“#Occupy” fever is sweeping across the world. As she puts it: “This song is about standin’ up for whatever it is u believe in. for me its music. for a lot of the people in this video its freedom. freedom of equal rights, of religion, of peace or of speech. i went to the protests downtown LA and watched the footage online of similar protests around the world and it inspired me. as an artist navigating your way through the music industry there are so many things standing in your way. time and time again i have had to fight for the things i believe in. when i first moved to new york from toronto i would play guitar and sing in lobbies of record companies, on the streets and in subways. little did i know getting signed was just the beginning. since then i have been pushing for everything from the music i want to make to the artwork on this single to keeping this song on my album. these videos struck a chord with me because the passion i saw resonated with my own. no matter how big or small the cause, passion is passion. i am in no way promoting anarchy or violence. i’m simply in awe of the human spirit and the lengths people will go to stand up for they believe in… stand behind the music.”
