Welcome to yourdailyjingle.com! I've had a great time as a graduate student in electrical engineering these past few years, but lately I've been feeling like I was missing some essentials in my life: making music and helping others. With those two things on my mind, along with the hope of paying off my student loans someday, the idea of yourdailyjingle.com was born: I would write and perform a jingle to the fastest bidder, each and every day of 2010. The price depends on the day, starting with $1 on January 1st, $2 on January 2nd, ...., you get the idea. You might be asking, "okay, I get that you're meeting your hopes of writing music and paying down your loans, but how is this helping the world?" To find out, check out the link about it above.
For Laura's birthday, she wanted to gift Invisible Children with a jingle. That's awesome!
Invisible Children is an amazing organization started by 3 San Diego dudes that went over to Africa with a video camera and came back with opened eyes, changed hearts, and a mission: to tell the world of the LRA's capturing and brainwashing of children into soldiers and to help the Ugandans any way they could. Since their beginnings in 2003, their story has been told to millions across the world and has already helped change the history of Uganda, but there's still much to do, including permanently ending the LRA's reign of terror, help millions of displaced refugees back to their homes, and educating the next generation.
If you want to help make Laura's birthday that much more special, please check out Invisible Children, look for ways you can help, and get the word out by telling your friends, family, and people you meet on the bus about IC!
Lyrics
Invisible, Invisible Children
Open your eyes and you will see them
Invisible, Invisible Children
Open your heart and see them
There's a rebel army in Uganda
That no own wants to be a part of
The only way they can recruit is
To attack defenseless villages and capture its kids
In '03 three guys from San Diego
Discovered this injustice and couldn't let it go
They filmed their story for a movie
Hoping that it would move you and move me
They formed Invisible Children to tell the world
And show what we can do to save those boys and girls
So now that you have heard the truth
What are you going to do?
