This is a kind of anthem idea for the European Union. For now, it doesn't really have anything. They play Beethoven's Ode To Joy sometimes. Beethoven is pretty good, but it's not exactly stirring stuff. Maybe if people could get behind the European idea with their hearts as well as their brains, things would be less of a mess. Not really interested in starting an argument about Brexit, etc. It avoids political points and focuses on the positives. Just looking for suggestions on the song, which is still a work in progress. https://soundcloud.com/themysteriousbeings/the-same-sun-shines-on-us-all/s-sDV6zThe last verse is supposed to have young people from various countries singing in their language. I'm just filling in until I find them. I don't actually know any Danish beyond the word for beer, so that last one is probably hopelessly mangled. I'd really like to have a whole choir on the last chorus, but that might be asking a bit much THE SAME SUN SHINES ON US ALL (Words & Music by Gavin Sinclair) From the wild northern ocean To the bright southern sea There’s a land that was given To you and to me A dream that was born In the ashes of war It’s a dream that is worth Fighting for In the bright brilliant blue of the skies over Spain Through Scotland’s soft mists and sweet summer rain Over fields where those young men were slain - not in vain The same sun shines on us all From the wild northern ocean To the bright southern sea There’s a land that was given To you and to me A dream that was born In the ashes of war It’s a dream that is worth Fighting for The cathedrals they built, the fields that they tilled Musicians and poets, the souls that they filled Theirs is the spirit that lives in us still The same sun shines on us all From the wild northern ocean To the bright southern sea There’s a land that was given To you and to me A dream that was born In the ashes of war It’s a dream that is worth Fighting for This is our dream, Dies ist unser Traum C’est notre rêve, Dit is onze droom Questo è il nostro sogno, Dette er vores drøm The same sun shines on us all.

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
