A short interview-style YouTube video in which musician Jesse Thompson describes how the COVID-19 pandemic halted normal life and inspired him to create uplifting music to support fellow artists and listeners. In this excerpt he recounts being motivated to write a tune he calls "weekend groove," assembling it piece by piece as a response to the challenges of lockdown.

You know, during the.
Pandemic, everything came to a halt.
To be told that you can't go.
Outside and go to the store or.
Drive anywhere.
And we're used to going where we want to go was. It was kind of insane to me.
And then I realized how much it was impacting.
My fellow musicians and fellow artists. So it was just.
Placed in my heart to create.
Something that was uplifting, that was inspiring, and that really, really motivated me. So at that moment, I was down here in a J spot and started creating a tune weekend groove, and everything just started coming together, just.
Piece by pie.
Peace. You know, it's just like, oh, man. Okay, I hear this, hear that. So I'm laying it down. And it was.
Just a wonderful opportunity.
Because I said, I definitely want to put something out that.
Will put a.
Happy vibe in people's heart, that will allow them to pat their feet, bob their head, and even take them away from the pandemic situation, even if it's just for a moment, to let them be able to appreciate life and to see and recognize, hey, better days are ahead.
