Up On the Roof

When this old world starts getting you down, as it has for many people since the beginning of the pandemic, maybe you should listen to some wonderful music sung by great kids. Katherine Morris was feeling pretty low when the pandemic isolated everyone, on top of political grievance, economic woes, mass shootings, and climate change. She was already concerned with the rising suicide rate among young people. All that collided with personal setbacks when Morris' barn burned down. So she thought of her favorite "feelgood" song, and a campaign took off that culminated in the above video. It involved Morris, producer Richard Kaufman, Carole King, May Pang, and a bunch of talented young people across the country. Proceeds from the sale of the song will go to the organization Find Your Anchor for suicide prevention, awareness, and education. If you like this video, sent it to someone who could use a lift. -via Metafilter
