King Oak - Liberation [Official Video]

"Liberation" is the second single from King Oak's sophomore album Awakenings. Inspired by the hopeless plight of the crew of "Lady Be Good", a Liberator bomber that was lost on it's maiden flight in World War 2, and only discovered 15 years later in the heart of the Sahara desert. The crew made a desperate attempt to reach Libya on foot, but they were doomed from the start. 60 years later countless migrants are making the same journey, fleeing poverty and the effects of global warming to find liberation in Europe.
