The video for final version of this track can be seen here:

...and is featured on the Cease Silence charity album for Palestine:

The excellent Andrew Huang (andrewhuang.bandcamp.com) invited submissions of tracks incorporating the chord C major with 9, 13 and a sharp 11 with no 7 (C, E, G, D, F#, A) in this here video:
youtu.be/zbu1wnkTJjY

I decided on a three-time song which begins with C major for the first beat, Dm for the second and then both together for the third, and subsequent chords following the same pattern... and this is what I ended up with. A racket... but a *fun* racket.

It's appropriate that this won't be the final version of this track about change.

lyrics

It's OK to be not OK
You're not wrong if the world is wrong
If you feel you don't feel things are right
That's how we know to change
How we are change

Don't be scared of being afraid
When you're lonely you're not alone
If no-one's listening don't be unheard
That's how we know to question, and
How we are change
