Think Outside Your Box

New Single With My 4 Year Old!

Rachel Sparrow · Somewhere/Rainbow Connection/Wonderful World- Rachel & Ella Sparrow

Now more than ever, with all the hate in the world...we need to teach our children correct principles of love, inclusivity, and equality. I strive to do this as much as I can, through our music we share together.

I want to highlight this line: "The colors on the rainbow are so pretty in the sky, are also on the faces, of people walkin' by, I see friends shakin' hands sayin' "How do you do?" They're really sayin' "I love you".

My 4 year old daughter Ella and I have had such a fun time making this recording together. My arrangement is loosely based on "IZ"'s original mashup of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World.
I added some Rainbow Connection and created this sweet little duet with my girl. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have. I can't wait to perhaps make a a little music video with her on this someday soon!

"Think Outside Your Box" means 3 things:

1. Be Selfless - think beyond your own "box". (and for singers, there's more to life than your voice box!) You're capable of helping and healing others.

2. Feel Empowered to bust out of the proverbial
"box" made of societally-induced-parameters.

3. Be Bold. Innovate. Stretch yourself. You can do anything if you set your mind to it.
