We're calling upon You-the world's musicians to step up and use you creativity and talent to be leaders. Climate change will be so sweeping in its impact and irreversible in its destructive power, it will radically alter human existence unless we act now to change public policy. And public policy will only change when enough people become aware and demand it. What better way to communicate than music? Your songs are needed.

Thousands of your songs circulating the airwaves will inspire people to face the truth about global warming. Your songs will serve as reminders of what's at stake and inspire hope and action.

A powerful, unprecedented grassroots Green movement is unfolding. Together, we will shake the world by its feet and spin the heads of its powerful leaders into the right direction. What better way to unite us and move us than with music and song?

We need your love songs to the earth; we need your songs of fire and ice, of passion and plain talk. We need songs that open our minds to the truth, that give us courage to face it, and vision to begin anew.

Your songs can and will put us back in touch with our basic connection to the natural world, our interdependence upon it. Music connects us to ourselves and to each other. Our future depends upon awakening to this vital connection.

We turn to you-the world's musicians-for energy and inspiration. Wake us up. Tell us the truth. Motivate us to act.

We ask you to use your gifts to write about a world in uproar, a people awakening slowly to an unfurling tsunami building in force. To a world that is changing beyond our wildest imagining. Make music that will help weaken that wave, save our children's future.

Climate has been constant and predictable since human civilization began ten thousand years ago. This stable state of the weather is what allowed human beings to settle down: to plant food, fish, organize governments, and establish national borders...

The climate is changing, de-stabilizing. We have changed the heat of the sun. We have altered the atmosphere and the ocean sphere.

Write and record one song about this environmental crisis, about responsibility to our children and unborn generations. Write about new beginnings, a humanity awakened to a more sane and caring way of life. Write what you want. Let the Earth be your muse.

Join the MUSE campaign now. Let the record show, the world's musicians stood up together, united. We used our gifts for the sake of life and all good things worth preserving.
A new beginning, a new world unfolds . . .
