Customer Reviews In response to Sthephen Morrison (review below mine...) By buying this single not only do you help the victims of this tragic incident, but you get a chance to listen to a masterful, touching song that not only mourns lives lost but inspires hope. I disagree with your harsh asumption. Oleander has always been about the music, and this is a chance for them to express this song and what it means. Its not a gimic. . . Its a privledge. I'd rather give money directly to charity, thank you. " The proceeds of this single will find their way to charity, an old trick set to get their name on your lips and a warm feeling in your heart. Oleander is a quality band who has, unfortunately, decided to opt for a publicity gimmick with the song "Champion. I gave at the door, thank you. The song itself is weak, and cannot compare to the rest of Oleander's work. It is a hasty, pro bono, sappy, cheesy contrived piece of work. They could do better for charity, surely. If you want to buy this record because you're a die-hard fan, and must have everything Oleander has put out, go for it. If you want to give money to the 9-11 funds, do it yourself. I'm sure your donations are needed and accepted. Don't mix the two, or confuse consumerism with charity. GR8 way to donate money toward the U.S. 9-11 tragedy victims This CD single, Champion, also found on the Unwind CD, is a beautiful song! I bought many of these single CD's to give to friends and family, not only because the song is awesome and meaningful, . . all proceeds go to the NY tragedy victims. What a great way to do your part in support for all of the tragic-stricken victims. Once you listen to Champion, you will most likely get Oleander's latest album, Unwind, unless you already have it. This group is great in concert, in both big and small venues. Once you see them, you will keep going back. . You can see a complete list of all Oleander discography, or go back to the Oleander tabs
