...and after 07/07/07 ...
...An inconvenient truth or dare?...
Astrid Rhemrev & Marco Brans wrote " Let's come to The United Universe...dot...com !" as a little follow up for TUU

Some say this, some say that, some say Al Gore's documentary and initiative for the Live Earth Concerts are the right thing, some say they're just useful instruments for his political ambitions.... Anyway..... I have some thoughts I want to share with you.......
....... the universe is immense, beyond our imagination, and our planet is just a little dot, we don't know much about the forces that keep the universe the universe, we don't know if these forces somehow influence our little dot and its atmosphere, we don't know if or how powerful men's actions influence our atmosphere, but we do know that we can only breathe because of trees, and we do know that fossil fuel is not inexhaustible, and we do know that we poison the air we and our children can't do without, and we do know that we poison the environment in which we and our children live, and we do know that people are starving while we throw away over-produced food, and we do know oh so many other things.....
So, what is wrong with taking a closer look at the way we live and the way we consume and consider some changes? I'm not a saint nor a hypocrite but I think that it's up to us to try to create a better society and environment because we're not alone on this planet and we can't live without other people... So, why not?...Why not dare ourselves? That's why together with composer/musician Marco Brans I wrote "Let's come to the united universe... dot... com !" and you can download a demo version at: http://www.theuniteduniverse.com/kristal/default_peggy_and_steve.php (demo song no longer available for download).
This global website is an initiative not only to create awareness but more important offering a helping hand to make some changes. I don't know if this website is gonna work out the way it was intended and I don't know if I did the 'right' thing, but for me, saying no when I was asked to write a song would have been wrong.

 
 
 


Let's come to the united universe ...dot...com!

In our western world of comfort, we tend to close our eyes - If we don't find a way to see, we will choke in our own lies - How can we look in the eyes of a child, while we destroy planet earth - There is only one choice to make today, so go there and spread the word
------- Let's wake up people, wake up now, before it is too late - Let's take this chance, the only chance,
------- to change our final fate - Let's organize to fight this curse ......
------- Let's all come .....to the united universe dot com !
Running out of gas and oil, but we don't seem to care at all - We light and drive like maniacs, we don't care to stop the fall - How can we look in the eyes of a child, while we destroy planet earth - There is only one choice to make today, so go there and spread the word
------- Let's wake up people, wake up now, before it is too late - Let's take this chance, the only chance,
------- to change our final fate - Let's organize to fight this curse ......
--------Let's come to the united universe dot com !
Tons of water from the poles, our land is going down - Soon the last tree will be cut,.our lungs are shrinking down - How can we look in the eyes of a child, while we destroy planet earth - There is only one choice to make today, so go there and spread the word
So many people, so many brains - So many solutions, so many ways
------- Let's wake up people, wake up now, before it is too late - Let's take this chance, the only chance,
------- to change our final fate - Let's organize to fight this curse ......
--------Let's come to the united universe dot com !
