Rostam addresses global warming in new song 'These Kids We Knew'.

Inspired by the fight against climate change, Rostam has shared a new song, 'These Kids We Knew' - written while he was recovering from COVID-19 last March "in a fever-dream state".

About the song, Rostam says: "I was thinking of three generations while I was writing this song. There’s a generation of adults who don’t see global warming as their problem because they think they won’t be impacted by it. Then there’s a generation younger than mine, who will certainly have to deal with what is happening. In the song I have a fantasy of the younger generation arresting the adults and putting them on trial in the streets of cities around the world. Those are the 'sidewalk courts' that I sing about in the song."
