I support and applaud your efforts @GreenpeaceUK, however this inspirational song is clearly aimed at a generation of people who:
a) have contributed less to the Earth's problems than older people, and
b) are already much more motivated than them to act to preserve our planet.
As a member of the aforementioned older generation I can say that well written music still affects us deeply, however this song in its current form is unlikely to inspire us to do anything other than hit the "next" button as quickly as possible.
This is written not as a dismissal of your work but as exhortation to target any future musical/social media projects at us, the principal culprits, a little more precisely 💌
@@kday6340 'Destroy the nazca lines'? ..They placed a banner beside them. Furthermore, with temperatures rising, people will be unable to visit them anyway. That or forced relocation will result in building upon heritage sites such as the Nazca lines.
Most media about the climate change comes down to "change your ways or things could go bad!"
This captures that existential dread and powerlessness of the situation. I can switch to oat milk and take a bike to work, but the politician and the oil man, to who my money always ends up going, are blowing chunks out of the planet on the daily.
This is so well done and needs to be seen everywhere. But at the same time, how did I go from 30 years ago being amongst the young campaigners to now being in the age bracket of the gorging gluttons who are blamed for the mess. Deeply depressing that we weren't able to stop this shit at the time.
THIS IS AMAZING!! @GreenPeace. It brought tears to my eyes & got ME thinking of what's going on & how people live through it & don't care! The lyrics are really good & touches home a lot! Keep on spreading the message.
Greenpeace fighting the good fight. I’m grateful for all your efforts. 🙏
I love how uncomfortable this is, its really well filmed
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
It’s either you stand for something or fall for anything
Gotta give my all, I’m putting in everything
Common sense ain’t common anymore, you’d think we’re more intelligent
Making an impacts imperative
The latest trends, all irrelevant
Nothings as wild as human nature and I’m in a room full of elephants
God save the planet
But we’re the ones that really need saving
We’re too worried about what we’re generating and not about the next generation
Gotta do it for the family tree
And it’s not too late but Father Time will slow down the clock
and Mother Nature said you’re testing her patience
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
Madness all in the name of power and profit
We don’t need a prophet to warn us the issues now and we’re the problem
Everyone’s wearing a sugar coat
Dressing up the naked truth
But it’s gonna cost us wearing these costumes
Even if the voices feel too loud
Turn up the volume
Let’s be sustainable, we’re so replaceable, climate change isn’t un-changeable
Don’t need a cape to be capable, nobodies superman but this could save us all
This call to arms, who’s gonna make the call?
We’re so divided but we’ve gotta multiply actions
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
Don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
Don’t you look back
Thank you force of words :-) I was wondering what they were when I watched it is too fast
I love the concept. The execution is flawless 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
It really is!!
Anybody know the guy who's doing the Saxaphone solo at the beginning? Be really if you can help & let ME know who that is, LOVE the solo & the saxophonist is really GOOD. I Love the melody & the slow pace it plays, that's when it touches the heart & gets you thinking about how the world is right now!! LET'S GOOOOOO Greenpeace. 💪🏾💯🙌🏽❤️👊🏽
Nice to see Will Poulter in this as well.😁🤙🏽👊🏽
Hotter than the Climate will soon be if we don't stop it! Really love the song, video and the whole concept. Perfectly shows that way too many still think short term, and just think about enjoying themselves and not listen to what has been tried to said (sing in this case) for so many years. Great work! Thanks.
Thinking about what’s happening with climate change makes me want to cry everyday. I predicted that the world will end in about 50 years 30 years ago and I hope I’m wrong. Btw, this is from a 62 year old vegan who cares about the planet, enough that I change what I can. Go Vegan!
Absolutely outstanding. Let's get active!!
Brilliantly executed 👏👏
This is incredible 🤎🤎🤎
Well done guys, I really love it is brilliant keep up the good work :-)
Absolutely brilliant and deeply moving. Things just have to change.....
So powerful and I feel so powerless. Not even the right to protest.
You may not have the right to protest but we do. The government, the police, the establishment are the few, we are the many. We just need a spark ….
A sensational film. They are partying on our graves, if you're reading this and thinking acting, please do! You would still be one of the pioneers. We can still turn this around, there is still hope. Join your local activitist group and make the changes needed a reality.
Said every naive idealistic fool in every period in history. The boomers who are partying were once rebellious youth in the 1960s.
No good agenda comes with a marketing budget and needs to be sold on UA-cam by hiring paid actors to make a video.
