Unreleased R.E.M. song to appear as part of new anti-Trump project

The project, called 30 Days, 30 Songs, is very much against Donald Trump's bid to be the US President.

30 Days, 30 Songs is created by writer Dave Eggers and is set to feature "a mix of new material and unheard tracks by many of our greatest independent musical voices, all of whom want a Trump-free America."

There will be one track a day until 8 November, i.e. Election Day - the first is an original composition by Death Cab For Cutie called "Million Dollar Loan".

DCFC's Ben Gibbard says of the song:

"Lyrically, 'Million Dollar Loan' deals with a particularly tone deaf moment in Donald Trump's ascent to the Republican nomination. While campaigning in New Hampshire last year, he attempted to cast himself as a self-made man by claiming he built his fortune with just a 'small loan of a million dollars' from his father. Not only has this statement been proven to be wildly untrue, he was so flippant about it. It truly disgusted me. Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unworthy of the honor and responsibility of being President of the United States of America, and in no way, shape or form represents what this country truly stands for. He is beneath us."

The first week of songs is set to feature, as well as the tune from Death Cab for Cutie, original music from My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James, Aimee Mann, Thao Nguyen, clipping., and Bhi Bhiman.

A "never-before-released live song" from R.E.M. is also scheduled to appear. R.E.M. have already made their thoughts on The Donald very clear.
