Whisper

from The Greater Good by Rasmus Fynbo

about

This is really about Slacktivism. This song is directed at all those privileged people who acknowledge the climate crisis but aren’t willing to do anything about it. All those highly educated people with good jobs who are never to be found out on the street demonstrating for a better world. They have all the right opinions but do very little about it.

I am definitely one of them.

I really had fun with this one. It is the first time I mix Latin elements in one of my songs. The cello in this song is really awesome, you can really tell that Nina is used to playing tango. As with “The Freedom to” I wrote the song specifically with an Israeli guitarist in mind because I wanted him to play some Klezmer licks in the song.
However, he ended up not having the time to play on the song so I found a great Norwegian guitarist instead who took the song in a more Kaizers Orchestra direction.

lyrics

The cause requires a fight
You keep on saying you might
Before you start giving birth
Before you cripple this earth
Well, the time is now

Whisper, why do you whisper?
Why don't you join them out in the street?
Tomorrow? Tomorrow it's too late!

Acting isn’t in vain
When seeing is causing you pain
The SoMe in all of its might
Can never settle a fight

Whisper, why do you whisper?
Why don't you join them out in the street?
Tomorrow? Tomorrow it's too late!

I don’t know, how you manage to just lay low, how you let go
While the future, while the future becomes the past.

Whisper, why do you whisper?
Why don't you join them out in the street? Tomorrow?
Tomorrow you still whisper.
Why do you whisper?
Why don't you join them out in the street?
Tomorrow? Tomorrow it's too late!
