TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA - March 30, 2007 - The song that will pull
its lyrics from people around the world called “Oceans of Love – The
Song the World Wrote,” is already capturing the hearts of many, even
before the second line is written. The official contest site -
songtheworldwrote.com - where anyone can submit lyric possibilities
for this amazing song launches on April 9, 2007.
Once this unique songwriting contest begins, people from around the
world will begin submitting their song lyric entries. This is not
just any song; it is an effort to bring people together in harmony and
peace through song while helping fight cancer around the world.
Lucy DeLima-Wilson and her son, Johnny DeLima, have dreamed for many
years of one day bringing people from around the world together in
perfect harmony to spread cheer and goodwill to others. They are now
realizing this dream through an amazing effort to write a song that
contains lines from folks around the world.
“This is a very inspirational project, as music is a great way to tell
a story and help find a cure. Cancer affects too many people and
hopefully, the proceeds from this song will help in finding a cure. I
look forward to hearing the finished song,” says Shane Bourbonnais,
President of Live Nation in Canada.
“Oceans of Love – The Song the World Wrote” will consist of lines
entered by contestants each week for 24 consecutive weeks. Once the
contest officially begins on Monday, April 9, 2007, line entries will
be made online at the songtheworldwrote.com Web site. Visitors to the
Web site will vote each weekend to determine which line will be added
to the song Monday morning. The world can watch online as this
amazing song comes together.
Lucy DeLima-Wilson states, “This will be the first time a songwriting
effort of this magnitude has ever been attempted. Guinness Records is
currently reviewing our preliminary application.”
The BC Cancer Foundation (http://www.bccancerfoundation.com) is the
grateful recipient of a percentage of the net proceeds from the
contestants’ entry fees through the end of the contest, along with
another international cancer research organization (to be determined).
“Oceans of Love - The Song the World Wrote” will help the many
thousands of people around the world who are affected by cancer every
day. The BC Cancer Foundation is honored to be one of the two
charities chosen to deliver this message of hope,” states Nicholas
Locke, Senior Vice President, Development, BC Cancer Foundation.
Emmy Award Winning Songwriter A.J. Gundell will kick off the first
line of lyrics; other lines from contestants will follow. Gundell
also titled the song. The theme of the song is love, peace and paying
it forward. The second phase of the contest will be writing the
music, with the final goal of having it recorded by an international
recording artist.
