Pattie Gonia, Yo-Yo Ma and Quinn Christopherson came together to write a song about not giving up on this planet and not giving up on each other.
Climate justice and environmental justice are inextricably linked.
How we treat this planet is how we treat each other.
Produced by Grammy award-winning Producer Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Blake Mills, Andrew Bird) and with performances by players violinist Paul Cartwright (Kendrick Lamar, Bright Eyes, Olivia Rodrigo) and drummer James McAllister (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheerhan, Sufjan Stevens) - the new single was created as a climate movement anthem.

LYRICS
We’ll I’m not
I’m not gonna say goodbye
I won’t see you on the other side
Even when I feel tired
I won’t stop
You & I
Made up of the same things
Nature running in our veins
Even when I feel tired
I won’t stop trying
I’ve seen the sun shine before all this gray
Always find light still the breaking of day
I won't give up for a minute
Never giving up on you
Never giving up on you
Well we’re caught
Caught up in the fire of time
How do we stay strong, stay kind?
We don’t have to say goodbye
Don’t say goodbye
I saw you burning
Up in the night
I’ll always keep searching
Searching for light
I won't give up for a minute
Never giving up on you
Never giving up on you
I won’t give up for a minute
Never giving up on you
Never giving up on you
I won’t give up for a minute
Never giving up on you
Never giving up on you

I was worried in January when I saw that "Yo Yo Ma/Pattie Gonia collab" was on my 2023 bingo card but wow, here we are. Great video, Alaska is such a beautiful place.
I'm a 60 yo white straight guy in NC. I stumbled upon Patty yesterday in a photo at Congress for something in a tree get up on twitter. She intrigued me and googled away. So here I am welled up emotionally because of this beautiful fantastic song. Pattie Gonia has a new big fan in NC. What a talent.
I'm so moved by how moved everyone in the comments is, if that makes sense ... This song is incredible and so, so needed. ❤namaste
@rebecca Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.
An incredible trio! What a beautiful homage to our Mother. ❤️🌏❤️
It feels like Hope is in such small supply these days, this is such a beautiful reminder to keep going and keep fighting for love, kindness, and a better future ❤
The background looks like the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska. It breaks my heart when I see the bare earth where ice should be. This song is so beautiful and timely.
I just don't understand these takes. Should the dinosaurs have wept when Pangaea broke apart?
Just wonderful! As a regional drag queen, this hits very emotional and inspired me! Thank you, and all those who helped to make this come true.
I think I like this so much I would have to say I never loved The Maestro more. I was worried about him getting sick from the cold , but my goodness Yo- Yo has outdone it. It clearly takes strength to play that. Fabulous song, wonderful orchestrations, and terrific voices. Yo- Yo is also too sweet and cute in this video. Looking the singers up x x
@sarah Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.
Really loved the way each element came through, the guitar, vocals, and cello. The guitar made it feel really low-key and soft rock . I also really appreciated the way Yo-Yo's cello solos created a sound that started deep and rich to compliment the vocals of both Pattie Gonia and Quinn Christopherson, ending in a sharp and light tone. I think the length of the song was great too. Not forgetting the visuals of course, which were pleasant and well choreographed with matching themes, showing really sweet gestures of solidarity. Really think the high-pitched notes from Yo-Yo Ma sold it for me, the way it mimicked resonance in glass. That momentary reprieve to center the cello and both the somber and sharp sounds was amazing. Love this!
As a society, we give such lip service to 'coming together' regardless of our differences, and these musicians actually DID. Heartwarming and BEAUTIFUL
That's HOME. I miss it more every single day. Beautiful people, beautiful state, beautiful song. 💚💚💚💚💚
Did not think I could possibly adore Yo-Yo Ma any more than I already did, but wow - this made me cry in the best way. Might have to keep this open and play it at the beginning and end of every day for a while. 💜💜💜
I played it 100s of times
Me too
This was so incredibly moving. Bravo to all three of you and to the team who put this beautiful project together! 👏🏻
@jasmine Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.
Extraordinary singing voices! Fabulous choreographed scene. The trio perform gracefully, and the song conveys hope for a healthier environment is a powerful message. Yo-yo Ma excels in delivering the story along with the song and the guitar melody. Perfect rendition.
@helena Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.
This was so moving! And the joy on Yo-Yo Ma’s face says everything ❤ Amazing collaboration, thank you ❤

Yo-Yo MA, you are such a gift to this world. This is such a great vibes song. Something I really needed right now.
This is the most interesting colab I've seen. Long time fan of Yo-Yo and never thought I would see him cross path with you Pattie. So much love for this! ❤
This is such a beautiful song! ❤🌏🌎🌍
You know that moment in the movie when the main character summons the strength to save the day? Reaching down deep to do what they thought couldn't be done? That's us, now.
Breath taking!! You are such a profound artist!!
You moved me. I believe in this so much. The video isn't about a man dressed as a woman, but it wouldn't be the same if you weren't you. Thank you for sharing Pattie Gonia with us.
Thank You so much for the vocals, the strings, for this amazing experience. I loved!

Wow, I grew up with Yo-yo Ma as my grandpa loved him... now I see this wonderful collaboration. How lovely.

I was blown away by the beauty and poignancy of this song and video. Thank you Pattie Gonia, Quinn Chistopherson and Yo-Yo Ma! I'm a psychotherapist/ecotherapist and queer ecology educator and this has become my anthem! I have all my classes watch the video and we discuss the importance of finding hope and community for the times we live in. Thank you again!
I was moved by your song, which is the nature & soul is so beautiful, thanks a lot.

I'm crying 😭Words cannot express how grateful I am that you felt this and that you made this song and shared it with us. So many hard things happening or not happening right now, and it hurts. I needed this message of hope and love so much. Thank you❤🩹
Iconic trio! Love the song, love you three together
Have always admired Yo-Yo but now even more! I also love the vocals, and just the whole song and video. Thank you for making my night! Hopefully I can complete this often.
Thank you for this Pattie, means the whole 🌎🌍
