War Child

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"I Got Soul"

"I Got Soul" is a song by charity group War Child UK, recorded by "Young Soul Rebels". It is to be released on October 19, 2009. It heavily samples The Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" and also features the line "I Got Soul, But I'm Not a Soldier". A spokesperson for War Child UK has said "We're using the track, based around the hook line ‘I Got Soul, But I’m Not A Soldier’ to draw attention to the 300,000 children who sadly are".[1]

[edit]Music video

The music video is set in the studio where the song was recorded. It mainly features the Young Soul Rebels singing but also has clips of children in poverty, symbolising what War Child charity is for. The coverart for the single also flashes up occasionally, as does the War Child logo.[2]

You know that thread you made about 'songs being ruined for you' or something.

Well, this is it.

Just ruined Pixie Lott for me.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

It's a nice idea, there's a good reason behind it.

But fucking hell, what an awful cover.

[AjcW]

Great idea its hard to criticise people doing something for charity, but here goes .

Its possibly one of the worst covers ever.

Look, for peace in the world im a big supporter

All these kids wanna drink is water

I bet he was up for hours thinking that one up.

But fair play anyway.

Gets the point across.

Its a chairty single aimed at raising money and awareness for the cause. Why the fuck would someone wanna sit there analysing lyrics to find out the aim of the record? Quite frankly they wouldnt, the song does its job, and hopefully it goes to number 1 purely for the cause.

I dont like the song, but jesus, your constant drivel over lyrics n what not is hella boring.

[purpleronnie]

The last thing I wanted to do is bore you.

Nothing wrong with charity records but rubbish lyrics are rubbish lyrics, at least put some effort into your songwriting, pride...no?

Anyway.....

[Samilktray]

Its a horrible song anyway.
