Ignorance Is Violence By Sweet Imperfections Is A Thought-Provoking Anthem About Climate Change

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment magazine in the UK“, Sweet Imperfections has released a thought-provoking and hopeful anthem about climate change, Ignorance Is Violence.

Sweet Imperfections

The musical project of singer songwriter Bri Schillings, Sweet Imperfections, brings a sense of healing, wonder and adventure through music. Schillings’ sultry, soulful voice, oozes a richness which creates a sound that she describes as sensual indie rock. With her music finding inspiration from life, adversity, love and nature, Schillings’ seductive and powerful voice will hold you in a warm embrace and take you on a  journey where the heart and the soul meet.

As a response to her childhood feelings of connection and energy between nature and sound, Schillings followed this magnetic pull, exploring a plethora of instruments along the way and unlocking a secret door to a magical world where she felt safe, understood, beautiful, inspired, and where she learned what love was.

I write about things I feel strongly about. Real stories. Real narratives. Songs with spirit in them. Songs with solutions. Songs with questions. I see the power music has to influence and bring attention to current events and create movements.

-Bri Schillings

Ignorance Is Violence

Thought-provoking and hopeful anthem, Ignorance Is Violence, by Sweet Imperfections, was written to inspire change during a road trip in 2021, when Schillings was shocked by the lingering smoke from the devastating wildfires that had ravaged California. She witnessed the effects of our ignorance around the pressing subject of climate change and the violence of our ignorance we were experiencing first hand.

The lyrics, “smoke filled air covering the earth everywhere we go, it feels like the whole world is getting ready to explode,” sets the tone for the inspiring single, as the wailing guitar line cries for help. With a driving beat, the song ebbs and flows, injecting us with hope and determination to make a change.

Hoping to raise awareness of climate change, Schillings urges “Ignorance Is Violence” to inspire individuals and groups to take action to counter the impacts of climate change.

On top of experiencing first hand the hottest summer recorded, breathing smoke from the fires, we felt a weight of frustration and recognized our responsibility to take a stand. We had recently watched Greta Thunberg’s documentary “I am Greta” which inspired us to use a clip from one of her speeches during the outro of the song.

-Bri Schillings

Let “Ignorance is Violence” be the message we need to make a change, for our actions today shape the world of tomorrow.
