Joanne Staples, Sales Director and mother of two wrote and produced this uplifting, emotional and empowering song alongside Film Composer partner, Jon Brooks, during the Covid-19 Coronavirus lockdown.
Initially, the track started as a fun project to ward off watching TV but the concept quickly evolved into much more… a musical message of hope and reassurance for everyone during this difficult time. When they posted it on YouTube and Facebook, their aim was to inspire friends and family; but it is growing in popularity, and currently gaining radio play in the USA and the UK for audiences around the world.

LYRICS ----- Verse 1 ----- Breathe, just keep breathing Just keep going, time to face a new day On we go, coming together In these strange times Alone, scared, fear building inside of all of us Tears, pain, when will this all end?
----- Chorus ----- We’ll fight this together, With love and compassion. Whatever the reason, We’ll win this ghostly war. United we’ll stand tall. Brave people, hear our call. Whatever we’re facing, We’ll win this ghostly war.
----- Verse 2 ----- Breath don’t stop moving. You can do this, the sun will always shine. Hope is in our children, so hold them tight. Love, peace, joy, inside of all of us. Change, forever, nothing will ever be the same.
----- Chorus ----- We’ll fight this together, With love and compassion. Whatever the reason, We’ll win this ghostly war. United we’ll stand tall. Brave people, hear our call. Whatever we’re facing, We’ll win this ghostly war.

Lockdowns due to Coronavirus have kept millions of people in their homes — and social distancing measures meant to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus — have brought clear skies, quiet streets and tranquil shores. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO4NZXJJYz8
These are challenging times for humanity. But for many of Earth's other inhabitants, there's a silver lining.
Many animals that have become habituated to humans especially for food are having a bad time. Would request people moving out incase of emergencies to carry some biscuits / food if possible for these animals and to leave water bowls at the gate.
The lockdowns have however affected not just human beings but the animals on the streets too who find themselves hungry and destitute in these trying times. The video feature's Jon Brooks' relaxing music 'Seventh Heaven'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQxMO6Mt3Jc
