We Want Your Soul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We Want Your Soul is a 2003 breakbeat song by British DJ and producer Adam Freeland; the song made the Top 40 charts in several countries, and resulted in an award-winning music video [1]. It is the first song to which Freeland wrote the lyrics [2], he describes it as being "about the destructive side of consumer culture", and about how commercialism is inescapable.
Rather than being sung, the song's verses are spoken by a speech synthesizer; the song also features a sample of Bill Hicks.
The Target Corporation sought to license We Want Your Soul for use in an advertising campaign [3], which Freeland refused.
