The new single from Gen Verde in favor of concrete and collective action to protect creation.

The intent with which Turn Around, the new single from Gen Verde was born, is to reflect and stimulate concrete action aimed at safeguarding the earth by being inspired by the contemplation of its beauty.
A song that is at the same time prayer and a choral cry, reflection and action and that instills hope and desire for change. From the speech at the UN by the young  Greta Thunberg to the words of Pope Francis in “Laudato Si’”, from astronaut James Buchli to Chiara Lubich… these are the main inspirers of the new song written by Nancy Uelmen that speaks openly about climate problems and asks a change of direction giving voice to the requests of the youngest: “I am very impressed to see these young people trying to do something because their future is at risk; with Gen Verde we asked ourselves what to do and, since we love to express ourselves with music, we thought of a song that shows the beauty of our land, which places the gift we received with Creation at the center of our attention and then protects and guards it together”.
Intense words even more when singing them in the choir are young people from different parts of the world: from the United States of America to India, from Ireland to Nigeria, New Caledonia and many other countries. “It was a strong experience – says Colomba – when, despite the pandemic and the impossibility of physically meeting in a recording studio, we asked many  young people to help us record their contribution to this song. When we ourselves put the various voices together we were deeply moved because this song already carries within itself the renewing force of a group that wants to reverse this negative trend and has experienced it even if at a distance”.
And this time the song, while maintaining a compelling style especially for a young audience, contains within it a real rrayer: “We turn to the”Creator Spirit” (which recalls a bit the “Veni Creator” of the Gregorian Schola) – continues Nancy – because we feel the need for God’s help to have the light to understand how to heal our common home and, above all, to change our hearts… it is a matter of carrying out a conversion that is not only mine or that of some, but of the entire community”.
And of course, as often happens in the texts of Gen Verde, there is an infusion of hope, an ardent belief in the strenght of the commitment of many to safeguard the common good. This song, from the electronic pop genre, maintaining elements of continuity with the latest recording choices of the musical group Gen Verde, in some moments slightly deviates in the sonorities to put the accent on a personal and collective reflection and clearly invite a commitment to save the earth.
A strong commitment and for this reason the new Turn Around video clip will be launched for the first time live during the international meeting The Economy of Francesco, an appointment organized by the Holy Father which brings together, on topical issues, primarily economists and young entrepreneurs, but which also questions all civil society on the present and future of humanity. “We are honored – explains Sally McAllister, manager of Gen Verde – for this great opportunity that is given to us; being present on 21 November within the live world program of Economy of Francesco clearly states how much Gen Verde wishes to spend hands, mind and heart in favor these urgent problems”.
