Family by Donald and Nick O'Conner
Channel: Donald O'Conner
Date: 29/04/2020

The inspiration for this song and video came from being at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and our belief that the family unit is the best way to overcome life's struggles and challenges. Families are experiencing struggle all over the world but even through this, they maintain the strength that family connections bring. It's not limited to just the people we live with. "Family" can mean different things to different people. It can be our classmates, our co-workers, members of our church, our sports teammates, and so on. Our hopes with this song/video are that (1) the "new normal" becomes one that is family first, whatever you consider to be your family, and (2) that you will enjoy the love, joy and positive power from your family to overcome all challenges that this time and future times may bring. Special thanks to my school family at Meeting Street Academy for support of this project.
