Grammy-winning singer Sarah McLachlan- Must See Video! - "World on Fire"
Edited on Wed May-17-06 04:27 PM by Breeze54


Grammy-winning singer Sarah McLachlan performs her socially conscious song, "World on Fire," from the CD Afterglow.

After brainstorming different ideas for the music video, Sarah says her director approached
her with a groundbreaking idea. Instead of the usual $150,000 or more that it takes to produce
a music video, Sarah created the entire "World on Fire" video herself for just $15.

Then, she spent the left over money to help more than 1 million women and children around the world.

In the video, Sarah spells out exactly how the donated money was spent.

See the groundbreaking video at: http://www.worldonfire.ca

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

How she spent $15.00 making the video and spent the rest of the money to help others around the world!

http://www.worldonfire.ca/donations.html

This video and how she spent the money is AWESOME!!!!

:loveya:

PS. She isn't asking for donations either.

6. It answers some -
- specific questions too. The Who, What, Where, When and Why.
A lot of people donate to worthy causes but do not really understand
where all the money is going and for what reasons.
I think this video did a great job showing the answers to those questions.
I agree! It is educational!
;)

30. She's got many beautiful songs - a good artist to support by buying CDs
Her 'Fumbling Toward Ecstasy' CD is one of the best CDs I've eveer heard. Thoughtful, penetrating truthful lyrics and beautiful melodies. Guys, this is a no-brainer big score gift for the woman in your life.
