The wait is over! It took over 250 hours to complete, but it is NOW READY...

The wait is over! It took over 250 hours to complete, but it is NOW READY...

Why is this such a big deal? Let me tell you.

Marc Scibilia's song Hope Anthem has gone ballistic, at least amongst Ron Paul people. Marc Scibilia loves Ron Paul. We had a thought. What if we made a really crazy music video, something so illusionary, something that played with the mind, so that it had the potential to go viral and inform millions about Ron Paul. This is what we have tried to do. The video was shot by Julian Smith, a renowned Nashville filmmaker whose credits include Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi.

Now we don't know if we have succeeded or not, that will be up to you and others to decide. but having just seen it on YouTube, I must say, "I" personally could not believe my eyes... It was one of those "WHAT THE F***" moments.

Marc just hopes that by linking to Ron Paul in the YouTube SideBar, we can hopefully get a great many people to check out Dr Paul after watching the video. We're also very aware that if we put "Ron Paul" in the lyrics like other artists have, it has zero potential to go viral, but this song was written for one purpose only, to encourage and further the revolution.

Maybe its just me, but I was expecting something else besides watching the guy sing and play the guitar. This isn't going to go viral.

RonPaulVolunteer, do you have a copy of the lyrics so we can all sing along to the song?

Maybe its just me, but I was expecting something else besides watching the guy sing and play the guitar. This isn't going to go viral.

But he also played the piano, bass, drum, tambourine, and a second guitar. :p

I like the song, but I was picturing something different for the video. I'm not understanding how this could take 250 hours to make.

edit -- I am retarded. It's the same guy on all the instruments. I'm slow, coffee time.

RonPaulVolunteer, do you have a copy of the lyrics so we can all sing along to the song?

The freedom sound rings past politics and all its empty words
Cant be put down, the broken bell will be heard

Would you listen to a poet or a prophet
Journal all this worlds injustice or try and stop it
Can you feel the com'n change, though hell is here today
Hope is on its way

Quiet on the set, their always acting, keeping posture and poise
Lets bring an end to the tyrants and the good o'l boys

Would you listen to a poet or a prophet
Journal all this worlds injustice or try and stop it
Can you feel a com'n change, though hell is here today
Hope is on its way

You can hear them now, the careless and the callused wake'n up
Those underground, need a save'n some way out of their rut

Would you listen to a poet or a prophet
Journal all this worlds injustice or try and stop it
Can you feel the com'n change, though hell is here today
Hope is on its way

Would you listen to a poet or a prophet
Journal all this worlds injustice or try and stop it
Can you feel the com'n change, though hell is here today
Hope is on its way

lol, that was least of what I expected after all this hype you built around it.

[btwilli1]

I guess I was expecting some images of hope and freedom/liberty maybe Dr. Paul. Soldiers coming home.

It's a cool video, but unless Dr. Paul is in it, I don't think people will understand what message we are trying to send. Obama could pick this up =) say its his anthem.

[mexicanpizza]

Good song, cool video.

But I'm sick and tired of people trying to promote themselves on the back of Ron Paul.

I don't want to diminish your work, as I think the song/video kicks ass.

[btwilli1]

I thought there was a contest? Am I thinking about a different one?

[Onyx]

LOL I didn't notice that it was the same guy on all instruments!!! Wow well done!!! Looks real

[sinjo]

Where's the suspended TV, maybe at an angle for viewing by the guy playing the piano, in the background showing the revolution marching for Dr. Paul in all/some of the different cities/states? Or the revolution banner with marching paraphernalia hanging from the back wall like you just came from the march and wanted to hop on the instruments to jam?

I agree about the lyrics, but with the video - come on, need to see the revolution in action that the subconscious will pick up on for each viewer!

Like others have stated - Great song! Keep up the good work!

My $.02

OH COOL! He has the all of the individual tracks on this website:

So for the musically inclined here ... we can do remixes... AWSOME! We should start a thread for that!

[UtahApocalypse]

I must admit the first time I heard this song I was not impressed at all. But, this cut was very clean and nice. I could imagine hearing this on the radio.

[yongrel]

Awesome! I really like the song and the video.

[paulette]

Great job!

[EvoPro]

nice editing. The song sounds good too.

Glad to see the video, it's SWEET man!

Amazing, amazing ! Just heard about him 5 weeks ago and he puts something like this together. Very enjoyable tune, lots of work, inspirational.

Come Onnnnnnnnnnn.......ONE 'vote for Ron Pau'l sign on the wall in the back??
One 'guy' wearing a RP t-shirt? Just ONE guitar showing a RP bumper sticker? No?

why not???????????????

Because as Ron Paul repeatedly says, this is not his revolution, it's ours! And if we want this on MTV, which is our aim, we're not going to get there with a Ron Paul anything in the shot. The lyrics speak for themselves, they summarize the revolution perfectly. In my opinion.

Yes, I definitely agree. With the numerous references to "Hope" some people might confuse "hope fore America" with "The audacity of hope." I’m sure some subtle references to the freedom movement wouldn’t take away from the quality of the video. Maybe a couple constitutions or here and there, or using "Pennsylvanian Prophet," but at least something.

It was great quality though.

Have you guys gone to the site? There's little doubt we're pushing Ron Paul when the background of the entire site is the Constitution, we talk about Ron Paul everywhere, and we use the r3VOLution logo. Pretty obvious. First you get people's attention, THEN you share your message.

[billyjoeallen]

I hope he can cast six votes for Dr. Paul!

[humanic]

I appreciate the effort very much, though I think THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQpeldFJG_Y)song and video is much better.

"This song was written and performed at CAMELOT CASTLE, ENGLAND. It is dedicated to RON PAUL and is a tribute to the wonderful work that he is doing."

I dont doubt that this is an effort to promote the movement, I am just concernced that because it is vague to anybody that is not a Ron Paul supporter, the song will just be hijacked by the Obamaheads.

I hope you are right though,

If you havent dugg this song yet, remember to do so.

I like Marc's Hope Anthem very much and the video is interesting as well.

I also like A Song for Ron Paul but it is good in a totally different way.

Aimee Allen also has her entry with The Ron Paul Revolution Theme Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cJWbPd1Pyw) which really rocks imo.

Aimee was working on her own video to accompany the song but that effort faded for some reason but her behind the scenes of the ron paul revolution theme song part 1 (http://www.filmulete.webro.info/video-eKHow9TCwBQ-behind+the+scenes+ron+paul+revolution+theme+song+p art+1.html) and part 2 (http://www.filmulete.webro.info/video-k9MDyl8xq9I-behind+the+scenes+ron+paul+revolution+theme+song+p art+2.html) are still available for viewing.

All 3 songs are excellent in their own right and have their own place. I hope the strategy for Marc's song works out the way you think it might and I also wish that what ever blocked Aimee Allen's video could be unblocked.

RPV,

I don't know anything about the music industry but your venture looks interesting.

Do the Labels really attempt to control artist's creative and personal lives as you are implying? Sounds like that calls for a revolution in it's own right by the creative people. If you have any links to anything written about this I would appreciate it.

I must say I was really stunned when Aimee's support just evaporated as I felt that Aimee was in the process of bringing some support, in a very professional way, from the artistic and creative sphere of the body politic.

Maintenance on Youtube right now, so can't add and comment, but I love it. :)

Marc makes me imagine a Bob and Jakob Dylan morphed together at the same time in their separate lives- a sort of harmony in tradtional and modern views with the same objective, same blood in their veins, and the same voice shouting from within-- HOPE, PEACE AND TRUTH!. :)
