We All Lift Together

Written by accomplished composer Keith Power for the popular video game *Warframe*. Released on July 7th 2018, this song features themes common to work songs.

JD appears to be a big fan of the track, and released an mp3 where he layered his own voice for the chorus as a gift to the Discord community. An official video was also released on TLJ's YouTube channel on 29 March 2020, though due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, only  Andy and JD are featured in the recording.

#### Factoids

The original song debuted at a convention for *Warframe* called Tennocon in Ontario, Canada. *Warframe* developer Digital Extremes announced a content update set on a terraformed colony of Venus called Fortuna. The introduction to Fortuna was accompanied by a video performance of "We All Lift Together", which showcased the colony and its inhabitants as they work beneath the surface. The fictional colony is essentially a debtors' prison, populated by those whose debts to the "Corpus merchant cult" have become too high.
