Not Calming Down

Will you work with Simeon to help change the lives of some of the world’s poorest people living with disabilities in Niger, West Africa?

The song “Not Calming Down” developed as Simeon realised a need for change... change in him... change in us.

He states, "Too often we become insensitive to the needs of other people. We can see the pictures of desperation, we can hear the stories of hopelessness, we can know the statistics of poverty; but so easily the faces can become disconnected from the reality that they belong to real people like you or me. We can talk about the struggles faced by so many but do nothing, or very little to help.

“Not Calming Down” is about practical action. It’s about frustration with self - I’m sick of thinking that life is about living for me! I must act in response to what I see.

As a band, we know we can’t just sing and talk about this problem – that would be hypocritical – we need to be active with our time and money. As a result, we approached CBM about getting involved in their work in Niger, West Africa."

The result: “Not Calming Down 4 Niger” - a project that aims to raise awareness of the needs in Niger and $50,000 for the work of CBM there.

The CD (EP) contains the songs, “Not Calming Down” and “All Remains Is Love” from the album, “Then We Collide” and two previously unreleased acoustic versions of “I Hear Your Voice” and “Wings of Change”. There is also a multimedia component – a clip with footage from Niger (West Africa) set to the song, “Not Calming Down”. View a web quality version now on YouTube!

1,000 copies of this CD have been pressed to be sold at $10 each with the full $10 being donated to the work of CBM in Niger. It contains a great booklet with lyrics, information about Niger and the work of CBM.

Buy it for yourself. Buy it as a gift. Beyond the great music, just buying this CD will make a difference!
