New Song from Swedish Group 'Yellow Express' Entitled "Keep the Freedom for the (HK) People" (Song Against Article 23) (Photos and Download)
(Clearwisdom.net) The Swedish group 'Yellow Express' has just released a new
song entitled "Keep the Freedom for the (HK) people (Song Against Article 23)."
A reporter from Clearharmony interviewed Yellow Express's producer and
songwriter Mr. Anders Ericksson. Reporter: Hi Anders. Reporter: Recently you wrote a song called "Keep the Freedom for the (HK)
people (Song Against Article 23)." Would you please tell us why you wrote this
song? Anders: I intended to write a song, but failed to come up with a good
subject. When I found out about the objective and the content of Hong Kong's
Article 23 legislation, I could not help worrying about the freedom and human
rights of Hong Kong residents. Since I didn't want to see China extends its
human rights abuses to Hong Kong, I wanted to use this song to express my wish
-- get rid of Article 23. Reporter: What kind of consequences may Hong Kong's Article 23
legislation bring to its residents? Anders: It will result in a series of vicious consequences, such as the
restriction of the freedom of speech, belief, human rights, etc. Just like the
Chinese regime, the Hong Kong government may use this Article to oppress its
residents, and my friends in Hong Kong may also be persecuted. I know that
[Article 23] is to oppress Falun Gong and other organizations, which are banned
in China. Freedom of belief is a basic human right. I know how Falun Gong
practitioners and Christians are being persecuted in China. They have undergone
extremely cruel torture and killing. Reporter: How much time did it take you to write this song? Anders: It can take me a lot of time to write a song. In addition, I need
some time to polish it, especially the lyrics. However, it took me only several
hours in two or three days to write this song. Perhaps it was because I sensed
the urgency and seriousness of this issue. Reporter: Please introduce us to your new song "Keep the Freedom for the
(HK) people (Song Against Article 23)." Anders: This song was created from my heart. Its purpose is to urge
people to stand up for their freedom and human rights in Hong Kong and Macao,
and oppose the legislation of Article 23 of Hong Kong's basic law. Reporter: Can we listen to this song now? Anders: Go ahead, please. Lyrics: Keep the Freedom for the people (Song Against Article 23) A dangerous legislation, Article 23. Let's all speak out, and stop it now. Chorus: This law is not for the people, it's a law for the state. Chorus: The world must speak out, when there's something wrong. Chorus:
Anders: Hi.

It could ruin a nation; and it could affect both you and me.
Don't let Chinese leaders put pressure on Hong Kong and Macao.
Oh, keep the freedom for the people.
Oh, let's stand up for human rights.
We'll make that icy northerly wind,
Turn into a summer breeze somehow.
Like in Mainland China. We cannot just stand here and wait.
Don't let the police, do as they please.
Don't let the government suppress freedom of belief.
Oh, keep the freedom for the people.
Oh, let's stand up for human rights.
We'll make that icy northerly wind,
Turn into a summer breeze somehow.
What scares dictators is when people know what's going on.
Put the light on Hong Kong. Put the light on Macao.
Put the light on Article 23 and stop it now!
Oh, keep the freedom for the people.
Oh, let's stand up for human rights.
We'll make that icy northerly wind,
Turn into a summer breeze somehow.
