Dave Grohl is always one to stand up for a good cause and speak out on the issues that probe humanity, using good old-fashioned rock and roll as his platform for preaching.
Keeping the giving spirit of the festive season alive, the UK’s Sweet Charity Choir, have covered the Foo Fighters track ‘Come Alive’ in honour of suicide prevention and awareness within the music industry. Initially appearing on the band’s 2007 album Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, the choir give the track a harmonically rich vocal spin that’s sure to send shivers down your spine.
Watch the moving rendition below:
To heighten the message of the track, the video reads the message:
“Every year we lose incredible artists in the music industry to suicide. Over 50% of roadies or other music industry professionals have attempted or considered suicide, and most of them have not sought help. We at Sweet Charity Choir feel that singing can provide light in dark times, and being part of a musical community can change your life.
We want to raise awareness of music support; a charity in the U.K. run by volunteers within the music industry who provide a confidential help line for anyone in the music profession who needs help. This is our way of saying thanks to music support in the U.K. but also to the hundreds of other crisis charities across the world, and their thousands of volunteers.
We also thank the Foo Fighters for creating this incredible song that moved us to try and do something.”
Quick to praise those who use their music for good, the band took to Facebook to support the cause, reposting the video to their millions of adoring fans.
Aren’t they the sweetest?
