This song was inspired by wanting to teach my sons that it is ok for a man to feel emotions deeply and to cry. Like many men, I was raised to believe that we have to be “tough” and not show our vulnerability, which I don’t want to teach them. While I was shut in during the pandemic and watching the death of George Floyd, the ongoing slaughter of Black men and women, the protests and the events that unfolded, I became very connected to the wider universal feeling of hopelessness. Like many, I grew increasingly frustrated by how slow things have been to change. I became very depressed thinking about all the sons who have lost their fathers to police brutality, social injustice and violence; the daughters and mothers too. So I returned to this song and realized it was intended for this time, so I finished it and here it is. -UR

Good day everyone. I want to say that I use the tiktok platform every day. And recently I came up with the idea to create a collection of Tiktok videos on one topic. Of course, I needed a tool to download videos from tiktok. I found a resource to download tiktok videos quickly and for free. This resource has been very helpful to me. I advise you to try.
