Alex Boye' - 7 Seconds Ft. Marabeth Poole

Stream Song Here: goo.gl/ScuFv7
Last year, I had the great honor and opportunity of meeting an incredible lady by the name of Marrianne. She is an incredible painter. She came to one of my concerts. After the show she approached me and we had some great conversations. I later found out she was the mother of Julianne & Derek Hough from dancing with the stars and have since gone on from there to do even more incredible things. (True story, when Julianne was at high school, she asked me if I would come and speak to the students at her class about the entertainment business - now she should be teaching me. Ha ha!)
Marianne told me she had another daughter who writes songs and has a great voice and thought it would be great for us to collaborate on something in the future. Well it happened a lot quicker than we both thought and within a matter of weeks she flew into Utah and we worked on this project. It came out awesome!
Marabeth is one amazing soul and a heart of gold. Her husband and I have quickly become great friends, and I'm sure we will be doing more things together in the future!
Thanks to RJ Idos for his incredible cinematography, and to our featured dancer Kotahi Tarawhiti for her incredible energy and creativity.
The song 7 seconds refers to the first moments of a Childs life not knowing about problems of violence and racism in the world, and the pure and beautiful innocence of children.
This song is sung in 3 languages Wolof (west african dialect) French & English
The original version of this song was recorded in 1993 by Neneh Cherry & Yousson D'or

[@michaeljacobson4597]

I really like this song as I listened to it before this video came out. I found the video to be a little "rough" in terms of how everyone acted in the video (is it meant to be that way in an African way?). I too want to know what the spiral cane symbol means...

[@pitbulloaks]

Wow good song. Catchy, good job. Rj Idos did you film this? Amazing shots.Especially the red, and blue sky around 4:20
