ImproveSomething.com is a brand new project from the PeacePeeps.com people.
With your help, the very first thing we're going to improve is a music video.
We're compiling Improve Something photos from all over the world -- taken by fun-loving peace-loving people like yourself (see details in the lower left sidebar) -- for inclusion in our new collaborative Improve Something Song (ISS) music video.
As the photos come in we're adding them to the official ISS videos, publishing a new version every couple months. Visit here often to witness the videos improve and improve and improve!
I N T R O D U C I N G . . .
The very first Improve Something Campaign video with music!
The stunningly beautiful soundtrack is an original creation by the band Ennis (see our top friends). Their wonderfully uplifting song starts playing about twenty seconds in, so please don't scroll by it.
We also uploaded the video to myspace, so you can easily add it to your own myspace profile by clicking on "add to profile".
Simply visit our PeacePeeps.com myspace page and you'll find the video just above our top friends section.
Please feel free to leave comments about how you liked it or how we can IMPROVE the video by clicking here.
And if you DO add the Improve Something Campaign video to your profile, please drop us a line to let us know so that we can shower you with Improvement Movement Love and Kisses!
Thanks for your participation and support!
P R E V I O U S L Y . . .
When we published version 2.2, there was no sound yet, so you don't have to mute anything else to play it:
Version 2.4 of the video will be published here in November, so please send in your pictures and/or songs ASAP!
We're accepting original songs (in all genres) from creative musicians and composers who wish to offer their own interpretations of what the Improve Something Song should be.
Eventually, we'll select the best entries in each musical category to serve as permanent soundtracks to the various versions of the Improve Something Song videos.
NOTE: If you've already created a great song which you think works musically, consider changing the lyrics a little bit to fit the Improve Something Song concept and submit it. It's your music, so that's not cheating.
Of course, it's completely up to you as to how you compose the music (with or without lyrics), as well as how you take your photos (if you're not a musician), or you can do both:
Be creative, be boring,
be complex, be simple,
be playful, be serious,
be reverent, be flippant,
be funny, be sad,
be sincere, be sarcastic,
be sexy, be prudish,
be silly, be non-silly,
be thought-provoking,
be profound, be shallow,
be them, be you!
We look forward to seeing your photos and/or hearing your songs.
If you'd like to contribute some sort of minimal positive effort to the Improve Something campaign (pictures, graphics, music, lyrics, short films, blogs, interviews, etc.), please do add yourself as a friend on our sister site:
...with a brief note saying that you'd like to be an active participator of some kind -- otherwise, friendship requests on our sister site will likely be ignored.
ATTN: Songwriters and Musicians -- Don't be shy. Feel free to submit any unfinished stuff you've sketched out. We're tweakers just like you. We fully understand that it's always a work in progress. I mean, check out the name of our website, 'k?
We're Here to Help
We can offer you genuine encouragement OR over-the-top harsh criticism, whichever you prefer. :)
Thanks to Karen and Maureen of Ennis for their beautiful song "Give Me Love" (see our top friends) -- it's the soundtrack to version 2.3 of the Improve-This-Song campaign.
REMEMBER: This is change that you can actually believe in, AND Xerox!
Yes! You have bannered my profile comments with my thoughts and my screams at the TV yesterday. See, we people, are united globally! I am Caucasian in Australia and get so angry at those white losers with a bee in their bonnet and want their leader and nation to fail to become like Natives again. Idiots, I guess they lost their own money first so explains why they are angry at themselves.
My hope is, every American realize they all need to hope that Obama Succeeds. If Obama Fails, thats Three Strikes, your out of here... well, invasion into healing your broken nation will be required. Fix America Now With Obama and You. Love, the Only Way.
If you know anyone with little ones in the house, or who works with children, please let them know that we have turned our January Book "Parsnip Meets A Snowman" into a short voiced-over film. It's on our myspace page and on youtube.
The book of the month is always available to read free on our own website www. thefoodiesbooks. com but we thought this would be a nice way to reach children who are not yet starting to read.
So if anyone wants to help their child make the connection between weather / seasons and the food they eat, this is a little fun starting point.
