World on Fire

Sarah McLachlan’s poignant song and powerful video for ‘World on Fire’ made an artistic statement and benefited the less-fortunate.

Sarah took the production costs for her video and donated them to worthy causes all around the world, choosing to simply play her guitar and utilize her time on air to showcase how the production money could be spent on charity instead of on a music video.
In all, the video donated $148,270, that would have otherwise been spent on the video’s production, to causes like Comic Relief, CARE USA, Film Aid, and Heifer International.

No matter what you think of her music, the message is still very sobering stuff.
"The more we take, the less we become."
