Dominican Artiste Andesse Thomas also known as (Dessie) recently released a powerful song titled “Together We’ll Stand”. The song surrounds the Covid19 pandemic and specifically honors the heroes who are fighting at the front line during this time.

The song was released in the form of a music video on July 18th 2020, through her YouTube Channel “OndisBeauty.”  The song which she describes as “a song for everyone” was produced by Dylan Lowe “ProducerDLo” and filmed by Mitchel Davis “Pacer800”.

“It was different, the way the idea of the song came about.  I felt it would be different emotionally from any other song I had ever written and that there was a need for me to complete this idea.  There was a line that I randomly began singing on the first night that it was announced that there were no more known active covid19 cases in Dominica.  I was relieved at the announcement, however I hoped and still hope that we continue to take the necessary precautions to prevent another episode.  I began thinking about the millions of front line workers around the world who have been and still are putting their own safety at risk to serve and help the public.

The Doctor, Fireman and mother in the video were used as representations of the heroes in this time.  The video could never feature all the heroes as there are too many, however, the “Thank You” goes out to every single hero. Musician Mekhel Lee was quick to grab the concept of the song and got out his guitar and played along while I introduced the main melody and idea of the song to him through a telephone conversation on the same night I got the idea.”

The song has been seen as a ray of sunlight amidst trying times and the Dominican community has been extremely supportive from the very first minute the song was released.“I thank God for the inspiration for the song, I thank my hard working team for their skills and patience and I thank the heroes for their strength.”
