In Hearts Wake release new music video for ‘Worldwide Suicide’
IN HEARTS WAKE have released a brand new music video!
The video for the single, Worldwide Suicide, is the band’s first single in three years. The band who are committed to addressing eco and social injustices have made their most direct and impassioned statement so far. The band have even pledged to plant 1 tree for every 1K views on the video.
Vocalist Jake Taylor says, “We are aware that the Worldwide Suicide video is confronting. We created this not to shock or cause despair but to incite positive action. In the spirit of this, the band has committed to plant 1 tree for every 1K views, restoring part of a vital ecosystem with the hope that every viewer and their descendants will one day enjoy its benefits. – Music is both our art and our platform. I feel we have a responsibility as artists to challenge the status quo. What challenges has the potential to create change. If we can change, then we can evolve.”

The track’s intro section ‘Crisis’ features a sample of Greta Thunberg’s address at the Climate Strike in NYC last year.
“Last year I attended the NYC Climate strike and half a million passionate people showed up led by Greta Thunberg. It was the first time in a while that I felt so much hope for the future. When we gathered at Battery Park I felt inspired to pull out my voice recorder. Greta delivered an incredible speech. Some of the elders around me likened it to the time they heard Martin Luther King deliver his ‘I have a dream’ speech in the 60’s. One week later our track ‘Crisis’ was born.” said Taylor.
He continues, “The Antarctic has reached an all time high temperature of 20.7∞C. The Australian bushfires have burned over 12 million hectares of land, killing over 1 billion animals. The Climate Crisis is pounding on our door and we need to take action while there is still a window to turn it around. It’s time for profound systemic change as individuals and as a community.”
