When the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon, I, along with the rest of Boston and much of the world, was horrified. When something like this happens, it’s difficult not to feel helpless. I needed to do something. Anything. And though it may not be much, I decided to write a song. It’s a simple song with a simple message. I wanted to show the strength, resilience, and kindness of the people of Boston. I hope that I have accomplished that goal. If you share any of the sentiments expressed in this song, please pass it along in the hopes that it will reach as many people as possible, and that it might lend some small amount of comfort and hope to all those affected by this terrible tragedy. Thank you. And may we all heal. May we all overcome. With much love and appreciation, Rachel Gambiza Link to share this video: http://youtu.be/Qov6xcI0pZk |

"With her obvious skill in classical and heavy metal stylings, and her devious embrace of the absurd and melodramatic, it's as though Rachel Gambiza were the unholy offspring of Kurt Weill and Freddie Mercury. When you listen to her sing a song such as "Mr. Shiny Pants," it becomes clear that trying to decide whether she's a lunatic genius or thoroughly engaged in a joke the rest of us might never get is an entirely pointless endeavor. It's quite clear she's both, and thank goodness for that." --Victor D. Infante, The Worcester Telegram and Gazette |