Outstanding piece, holding back tears here. Am trying to answer the call to do the Work as best I can. Must try harder. 💚💚💚
Thank you Greenpeace 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Recently joined Greenpeace...and I thank you for your drive and optimism.
Excellent. Great song choice, very well covered and love the video too. Well done.
Love it, and fun to see a friend in this. Best Dad dancing ever xD
I imagined the Tories dancing in Downing Street whilst watching and that made this even more powerful... Well done Greenpeace. Excellent. Now we need to do our bit and share share share!
The exact same image came to my mind, this is exactly what I imagine they were doing while we were all locked down 😑
Loved the content, signed and signe up for ongoing donations. Thank you for your work!
Excellent stuff from Greenpeace, but wouldn't expect any less - keep going
I am watching nature die around me. Little rain for over 13 months. We must all act now in every way we can!
Isn’t Mother London advertising do work for KFC that was classed by Greenpeace “A Bucket full of Rainforest Destruction”, clearly sell out of ethics for a concept.
👎👎👎Wonder why dislike button has been disabled by owner like if they OWN people's opinion
I'm still not sure how the band keeps playing with the sprinklers on without getting electrocuted
We must make them pay, or for the rest of time our epoch will be looked back on as a time humanity we’re beaten by a handful of people.
Make a list of their names.
Loving this video - subtle yet brutal in conveying the West's overconsumption whilst the people in the global South are working under extreme conditions (in the kitchen) to service our insatiable needs. How do we get the rich and privileged to realise that we cannot continue to party on whilst the house is burning down and flooding?
who can say what the code word "Climate Change" actually means in the impolite world?
Are we existing to consume blindly? No, we exist to discover who we are.
best vid ! provocative

Muito bom é importante. Estou aqui encarnado neste Planeta novamente pela última vez. Em Senhor do Bonfim -Bahia Brasil.👼✍️
“..room full of elephants..” 🫰🫰🫰🫰🫰
Nicely done, thanks folks!
Good work guys caring for our world
This is simply fantastic.
The band members were the only sane ones in this gathering.
Excellently done . Great message..
Rocking and beautiful. thank you!
The message at end is beautiful 😍
The shame is that only people already 'engaged' with environmental campaigns will make it through to the message. Everyone else will have turned off long before!
I have some issues, not personal one, god forbid, with the narrative.
Lets take some chunk of lyrics apart,
Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone
All we do is ruminate on the potential outcomes that the morrow might display. The crux of the matter is, it remains a conjecture as actions are absent. Crafting a film to elevate concern can justifiably be considered as an action; I do not refute this. My concern lies in the fact that we are lagging by approximately three decades or so. We experience a societal thermal lag, akin to the climate; the key difference is that the societal fabric, in its ontology, is more swift to adapt to changes or to mutate entirely. Hunter-gatherers, who adopted seasonal hierarchies, can offer us substantial lessons.
it'll soon be here.
Indeed, it will arrive, but I remain skeptical regarding the inclusion of humans.The song persists,
It’s either you stand for something or fall for anything
Gotta give my all, I’m putting in everything
Common sense ain’t common anymore, you’d think we’re more intelligent
This is a deceptive distraction. The majority will not "commit their entirety". I earnestly hope that those who pledge "investing everything" are prepared for vehement resistance. Idealism holds importance, but it borders on a totalitarian utopia when devoid of realism.
God save the planet
But we’re the ones that really need saving
Oh, appealing to contemporary religion is, paradoxically counter-intuitive, according to my sensibilities, unless by 'God' the narrative references a pre-modern 'God'. Furthermore, I concur with the second phrase, "we're the ones who genuinely require salvation". I would argue not from a stance of organismic exceptionalism, as that would lead to an incorrect conclusion. Rather, our disconnection from nature is so profound that a significant cognitive rehabilitation is required. The participatory understanding (knowing), especially.
And it’s not too late but Father Time will slow down the clock
and Mother Nature said you’re testing her patience
Father Time isn't going to decelerate the passage of time. Deception holds no ground here. Nonetheless, I resonate with the veiled 'hope' the narrative endeavored to convey.
Excellent. Thank you 🙏
This is brilliant.
Great video but
Young people already blame the older generation for this mess. 99% of this film just shows the older generation and only at the very end is it made clear that they represent oil companies. But some of us have always fought against this blind ransacking of nature. They blame us but they consume way more than we ever did and they litter it everywhere. I hope they realise the part they are playing.
Now buy the t-shirt!
