This song is a lovely combination of alternative rock and folk, all for the love of sending out a message that should be ingrained in everyone’s minds in this time and day. “Business As Usual” is all about a significant topic turned into an anthem, a mantra for people to be inspired to take a stance on.

To put it simply, “Business As Usual” stresses hypocrisy by simply stating facts, as well as what really is at stake with the wars we hear on the news. Singing “You’re in the business of war” is like draining out all humanity from all the decisions made and from everyone involved in these conflicts. It’s selfish, self-serving; in this context, “you’re in the business of God” doesn’t even sound right anymore.
From unmistakable rock segments to gentle and devastating line deliveries, “Business As Usual” is capable of touching minds and hearts in order to realize the depth and magnitude of the global crises we experience today. Every cent and penny made by this song will directly go to Gaza relief operations and organizations.
