- ‘Music Can Change the World’ is an anthem song for the world that invites you to remix, record, cover or sing and dance, and upload to YouTube TikTok Insta Facebook #musicconnectsus #musicforthesoul #musiccanchangetheworld #peaceandlove #artistsforpeace #makemusicnotwar #remixchallenge #artistsforartists #musicalunity #jointhejam #musicsaveslives #musicforhealing #tresonmargaretmaria #musicforharmony #singersongwriter We can make it happen, ‘if we dance and sing together, one voice in unity, our voices together’.
Emotive Soul/Reggae singer Tréson has paired up with the extraordinary post-classical composer, producer and cellist Margaret Maria, to create a pop song that they dream will travel around the world.
The new music that is Margaret Maria and Tréson is as unique as the artists themselves. The classical world is colliding with the genres of funk, soul and pop, with a fresh new sound and a musical playgroud for Margaret Maria's creativity and Tréson's songwriting and vocal talents.
Margaret Maria states, ‘As artists, we have the duty to raise our voices in support of peace and love and humanity around the world. This song was created from love, and a deep love of the world and all the creatures that inhabit it. Our hearts want to share it with you, for you too: cover it, sing or dance to it, remix it and make a music video to post it up on Youtube with #musicconnectsus #musicforthesoul #musiccanchangetheworld #peaceandlove #artistsforpeace #makemusicnotwar #remixchallenge #artistsforartists #musicalunity #jointhejam #musicsaveslives #musicforhealing #tresonmargaretmaria #musicforharmony #singersongwriter

Tréson adds, ‘No matter how you express it, we want your contribution. Even if it’s singing the bridge and chorus while strumming your guitar, we want your voices to join us. Music saves lives, and it is my mission to send that message to those who are being raised or helped by music. You are not alone in this.’
Both artists have been saved by music time and time again and believe that music can change the world we live in. Margaret Maria puts this in practice as the co-founder and conductor of the social change through music program in Ottawa called OrKidstra https://orkidstra.ca/ and Tréson uses his platform as one of the lead singers of The Human Rights reggae band to share his message of unity and peace and that ‘music is the only solution, to what is really going on’ - (lyrics from song ‘Music Like Food’ - album Reggae Strong by The Human Rights) https://thehumanrights.bandcamp.com/album/reggae-strong
Music Can Change the World - lyrics
Can you hear it?
Can you feel the rhythm?
Can you feel it?
If you listen with your heart:
I hear the singing, sounds of the singing
A melody
In harmony,
I hear the singing
Music can change the world,
If we dance and sing together
One voice
In unity
Our voices together
Music can change the world, music can change the world
Every time we sing together
Our hearts in harmony
We need music, like a flower the sun
We need music, like the guitar a strum
And there’ll be peace and love, around, the world
And there’ll be peace and love, around the world, the world the world (2x)
And there’ll be peace and love, around, the world
And there’ll be peace and love, around the world, the world the world
Music can change the world
Music can change the world
Music can change the world
Music can change the world
