    I started an online songwriting group called The Writing Tank, and wrote this song in a few live online sessions with over 80+ participants from around the world. With musical contributions from professional musicians made up friends and colleagues, vocals performed by members of the Writing Tank, and an open invitation to people all across the globe to send me video clips of them dancing in their living rooms, the culmination is a feel-good video highlighting the "silver lining" of quarantine: connection.

    Described as a "lightning bolt of positivity," this song and video is a timely reminder of the unity, strength, and power of music and dance as a universal language.

    The song is available now on all streaming platforms, with 100% of the streaming revenue being donated to two amazing organizations: MusiCares (supporting musicians like me affected by COVID-19) and Crossroads Antiracism (dedicated to inclusion and equality, and striving to dismantle racism).

    Want to support independent music and help me create more projects like this? I humbly accept donations!

    Absolutely brilliant all the way around, Derik and everyone involved! From concept to creation and on through execution it is an amazing project that wound up with a wonderful song. It's the reminder we need right now that we all have a lot more in common than we have in opposition. Blessings to you all and thank you for the love that is shown here. Peace.

    congratulations guys! it turned out very cool!
    I also wanted to ask! Does Tim have Ukrainian roots? his surname "Kobza" sounds very Ukrainian!
    The kobza (Ukrainian: кобза), also called bandurka (Ukrainian: бандурка) is a Ukrainian folk music instrument of the lute family (Hornbostel-Sachs classification number 321.321-5+6), a relative of the Central European mandora.

    • @DerikNelson
      @DerikNelson  4 года назад +3

      Yes Dee!!! Great eye, his surname "Kobza" is indeed based on the Ukrainian instrument!
