Today, instead of reaching in to understand or explain, I just listen and let myself be grateful for music, for sunshine and rain, for the many people on this earth and the internet that allows these kinds of beautiful videos happen.
If you are interested in backstory....
the original song this is based on was written and recorded in 2014 by an artist named Jermaine Edwards, a Jamaican gospel singer. Jermaine Edwards, RushawnIn 2017, 10-year-old Rushawn Ewears was recorded by a teacher at the Top Hill Primary School in St. Elizabeth and the recording circulated among locals.
A few months ago a short clip of Rushawn went viral and creators have been making various remixes and derivative works. This version by Kiffness has been particularly popular with 6M views in 4 weeks.
As a result of the internet frenzy, both Jermaine Edwards and Rushawn Ewears have signed recording deals with Sony and the school is getting a new playground and other upgrades.
