Hey everyone! Real quick before we start,
I wanted to take a moment to do a couple thank-yous.
A big thank you to Roy Burns for arranging and producing the instrumental of this cover,
and another big thank you to Josh Abelson for mixing it.
Josh is the one who produced and mixed my EP of original songs Dis Tracks,
if you're interested in working with him, I'll leave his email and a link to his Instagram in the description below,
as well as a link to Roy's channel, where he does piano covers.
Alright, that's it.
Clones, assemble!
I'd like to build the world a home And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing (Sing with me) In perfect harmony (perfect harmony)
I'd like to hold it in my arms And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand (hand in hand)
And hear them echo through the hills For peace through out the land
That's the song I hear (hand in hand) Let the world sing today (I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony)
That's the song I hear (hand in hand) Let the world sing today (sing with me) (I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony)
Do do do do
(Kazoo solo)
I'd like to build the world a home And furnish it with love

(That's the song I hear) I'd like to teach the world to sing (sing with me) In perfect harmony

(That's the song I hear) I'd like to see the world for once (Let the world sing today) All standing hand in hand

That's the song I hear
Stop, stop.
Kazoo solo, not helping anything. Just go, just go.
Look, I would like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, but let's be real.
In a system that was built on inequality, and built to maintain that inequality,
how can we ever hold hands and have peace throughout the land?
What I mean by that is, black lives matter. It needed to be said.
And it's obvious to me now that it's not enough to be passively not racist, it's time to be vocally anti-racist.
So that being said, in an attempt to use my platform for something good,
I would love to use this comments section as a place to share,
please share your favorite black creators or black-owned businesses, if that's you, plug yourself,
please share-- let's see some reading lists, movies, documentaries to watch,
helpful Twitter threads, petitions, gofundme links,
anything you think might be helpful to the people who pass by and watch my humble video.
And I know I have a lot of viewers that are outside of the US, but racism is not a problem exclusive to the US,
so I encourage you to show solidarity in any way that you can.
maybe posting on your social media or signing a petition,
it's absolutely free,
or if you're able, donating to or working with organizations that help your own community.
And finally, if anyone has a problem with this, um,
I really don't want to hear you make a fuss about it,
please don't turn this comments section into a hot dumpster fire,
just leave quietly, no one is forcing you to be here.
And it's not an airport, you don't need to announce your departure.
Okay, bye.
