SINGER/SONGWRITER Shirley Callaghan has released a new single called ‘Our Leaders are Sleeping’. The heartfelt and angry song serves as a reminder that if we don’t use our voices against injustice then we risk silence on genocide and the criminals who perpetrate cruel acts on the eternally innocent.
Shirley was inspired to write this track while musing on the question of why the skies over the Ukraine are not closed like they have been elsewhere. If a course of action proves to help one country, then why not employ it in other areas hit by similar conflicts?
Shirley says, “ Every day the news is full of images of death and untold levels of human suffering. The casualty lists rise among the broken ruins of people’s lives.
All this while those in authority fail to act on the basic principles of justice & the right to feel safe.”
The song was produced by Betta Music, Yvonne J Ridgeway, Miles Richards Young and Shirley Callaghan and is available on all streaming services.
