“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 honoured to be one
of the two charities chosen to

Winning Songwriter A.J. Gundell
will kick off the first line of
lyrics; other lines from

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.
