The video published last Wednesday has already been viewed hundreds of thousands of times online.
The lyrics relate to the current restrictions in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The video opens with Nathan Carter singing, “I never thought I’d see the day that when I can’t shake your hand.”
Also starring in the new video is popular artist Johnny Logan who adds, “There’s a war we’re fighting, it’s breaking all our hearts, and that’s the reason why we got to stay six feet apart.”
Artists from a variety of musical genres feature in the three minute song, including, Tommy Fleming, Brian Kennedy, Chloe Agnew and Sean Keane.
‘Stay at home, stay alive’ has been positively received online with scores of people branding it ‘a powerful way to put a message across’. Others added that it is ‘a brilliant song’ with some even suggesting that it should be the ‘NHS anthem for Covid-19’.
