"We wanted to be useful and do something," says Pascal Obispo. "We tried to produce this song confined to our house, with the musicians at home, the mixer in my studio, and by recording the voices on our Iphone". A first for the three artists. "We realize that these people (the caregivers), we did not consider them. We did not consider the hospitals, the equipment they needed. Tomorrow, that will change, that's for sure. The problem c 'is that we always wait until the last moment to act ", regrets the singer again.
"Highlight all these people"
