Cool It

Raffi’s song “Cool It” is a musical call-to-action on Climate Change, urging the global community to come together to reduce CO2 emissions. It is also a toe-tapping rockabilly tune on global warming—the most pressing issue of the day, and perhaps our lifetimes. Recorded at Vancouver’s Blue Wave studios with top session players, Cool It got backing vocals from chanteuse Laurel Murphy and the staff of David Suzuki Foundation, including Dr. Suzuki himself. It was the theme song for David Suzuki’s 2007 cross-Canada bus tour to inspire action on global warming. With Cool It, Raffi again shows his unique talent for writing about important issues in diverse musical styles, and why he’s among the top songwriters of our time.
