I’m so excited to share this song and lyric video. 🎶🎥
About the song: After attending the Womens’ March in Charlottetown on January 21, 2017, a friend of my family told me I should go write about what we saw. I went home and watched hours of live footage from the Womens’ March in Washington happening the same day. I wrote this song to do my part in the fight for equality. I entered and won the Womens Freedom Song Contest, an international songwriting contest to “find the next female anthem”. I recorded this song on an album with Dennis Ellsworth called, “Everyone Needs To Chill Out.” My mom always said more people should hear this song so I recorded it again, with a different feel. Produced by Colin Buchanan, “Washington” is available on all platforms where music lives. *****
Aidan Searle made this AWESOME lyric video for you! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️👯‍♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
