Watson shared how the video has been therapeutic for him following the death of his brother, David Watson, who passed away in November from complications of COVID-19.
“I think of my brother and my family because this production came to fruition at that time of grieving,” he said in the report.
NBC spoke with choir member Kallan Joos who said the music video “can bring a sort of unity and happiness to everyone.”
