L​.​O​.​V​.​E. (Featuring David Amram)

about

L.O.V.E. is the long version of a song from our forthcoming children's project which is slated for release in the spring 2023

This song/chant features the beautiful voice and flutes of the great Maestro David Amram who is 92 years young this year, along with Chis Bruce on guitar, Jay Bellerose on drums and yours truly on vocals.

L.O.V.E. was inspired by an On Being conversation between On Being's creator, Krista Tippett and children’s writer, Jason Reynolds.

Jason Reynolds - "Anti-racism is simply the muscle that says that humans are human. That’s it. It’s the one that says, “I love you because you are you.” Period. And if we can figure out how to do that — and it feels so simple. And this is why racism has been the greatest hoax ever played on humans. It’s the greatest hoax ever, because that element of “I love you because you are you” should be the most human thing we know. It should be a natural thing to say, “Look, I love you, because you remind me more of myself than not.”

We hope you enjoy the love poured into this track, may it warm your heart.

I love you 'cause you are you
See myself when I see you
There is no-one just like you
I love you 'cause you are you
