This is a beautiful song, the title track, as it were, from a new autobiographical stage show from Benjamin Scheuer. Scheuer's show The Lion will get its American premiere in June, but the video for this song performed by Scheuer and his band Escapist Papers has already won awards.
I would note that the song lyrics feature murder and death and sickness amongst animals. But so does Babar. In spite of that, it's probably the most uplifting song you'll hear all week, and the animation from Radish Pictures is gorgeous.
