Band Aid 30. Do They Know It's Christmas?


Band Aid is a charity supergroup featuring mainly British and Irish musicians and recording artists. It was founded in 1984 byBob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for anti-poverty efforts in Ethiopia by releasing the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for the Christmas market that year


Band Aid 30 is the 2014 incarnation of the charity supergroup Band Aid. The group was announced on 10 November 2014 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, with Geldof stating that he took the step after the United Nations had contacted him, saying help was urgently needed to prevent the 2014 Ebola crisis in Western Africa spreading throughout the world. As in previous incarnations, the group covered the track "Do They Know It's Christmas?", written in 1984 by Geldof and Ure, this time to raise money towards the Ebola crisis in Western Africa.

                                                 "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

[One Direction:]
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid

[Ed Sheeran:]
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

[Rita Ora:]
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy

[Sam Smith:]
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

[Paloma Faith:]
But say a prayer and pray for the other ones

[Emeli Sandé:]
At Christmas time it's hard but while you’re having fun

[Guy Garvey:]
There’s a world outside your window and it’s a world of dread and fear

[Dan Smith:]
Where a kiss of love can kill you

[Angelique Kidjo:]
Where there’s death in every tear

[Chris Martin:]
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

[Bono:]
Well, tonight we’re reaching out and touching you

[Seal:]
Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa

[Ellie Goulding:]
A song of hope where there’s no hope tonight

[Sinéad O'Connor:]
Why is comfort to be feared, why is to touch to be scared?

[Bono:]
How can they know it’s Christmas time at all?

[One Direction:]
Here’s to you

[Olly Murs:]
Raise a glass to everyone

[Bastille:]
Here’s to them
[Sam Smith:]
And all there is to come
[Rita Ora:]
Can they know it’s Christmas time at all?

[All:]
Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again


Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again

Heal the world
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
