How many of you have seen a music video with diabetes in it like this?
…Also It’s kinda catchy.
: )
Very moving and to the point it is catchy as Mikey said. Thanks for reposting.
Thanks for posting, great music and great video.
Still wonder why you haven’t seen any American musicians do something similar. PSAs are nice but cut a single or whole record and donate.
Excellent video, Jim, thanks for posting it. I’m going to send it on to my Women’s Group mailing list.
Not too long ago, someone had posted another video that was a rap about diabetes. I believe it was an American; nothing on this scale, but good also.
Sooo good!!!
I’ve been listening to the song and it sounds good enough to be a theme song that tells what Diabetes is about and how we make the choice to live…It’s a very inspirational song.
Looks like he likes DHF ideas lol
