going to NY for a singing group

The premise of this particular session bears a lot of importance to me, and I was happy that the group that turned up to sing felt connected to this premise.

"the forgotten one" is a sad song. a song I wrote as response to a situation of Gilad Shalit, a kidnapped soldier who's been in captivity for over 5 years, with no apparent hope or progress of his release.
Those his name and situation often bears political opinions and associations, I wanted to steer away from that and focus just on his individual situation, and the frustration of most people, though sad, go on with their lives and forget about people that can't be as fortunate.

The idea was to have a group repeat the refrain "we all read and weep, and we all turn the page" like a mantra, to reinforce the message of how many of us are indifferent to other people's suffering.

I wanted to feature the voices of friends and fellow indie artists, and though some were away on MLK weekend, we ended up with a fantastic group of people from different spectrums that contributed wonderful energy and soul, and helped to create a powerful gesture.

Big thanks to Mor Mezrich and his Astoria studio, "Ears and Gears" and to the singers.

here's a video of what this looked like and a sneak peek of how it'll sound!
