Zach Sobiech of Lakeland, MN.
In November 2009, Zach Sobiech was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer that typically affects growing teens. Since then, he’s endured numerous surgeries and months of chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, the cancer spread to both of his lungs this summer, and Zach, 17, was recently told he has only months to live. As the end draws nearer, the Stillwater High School senior is saying goodbye to his friends and family through his music.
Thanks to Dan Seeman, VP of KS95, Zach recently had the opportunity to record one of his songs, “Clouds,” with professional musicians. The song and recording session were documented in a music video, which you can watch below.
The lyrics to “Clouds” tell the story of a young person searching for a silver lining as his mortality draws nearer and nearer. At one point, Zach sings, “Be ready to live and it’ll be ripped right out of my hands.” Later, he sings, “And maybe someday I’ll see you again/We’ll fly up in the clouds and we’ll never see the end.”
I’m asking you to listen to the music of someone with a dream. A dream to record a professional song.
Zach did that. Now let’s give him an audience!
Pass the YouTube video in your email, Facebook pages, blogs or whatever.
So so true!
