Charity Song of the Month:

SUZIE McNEIL, “AlOne,” 2014

Pop singer Suzie McNeil — whose recording career was launched on the TV reality show Rock Star: INXS and has four studio albums to her name — has released a charity single benefitting World Vision and the family of the Late Steve Klodt, who co-wrote the ballad with her. He passed away in 2012. Although there is no mention on iTunes that “AlOne” is for charity, McNeil tells Samaritanmag the proceeds will be split between the two causes. McNeil was inspired to write the song after a 2009 trip with World Vision to Zambia. “Everyone is everyone…You are not alone / We are all one,” she sings. Buy it here. — K.B.

Cause Song of the Month:

NEVEREST, “Immortalized,” 2014

Pop band Neverest is offering a free download of “Immortalized” — co-written with motivational speaker Spencer West — the official anthem for Free The Children’s We Make Change Tour. The Toronto act, which has toured with Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block, is appearing on various We Day dates, the arena-sized gathering for school kids about making a difference. “[The lyrics] encourage kids to not be afraid to take those risks in life that can not only create opportunity, but create positive change for themselves and others, much like We Day's slogan, ‘Be the Change,’” Neverest bassist Paul Loduca tells Samaritanmag. Download the song here. — K.B.

As Told To Samaritanmag:

"We started to raise money and to define what we wanted to accomplish — to help young people dealing with various teenage problems, facing illness — cancer is close to our hearts—and to promote the use of music to help them find a passion in life. Every year since then it’s been growing, more than we ever expected and the reaction has been amazingly positive." — Simple Plan drummer Chuck Comeau tells Samaritanmag's Liisa Ladouceur, in 2013, about the Simple Plan Foundation.
