If you’ve ever wanted to be part of a music video, now could be your chance to do just that as Alice Cooper calls on the help of his fans.
Alice Cooper is releasing a new single called “Don’t Give Up” on May 15. The song has been inspired by the hardships and challenges that we are all experiencing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The song began in Detroit, but has since been completed remotely and produced by Bob Ezrin.
This is where you come in. Alice has asked fans to join in and be included in the music video for the upcoming single. Cooper and the other band members are filming their parts separately, and they are asking fans to submit photos of themselves. All you have to do is hold up a sign with one word from the lyrics to the song, take a photo and send it in, and you might just find yourself included in the video.
“This is a way for fans, regular folks who might be at home with free time and no place to go, to do something fun and positive that they’ll remember from this quarantine time instead of just remembering being cooped up,” said Alice.
Here are the lyrics from the song for you to choose from:
Alice Cooper – “DON’T GIVE UP”
Yeah, I know you’re struggling right now
We all are – in different ways
It’s like a new world that we don’t even know
It’s hard to sleep…even harder to dream
But look: you’ve got 7 billion brothers and sisters all in the same boat So don’t panic. Life has a way of surviving and going on and on… We’re not fragile – and we sure don’t break easy!
You know it’s so hard to cope
When you’re just hoping there’s hope…
We’re all hanging on by a thread
We’re all staring at the razor’s edge
But we’re not going to step off the ledge. No!
Our enemy is a cold, indiscriminate monster
It doesn’t care if you’re old or newborn…it exists to kill You and I are nothing to it
It has no heart or soul or conscience.
Do we fear it? Yeah.
Do we cower before it? Hell no.
We’re the blood and guts human race…and we win!
You know that it’s right
So we just gotta fight…
Yeah, we’re all hanging on by a thread We’re all staring at the razor’s edge
But we’re not going to step off the ledge. No!
This is Alice Cooper in Detroit…Let’s keep fighting…Don’t give up!
Once you have chosen your word, and taken the photograph, head over to Alice’s website or any of his social media sites to submit it. Happy snapping!
