We had an INCREDIBLE last day of the year, a totally UNIQUE experience. My friends Rory and Janneke Williamson, my wife Charlie and I had the pleasure of cooking a “laplap with the locals of a small village in Melemaat, Port Villa here in Vanuatu. They invited us in their village after a few days of getting to know them as they work at where we are staying. I am amazed at how warm and welcoming the people are here. They have no materials that we westerners consider comfortable yet they welcomed US into THEIR village with open arms! We are forever in debt to their wonderful hospitality. But its just like that here.. Everywhere you roam people are celebrating, they are smiling and happy and most have not much of anything tangible but an abundance of everything thats important. Community is King. Family is everything. There is no TV, No Facebook, No instagram.. etc.. Most people don’t read the news, they live for their community and look after one another. The bonus with travelling with two mates who own a production company, they have a camera on them at all times. They have a production company called WW productions. WW-productions Today i played this new song for some of the people in the local community. I wrote this song on Christmas Eve on a small island in Vanuatu. Here i am performing it in the village on NEW YEAR EVE 2014. I call it “The People of PEACE, (the New Year anthem for 2015.)” PEOPLE OF PEACE. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015. pardon me sir look what we’re doing to the earth there’s no time to waste cause it’s getting worse I may be just a man but ive got a voice and all we’ve done is made an uneducated choice in this voyeristic age of mass communication we need to start communicating and wake the population cause everywhere we turn they tell you good news doesn’t sell they condemn our Love, pollute us with their hell we can stop the killing, stop the fighting stop the war on everything We are people of peace cause fighting against something only leads to defeat we are people of peace we can heal the world today in what we do and what we say Every generation man is born anew their new aspirations gives rise to the truth Be like water, be the light you know you are be the earth, be the fire be whoever you are let us come together, let there be no territories we are one government, one religion, we are one we are free, if we.. stop the killing stop the fighting lets stop the war on everything people of peace it’s in our nature not to walk around asleep we can stop the killing stop the fighting stop the war on everything We are people of peace cause fighting against something only leads to defeat we are people of peace we can HEAL the world today it’s in what we do and what we say They are fracking up the earth spraying cancer on our foods Another black man strung out on white mans sugar and booze 100 million people living out on the street while they torture the animal inject poison in their meat Another keyboard troll abusing anyone they can how do their words of hate differ from those of the taliban? just hold your children close and turn off your mad machines be in this moment look within and you will see we can, stop the killing stop the fighting lets stop the war on everything people of peace fighting against something only leads to defeat we are people of peace we can HEAL the world today it’s in what we do and what we say
