Florida rockers Soulidium have released an inspiring tribute video for France in the wake of the 11/13 terror attacks. The video features the song Shattered Man which is on their just released second album, Awaken. It is a great rock track with emotionally driven lyrics that grab your attention with the video. Lead singer Michael McKinight comments,
“French blood runs in the veins of my family, and this was a brutal and cowardly attack on innocent blood. I decided to make this tribute video because I wanted to do something inspiring for the people of France. ‘Shattered Man’ is a song about rising up out of the ashes of opposition and refusing to give in.”
Check out the video here:
McKnight explains about the video,
“The masked girl in the video represents the spirit of France. Despite the horrors around her, she continues to walk proudly down the streets of Paris because she knows that so long as the spirit of France remains strong, nothing can defeat her.
“This world is lost in an ocean of politics where conflicting personal interests prevent us from uniting for the betterment of not just a single country, but the entire world. I think it’s time for us to put aside personal interests and act together before it’s too late.
While we are squabbling about political correctness, afraid to use words like ‘Radical Islam’ for fear of offending anyone, the terrorists are killing our families without apology and growing in numbers. If a politician is more worried about offending the cowards who are killing their people, rather than being offended by the bloodshed of its citizens, then I say that politician is a traitor. The only way to defeat a merciless enemy is to exceed their mercilessness. I’m tired of watching this world drown in an ocean of political correctness, politics and mere talk. Fourteen years after 9/11, It’s time to stop dragging ass and get this job done as a united planet.”
You can pick up the song and the Awaken album on iTunes and all other digital retail stores.
We will see if we can bring you an interview with Michael soon. Make sure to visit the social media sites and stay up to date on the latest news.
