Seattle-produced music video to remember victims of violence

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

On April 17, 2014, the music video of the song “Remembrance Day” will world premiere on YouTube. Its premiere falls between the anniversaries of the Boston Marathon bombings (4/15/2013) and the Virginia Tech shootings (4/16/2007), and the Oklahoma City bombing (4/19/1995) and Columbine (4/20/1999).

April 17th is also a date proposed as a National Survivors Day by the Koshka Foundation (VT shootings) and others.

“Remembrance Day” is a song inspired, in part, by the many attacks on Americans over the years, including the University of Texas Tower shootings, Columbine, Sandy Hook, and the Aurora Theater shootings.

It was also inspired by a personal brush with tragedy. Members of songwriter David Nyro’s family narrowly escaped being caught up in the Boston Marathon bombing. They left the bomb blast area only moments before it happened.

The recording of the song, and the subsequent music video, was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. That campaign exceeded its goal, raising more than $2,000 in 35 days to record the song and produce the music video.

The mission of the music video is to:

  • Honor the victims, first-responders and affected communities
  • Maintain awareness
  • Spark continuing conversation about the related issues of mental health, gun control, bullying, victim support, and more.

Additionally, the video site will include links to relevant nonprofits and ask people to consider supporting these, and other related causes.

The song was recorded at Empty Sea Studios
The video is being produced by Flying Gecko Productions. 
Remembrance Day was written and performed by David Nyro.