This is a power message that we all must listen to
So much Money
@greenpeaceuk and Greenpeace international, you should re-launch this film during COP28. I am dismayed that here on UA-cam you only have 120 comments. It should be at least 120k comments! I have worked at COP 26 & 27 and a lot of what goes on behind the scenes is like this film and I even at COP with all the social events, performances, cocktail parties and fringe events put on by the giant corporations from hedge funds to cryptos it felt like a party on the Titanic.
the irony is they wasted a lot of food water and energy making this video
who knows how much traveling in total in most definitely private jets
and..
and..
and..
Amazing song and film! A sad reality...this party needs to stop...TAKE ACTION!!!!
Amazing !❤🔥
The only thing wrong is the personal not enjoying the party to the maximum. What a bunch of prudes. I support gravity batteries.
maravilhoso ❤❤❤
Amazing !! ❤
Good job of the subtitles, couldnt understand it otherwise. Ruined a good song
Very nice concept. The youth must understand that what is going to happen.
The gluttony:((
We are fighting and will keep doing so
slick
Avelino was fire
For my grandchildren and what they will face. Frightening.
Leave your car on the forecourt
Thank you, GreenPeace 🌈
The future is the hands
Wow ...Messages!💪👏
Yepper
WOW!
This is brilliant 🎉🎉🎉
💚
Wow. So powerful. I want my grandchildren to have a world to live in.
Total dross.
Incredible! As a singer songwriter writing constantly about climate change and the future I think this is pure genius....we need more of these!!! This should be seen in cinemas and on commercial breaks on tv.
Powerful and Well done
Just powerful.
sentimental twaddle
Stand up to the fossil industry ? Revoke your many lawsuits and whatnot delaying and disturbing Nuclear Power Plants would be a good start to close other combustion based plants don't you think 🤔
Love this!
So chill. Connect wit me?
This costs millions, who funds it? I cannot pay rent, are the funders of this thing going to help? And for the viewers, reminder that the funders of this want us working gig jobs. Also, the funding of Greenpeace is completely opaque and they say they're funded by "individuals and foundations" ... Just saying.
omg was that my husband will poulter 😳
Cracking tune as well :)
What a mad society
1) This video will not convince anyone to think and act who has not already realised the need to. Working class kids will not be enthused by an extremely middle of the road song set to rich people dancing with whom they have no association. The video is far too middle class oriented. It may help fundraising, but the insipid song and video actually mask the message and most will not make it through to the end.
2) Perhaps Led By Donkeys would have been a better partner for this production?
No thanks!
I didn't like it at all. All the minutes spent showing people drinking and partying could have shown whats really going on with perhaps snippets of people enoying themselves.
Too slow - lacks energy - better off doing a dnb version imho, such a good track been spoiled -
Yeah and then how many people it was trying to reach would have turned straight off? (Don't get me wrong I love my DnB)
Youngers already know this stuff dnbs ours, I think it’s mainly aimed at the olders, plus many remixes are to be expected of releases like this right so we all get what we want
There is another more upbeat remix coming 😉
@@Kholaslittlespot1 no offence don't get me wrong - me likes all music dnb just a suggestion - this a much better cover style imho NeuroticFish doing the Smiths ua-cam.com/video/gFxTuhozdW4/v-deo.html grew up listening to Don't Stop but that track steals the life out of it -
It's clearly a fundraising video that plays on the angst of their middle class armchair donors. It won't put fire in any young rebels' guts. They'll have turned off long before the end message. It's a 'Miss' for me.
Virtue signalling for all the wrong reasons and using Christine McVie's creation to attract an audience? Crass and tasteless. Greenpeace is a disgrace to its founding members.
Greenpeace (52 yrs of campaigning) needs to broaden its tactics to be more relevant in getting more people to become engaged in becoming active in campaigning for a better future. This video is aimed at a wider demographic rather than just appealing to its original members. It's a stated aim of the new co-executive directors to grow the organisation. You obviously don't like it but looking at the overwhelming supporting comments you seem to be out of step with how people view this campaign method.
@@richardbaxter1076 This is a fundraising video, using insipid middle of the road music that happens to have a catchy catchphrase. Who exactly will it attract? A new cohort of socially estranged rebels with fire in their bellies? Or the same middle class supporters who might up their armchair supporting donations. The people leaving such positive comments are the exact people that you would expect to leave positive comments in this forum space. No more, no less. That is the Internet and the Shouting in a bucket blues.
Great video!
