“The Constitution is worth saving, the rule of law is worth saving,
democracy is worth saving, but these things can and will be lost if everyone
waits around for someone else.”—Timothy D. Snyder
We are living in dangerous times — politically and socially — and part of what makes them so dangerous is so many Americans are still unaware or unwilling to learn context and patterns from history. I wrote DREAM, and co-created the video, because I believe that music and visuals can offer a succinct and powerful way of underscoring what is happening in America and the world. At just 4 minutes in length, DREAM is not a podcast, not an editorial, it is but a song with or without a video. But, we know how powerfully images and music can resonate. Sometimes we can make a difference. I created and offer DREAM with this in mind. Thank you. — Joel Phillip Friedman (composer/lyricist). Special thanks for the talents of Alex Gallows (voice) and Scott Thureen (video).
