Heavy-handed and boring
Want to see an example of "cause song" that has the opposite effect? Rather than get people motivated to your cause, turn them away? Listen to this "all star" line-up for this track, "Beds are Burning." In addition to a monotone, heavy-handed spoken intro, this effort manages to take one of the most dynamic politically-charge rock songs -- Midnight Oil's "Beds are Burning" (about aboriginal rights in Australia) -- and turn it into a vapid, boring ode to climate change. Very disappointing.

The Beds may be burning but the feeling is anything but Hot.
Well I give these great artist their due first. It's obvious they care and want to bring awareness to a critical subject. It has got to be hard to do this though when the Music and song itself just, well, stinks. When "We are the World came out it had some movement and real emotion in it and it just lit everyone up to wanting to help. This is one big downer right from the begining. It comes across as a bad stab at trying to do the right thing and missing by a mile. Keith Phelps
