This landmark track heralds the arrival of Cycamore’s forthcoming album, The New Old School Album, and offers a compelling glimpse into the musical brilliance that defines this extraordinary group.

The iconic song, originally penned by Tim Blixseth and reimagined for Cycamore in light of today’s political climate, was initially the anthem for the Today Show’s “Make a Difference” campaign, which supported the victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The video is Directed by Flick Wiltshire of Vintage Flick Productions Nashville/Pensacola.

"Reimagining this song with Cycamore has been a deeply meaningful journey,” said Blixseth. “Originally crafted to support Hurricane Katrina victims, it’s incredible to see how its message can resonate again in our current times. The song's enduring power lies in its ability to adapt and inspire, reflecting the spirit of resilience and hope we all need today.”
