WATERBOYS VIDEO FOR IRAN: LET THE EARTH BEAR WITNESS

LET THE EARTH BEAR WITNESS - MIKE'S VIDEO FOR IRANIAN PROTESTERS

Mike Scott, his wife Janette and Waterboys' webmaster Ian Barratt have created a
3-minute video titled LET THE EARTH BEAR WITNESS in tribute to the Iranian
protesters. The film shows fantastic images of the uprising in Iran to a
soundtrack of a split-new Waterboys with a lyric by the great Irish poet WB
Yeats. Says Mike: "Let The Earth Bear Witness is inspired by the amazing scenes
of hundreds of thousands of Iranian people standing up for their rights and
freedom. I took the words from two old Yeats poems, in which he was writing
about Irish freedom fighters. But his words apply to any freedom fighters,
anytime, anywhere in the world."

The film is live on youtube now and can be viewed here:

We're working on a version with subtitles in Farsi and this will also be posted
shortly. If you find the film inspiring please pass on or tweet the link to
everyone you know.

LET THE EARTH BEAR WITNESS words by W.B. Yeats

They shall be remembered for ever
They shall be alive for ever
They shall be speaking for ever
The people shall hear them for ever

Let the sea bear witness
Let the wind bear witness
Let the earth bear witness
Let the stars bear witness!
