We Amplify Voices presents

Goodwill Wordmark-01.png

The voices of Goodwill's Adult Day Services program

We first worked with Goodwill back in 2021, with a songwriting workshop featuring Stephanie Amber & Adam Darling of Honey and Blue. The song they created together is called, "You Lift Me Up".

 

In an effort to gain a deeper understanding of the group and those they connect with every day, we conducted interviews with staff and a few of the participants in the program. 

​

Then in 2022 we gladly returned to lead more workshops, this time with three groups, featuring three artists. The songs created feature Nicholas D'Andrea, Mery Steel and Eric Rollin who used their voices to share the groups perspectives through song.

 

We compiled all of our songs with Goodwill on an EP titled, "Never Get Low". Featuring an acoustic version of "You Lift Me Up".

We've been honored to help amplify the voices of the individuals from this program. They wanted to share their perspective and point of view, that being disabled doesn't mean they don't have gifts, talents and goals. This song had an impact on us all and we're pumped to finally share it - hopefully spread more love and positivity through their words: "I finally feel like I can smile now I've got so much joy in my life now You brought the light and now I’m Shining, thriving, you helped me decide that All that pressure finally made a diamond, I am I paint the colors that I wanna see Creating worlds that live inside of me Now I’m exactly who I’m supposed to be And that’s because of all the goodwill that you show to me"
