Instant Karma: The Campaign To Save Darfur

Make Some Noise is an international project of Amnesty International, and aims to inspire a new generation to celebrate and stand up for human rights through the works of John Lennon. This Global Music Activism Project will benefit relief work in Darfur, Sudan.

The album hits stores in June, but R.E.M's version of #9 Dream has been released as a single today. (It is quite good, but then again, I am partial to R.E.M.)

So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Yoko says:

"John's music set out to inspire change, and in standing up for human rights, we really can make the world a better place."
