91大黄鸭 couple Jim and Kim Rhindress put out an ask for selfies from health care workers to include in a music video.
Now, the song and video are finished.
Titled 鈥淗ealth Care Heroes鈥, the song was recorded in 91大黄鸭 and Vernon鈥檚 Silk Road Studio created the video using footage of the couple and the hundreds of selfies of health care workers.
The song came about after one of Jim鈥檚 friends asked online if anyone would sing a tribute song for frontline workers. Kim said they were very proud of what they did and hope the song resonates with other people as well.
The couple said they were overwhelmed by the response they received when they first asked for photos.
鈥淧hotos poured in from all over the world as far away as Berlin, Toronto, Boston and Nunavut. It has really struck a chord with so many people who feel helpless right now and want to honour those on the frontlines fighting this disease,鈥 they said.
Kim said they received more photos than they could use in the video and are currently still receiving more, so they created a Facebook group called where people can continue to post photos of their personal heroes.
The Rhindresses said they don鈥檛 have an upcoming project planned quite yet, but they know they want to work on another song to thank frontline workers.
鈥淚nspiration comes in different ways, and I know we certainly have the time right now,鈥 Kim said.
鈥淗aving worked as a surgical nurse at KGH for 17 years, I still hear from a lot of my friends about what鈥檚 going on at the hospital and how hard it can be. So we want to continue to give back,鈥 Jim said.
If you know others who are giving back and helping those in need during this critical time, send us an email and let us know!
