We wanted to release this video in time for the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, 2020. Back in 1970, an oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara created a worldwide movement that continues today. The question we ask is WHY have we not progressed with the environmental cause as quickly as the women's and civil rights movement which began at the same time? This call to action song is written and performed by Chris Birkett. The video was directed, shot and edited by Joan Prowse, creator of the TV series Green Heroes. Appearing in the video is Tristan Avakian on electric Ud, Natalie Wong on Violin, Jeremy Edwards on Harmonica and Shari Tallon on keys. For the song itself all instruments were played by Chris Birkett except for the Harmonica. Video was shot on location i Montreal, in the Gatineaus and in downtown Toronto. Please share widely and remember there's never a better time to "wake up and know the truth, this world was made for all"

Wake Up

Medigoround
When all you wanna do is lay down
Your head is spinning round and around
Your doctor says you might be crazy
and sends you to the pharmacy

He tells you that it’s all in your head
his lack of insight fills you with dread
He offers a solution for you
“HRT is what you must do”

It’s not inside your head
I said it’s not inside your head
No it’s not inside your head
It’s not inside your head

Your hopes of health are turning to ashes
as you put up with the hot flushes
an under active thyroid they say
and doctor shopping is the new way

Your gaining weight and wondering why
losing hair and feeling so shy
Your use of pharmaceuticals grow
and still your energy stays low

Menopause and inflammation
Sleepless nights and Jeans too tight
Cupboards full of medication
Try some meditation tonight

The voice of reason is ringing in your ears
words of compassion, there’s nothing here to fear
and if you listen the truth becomes clear
It has never been inside  - never been inside your head

I’m calling this a medicine song
and hoping that you’ll all sing along
a better way is waiting for you
and if you’re ready that’s what we’ll do

Your girlfriend turns you onto a book
the answer is inside if you look
just change your diet and try some herbs
It’s a virus that’s attacking your nerves

Eliminate the eggs and dairy
add some Zinc and wild Blueberries
your immune system is always your friend
so don’t suppress it and pretend


We’re on a Medigoround - It’s not inside your head
I said It’s not inside your head
We’re on a Medigoround - No it’s not inside your head
It’s not inside your head

Forget the Medication, try some Meditation

Hallelujah
