Save the Earth, Save Each-other - Behind the making of LN-6's "Wake Up"

It's so easy to fall asleep to what's happening in the world. I don't want to watch the news anymore because it's mostly so negative. I do have a desire to help make the world a better place though, so I am trying to learn how to balance my life in a way where I can help, yet not burn myself out.

When recording the vocals for LN-6's song "Wake Up", it sounds as if I myself am asleep. I remember when I shared the song with my sister, she laughed and said she thought the chorus would have more upbeat vocals to "wake up" the world. At first I was surprised that I recorded it the way I did and had to laugh myself. I thought that maybe I should redo the vocals for the chorus but then I realized, I am trying to wake up. I am trying to become a better person in the way I treat others and in the way I treat the Earth. Someone who is not fully awake but aware of the need to wake up would sound on the more tired side, so I decided it was how it should be. Not to mention, sometimes it is easier to softly awaken someone out of their sleep versus shouting at them. It helps someone to wake up "on the right side of the bed", lol.
