Ooberfuse's "We Will Overcome" amplifies voices of the voiceless in a stirring call for justice

British Filipino band Ooberfuse refuses to be silent. But their new track, “We Will Overcome,” is a rallying cry, a clarion call to action for the scores of vulnerable children whose lives are being torn apart by exploitation and neglect.

A track forged from a deeper understanding of life’s work as a human being, the new joint bears witness to the imperative work of Father Shay Cullen and the People’s Recovery, Empowerment, and Development Assistance Foundation (PREDA) in Olongapo, Philippines. With hauntingly beautiful melodies laced with an unshakable message, Ooberfuse aims to jolt global consciousness into the horrifying reality of an unprecedented rise in child abuse and trafficking fuelled by geopolitical realignment and cuts to international development budgets.

Cherrie Anderson’s emotive vocals cut through the darkness from the beginning of the song, and the message is urgent and heartbreaking. The chorus, sung by boys who have been rescued, resounds like an anthem of defiance: “We will overcome by speaking truth to power.” It promises that their voices will no longer be drowned in indifference.

The track’s instrumentation swells with quiet resilience, electronic elements, and raw human emotion. “Hearing the children sing those words was life-changing,” Hal St John says of the moment they first heard them sing. “My heart was quite literally bursting with joy.” The voices that fear had silenced now swoop as one—a sign of healing and justice. But this song is a musical creation. It’s a movement. It’s a challenge to the world: Will we hear? Will we act?

The implications are dire, coupled with USAID’s budget cuts and the reopening of U.S. bases in the Philippines. Father Shay then stated that we are about to see a tsunami of exploitation of children and that they all need to be rescued/protected, healed, and empowered in the process. Ooberfuse song echoes this rallying cry, piercing that culture of silence that sustains such atrocities.

“We Will Overcome” is a song to stream. It is a message to spread and a cause to support because real change can happen when music meets activism.
