Feel the aching pound of a mother’s heart,
Taste the salty tears that are shed in darkness,
Give, Be the Sun at the break of dawn

PACI Music Video - Behind the Scenes
After months of preparation and anticipation, the music video for the PACI track was shot on Monday September 29th. Once post production is complete, the music video will be simultaneously released to all
Iranian media internationally. It will also be available on PACI's dedicated channel on Youtube as well as PACI website. This project took over two months to complete and includes an extensive line up of people including the lyricist and composer as well as talented vocalists together with the brilliant production team and a lot of help from volunteers.
It all started last year when suggestions of making a commercial for cancer awareness were discussed amongst the PACI Board. How better to spread the word and the message of awareness but with song and music.
Raha Etemadi presented us with his beautiful lyrics, inspired by meeting Mrs. Sadler and PACI’s mission to bring cancer awareness to the Iranian community. We commissioned Babak Amini, a gifted composer and arranger to work on the melody and arrangement of this track. Erfan wrote his own lyrics for his rap portion, coming from the heart offering comfort to those suffering from Cancer and their loved ones. After numerous meetings and sessions at the recording studio, we decided on the final lineup of vocalists to perform and record the track. No song would be complete without a music video, so we approached one of the most experienced production crews in town, Static Free Films; music video led and directed by Gobi Rahimi.
The 12 hour shoot started at 11am and the whole day went like clockwork. Thanks to a great team working in harmony and coming together to overcome every obstacle in order to make the project a success. The star studded line up of voice talents in order of appearance in the music video/track are:
