Face2Face founder Marc Benjamin is a\u00a0songwriter and a healthcare industry professional, and &#8216;Face2Face&#8217; was composed with co-producer Valentin.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Face2Face&#8217; is fundamentally an optimistic track, and shows that beyond the misunderstandings, there&#8217;s a basic scientific truth that we&#8217;re all able to access, and that there&#8217;s a clear, vaccine-assisted path to take toward a healthy future. The track looks forward to the day when the pandemic is behind us, and we can return to the activities we all love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Singer Spencer Grimm&#8217;s performance is immediately appealing and deeply sympathetic. The singer rides an electronic beat that wouldn&#8217;t sound out of place in a club or streaming out a car window or on a typical pop playlist. If you weren&#8217;t paying close attention to the words, you might think &#8216;Face2Face&#8217; was a song about a lover&#8217;s reunion. The lyrics are ones of reconciliation which can be applied to quarrelling couples, family members coping with a generational divide, or Americans staggering under the burden of an unprecedented amount of ambient misinformation about public health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video, too, is more open-ended and artistic than Face2Face America&#8217;s mission might imply. It ends happily with shots in arms \u2013 but before it reaches its conclusion, we&#8217;re shown a young couple who are struggling to make a connection. They could be arguing about their relationship or discussing the best way to confront the hard realities of the world during an unprecedented crisis. We&#8217;ve all felt their confusion and their fear. Luckily, an end is in sight. As Face2Face America knows, we&#8217;ll all reach that finish line sooner if we travel together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch the video below &#8211; and get your vaccine!
