Into Space Final by They're From Canada

Winning submission to The World We Want Contest. More details here: https://creativelyunited.org/world-we... Judges Summary: Wonderful, creative collaboration by four children with a call to ‘fix it’. Impressive text to supplement the stories in the video, however, more emphasis on problems vs the World We Want solutions. Submission Summary: My band, They’re From Canada, is a group of four kids in grades 4-6 from my home learning group. We like to write songs together. Even though most of us don’t take music lessons, we try to use the instruments available to us to create melody. I take violin lessons, so I know a little bit about music theory, and I used Garage Band that to put the music together. This song is called Into Space and we wrote it after seeing the Creatively United contest information. We thought about all the problems in the world and trying to come up with solutions felt overwhelming, but working together to make music about our feelings made us feel empowered to face the problems. There is a lot of bad stuff that exists, and we can’t run away from it. But when we face it together, it feels more manageable. Project Explanation: The Creatively United website states, “Creatives can explore and express both problems and solutions in ways that enhance collective consciousness and participation.” That’s what my friends and I did with this music video. We worked together to explore feelings about unjust and closed-minded leadership through lyrics, melody, and visuals. The chorus “the world’s going crazy, I just gotta get away” reflects how overwhelming it feels to be kids growing up in the current political climate. The space background reflects the line “buy a ticket into space.” Sometimes it feels like it would be easier to run away from the problems we see. At the end, the lyrics “since that’s not realistic, I’ll try to be optimistic, I hope this isn’t apocalyptic, I’ll try to fix this,” shows that working out our feelings together through music helped us feel more hopeful about the future. We can’t completely fix the world’s problems, but we can’t hide behind escapism, we can face the world as it is and do our best to make it better together. It’s interesting how expressing feelings and escaping into art and working on art together can actually make us feel more empowered to face the challenges of the real world. How The Project Supports Others: As an autistic person I have a strong sense of justice. And as a twelve-year-old kid, I don’t have a lot of agency to make big changes in the injustice I see in the world. I hope that other kids with strong senses of justice can be inspired to find ways to express themselves like I did in this video. For people like me, it can be hard for them not to feel discouraged. I hope that seeing my video helps them know they’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. I hope other kids see this video and see that they can cope with their feelings by expressing them through music and that they can find other kids to work together with who feel the same way.
