We'll Be Free
2020 Saskatchewan musical response
On April 1, 2020, Saskatoon singer/songwriters LYN BESSE McGINNIS and TERRY HOKNES decided to try a Bernie Taupin/Elton John style of songwriting online.
Feeling the isolation of living through the COVID-19 Global Pandemic and seeing the effects around the world, Lyn wrote lyrics about getting through these times and coming out on the other side.
Lyn sent the lyrics (below) to Terry on April 2, 2020. Overnight (literally), Terry composed the music and made a demo. On April 3, 2020 Terry said “Hey, why don’t we do a 'We Are the World' style of recording?” And We’ll Be Free - The Isolation Project was born.
Terry and Lyn then invited some musical friends to participate in the project. Everyone picked one line from the song; then recorded their line and the chorus, from the safety of their own homes, and sent their videos to Terry. Lyn directed traffic, reviewed audio/video takes - note by note and frame by frame and took to calling herself Quincy Jones! Terry spent more than 30 hours glued to his computer and completed an audio recording and a video. Here’s Terry’s screen:
The video was released on Facebook via YouTube on April 21, 2020. They asked FB viewers to please make a donation to the Food Banks of Saskatchewan. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/pEKFfRGC0CY
Lyn and Terry are grateful to Jay Semko, Sylvia Chave, Desirée Hobbins, Glenn Sutter, Heather Desjardins, Shayne Lazarowich, Gillian Snider, Scott Anthony Andrews, Tom Kennedy, Krystle Pederson, Rhonda Gallant-Morari, Oral Fuentes, LJ Tyson, Larry Krause, Forrest Eaglespeaker and Terri Bear Linklater.
With their contribution of time and talent, together they made WE’LL BE FREE a very special musical message of love from Saskatchewan to the World!
