Imagine a world where people actually treat others like human beings. Imagine a world where kindness reigns and anything else is completely unacceptable. Imagine a world where people feel as if they belong. Imagine starting a cycle of humanity – where one heart reaches out to another and so on.
While it’s unfortunate to know that there will never be world peace or that we will never live in a perfect world, we can still sit in reverie for a few minutes and feel as if there is hope.
Me Not You have unveiled a poignant new track, “Imagine That,” that delves into a world where shooters have a backstory – something we all tend to ignore while we’re ironically searching for answers and motives behind all of these tragedies.
“We’ve been in the studio this month working on our debut LP. A few weeks back, right after the Santa Fe school shooting in Texas, we were reading so much about the shooter and caught a really intense bit of inspiration and wrote ‘Imagine That,” shared singer Nikki Taylor.
“It all just sort of appeared that day, and it was pretty magical for us…that ephemeral, elusive feeling that is the reason we make music. After each of these tragedies, we all point fingers, inevitably. But we wrote the song as if writing to the shooter, and to all the shooters, imagining what we would have said to them had we had the chance, before they did the horrible things they did. The sense of powerlessness overwhelms us, so here we fantasize about having the ability to do something, anything.”
All of the proceeds from “Imagine That” (streaming, downloads, etc.) will be donated to March For Our Lives.
