the new video for “Love Song to the Earth,” an all-star collaboration recorded in the lead-up to the Paris climate conferences.
While the lyric video was unveiled in September, McCartney, along with Colbie Caillat, Sean Paul, Natasha Bedingfield and Q’orianka Kilcher, appear in the song’s proper video exploring the beauty of the planet and the potential ravages of climate change.
The stars are surrounded by lush greenery and an obligatory time lapse footage of flowers blooming in the Trey Fanjoy-directed video. There is also a bald eagle flying around and butterflies and clouds.
And, of course, what song would be complete without Sean Paulthrowing down some rap to punctuate its importance?
The video follows an accord that aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Proceeds from the star-studded production, which also features voices from the unseen Jon Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow and Fergie, will go to the environmental nonprofit Friends of the Earth and the UN Foundation.
