The Detroit Youth Choir honors gun violence victims with a poignant Guns N’ Roses cover
The video text continues: “On May 24, 2022, Layla was one of 19 children and two teachers killed at Robb Elementary School in Ulvade. This is for Layla, her school friends and all victims of gun violence.”
The children’s choir joins forces to emotively sing the track, wearing T-shirts with the names of cities across the United States that have been impacted by mass shootings, including Sandy Hook, Buffalo and Parkland. “She’s got eyes of the bluest skies/ As if they thought of rain/ I’d hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain/ Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place/ Where as a child I’d hide/ And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by,” individual choir members sing with the help of backing harmonies.
An added verse differentiates the new version from the original and sees one of the choir members pleading with adults to help enact change, no matter how small.
