“When I was 17 years old I sat down in front of my piano and wrote a song about all the nuisance in the world and how we should find solutions rather than excuses. So excited to finally share this song and message with you now.”
About Neiyla
Neiyla is a singer from Linz, Austria. Below is the bio in English from her website. [Source]
“After many years of singing song ideas into my phone and practicing my vocals I became tired of waiting for someone else to make my dream of becoming a singer a reality for me and decided to take things into my own hands. I started organising my own gigs at the age of 16 and as the years have passed, I managed to not only sing in my home country Austria but also to organise shows in London, Berlin, Edinburgh, Italy, and South England. I am happy to look back on past performances at the Brucknerhaus in Linz, at the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, the Hampstead Jazz Club in London, the Marianne Mendt Jazz Festival and as the star guest of the International Youth-Theatre-Award 2019. In September 2020 I finally built the courage to release my debut single Good Thing in the style of Pop/RnB which received airplay on major Austrian radio stations like Hitradio Ö3 as well as other European radio stations and TV appearances on ORF2 and Puls4. As a singer & songwriter I can combine my longstanding passions for songwriting and storytelling. With my positive sound and frank lyrics, I want to encourage young people and especially young women to realize their worth, speak their mind and to fulfill their potentials and goals by taking things into their own hands.” ~ Neiyla

“I recently discovered the ArtList.io music licensing service where numerous artists share their music with license rights available to those who produce videos. Using high quality stock video clips from Videoblocks, I created a music video using the song “Ode” by Christopher Young. Enjoy!” ~ Greg Johnson, Founder of Inspiring Music Videos
This video was first published to YouTube on 9 June 2015. Since that time, it has had 25 million views. The description here is from Wikipedia:
“Renegades” is a song by American rock band X Ambassadors. It was released as the second single from the band’s debut studio album VHS on March 3, 2015. It peaked inside the top ten in ten countries, including France, Germany, Canada and Poland, where it reached number one. In the United States, the song peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. The song was nominated for the “Top Rock Song” award at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. The song was leveraged as a commercial tie-in with the release of the Jeep Renegade. It was delivered very quickly, just a few days after the request was sent in to Interscope Records as the song was nearly complete when Jeep first approached Interscope. It has been the band’s most successful song so far. “We’re trying not to get too caught up in everything,” X Ambassadors vocalist Sam Harris said. “We’re just glad people like [‘Renegades’] and that it’s having a positive effect on them.” The song was also featured in the second season of The Flash.

Lyrics
Run away with me
Lost souls and reverie
Running wild and running free
Two kids, you and me
And I say
Hey, hey hey hey
Living like we’re renegades
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Living like we’re renegades
Renegades, renegades
Long live the pioneers
Rebels and mutineers
Go forth and have no fear
Come close the end is near
And I say hey, hey hey hey
Living like we’re renegades
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Living like we’re renegades
Renegades, renegades
All hail the underdogs
All hail the new kids
All hail the outlaws
Spielberg’s and Kubrick’s
It’s our time to make a move
It’s our time to make amends
It’s our time to break the rules
Let’s begin
And I say hey, hey hey hey
Living like we’re renegades
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Leaving like we’re renegades
Renegades, renegades

On 1 Dec 2016, Norwegian record producer and DJ Alan Walker launched “You Are Not Alone” as what seems to be a Black Bloc Anthem. In two months, the video has had 164 million views which is expected to climb. Walker’s music video “Faded” has had 932 million views, making his cumulative reach for two videos at over 1 billion views. Walkers recent videos show what appear to be people dressed as black bloc activists.
According to Wikipedia:
Most of the video was filmed in Norway, focusing on Walker’s home town Bergen, and included panoramic shots of nearby tourist attractions such as Ulriken and Trolltunga in Odda. Some parts were also filmed at prominent locations in Europe, including London, Paris and Berlin. Some of the footage in the video are submitted by Walker’s fans around the world. (source)
The term Black Bloc originally referred to a form of protest action where participants would dress in black, and cover their faces. The “black bloc movement” is growing to become a global force of anonymous loosely interconnected occupy-like protest sub-groups that can be immediately called upon to unify and organize world-wide protests, marches, events, and direct actions. The global organization includes event organizers, leaders, media content producers, gamers, hacktivists, and people with other skill sets.
