        <description><![CDATA[<p>Under covid lockdown I was invited to join an independent movie project. It was an attempt to remake the 1980's movie "Date With An Angel". The creator brought about 25 of us together from all around the country to read for different lines and to add to the creative effort. I was brought on as a songwriter to contribute music specifically the song for the credits.</p><p>I asked him about what themes he wanted and he mentioned the power of the decisions we make. How they alter our lives sometimes permanently. The project wasn't able to secure funding and it fell apart a few months later. However, the melody that came to me stirred me. I wanted to see it come to life.</p><p>Under Covid lockdown we received government payments to help with the expenses of everyday life. I used one of those check to hire talent, create my own small group of creators, and bring a Director on from London, the Soweto Gospel choir from South Africa, a Palestinian Camerawoman based in New Hampshire, and an editor from the Philippines.</p><p>Although the song has been created and released I am curious to know what is thought of the lyrics, the music, and the video.</p><p>I appreciate your time and consideration.</p><p>Lyrics: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gRoYrBscfFoqpxAbBKpbjmNrvfxPnomL/view?ths=true" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gRoYrBscfFoqpxAbBKpbjmNrvfxPnomL/view?ths=true</a></p><p>Music: <a href="https://youtu.be/EwkNTuVv6W0" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">https://youtu.be/EwkNTuVv6W0</a></p><p>Music Video: <a href="https://youtu.be/d2DV7RdUy1k" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">https://youtu.be/d2DV7RdUy1k</a></p>]]>
