Supported by a steady drum rhythm, percussive elements, and soaring strings, is part laid back, and part urgent plea, as the singer declares their heartfelt affection to the titular character. It&#8217;s easy listening with a wide appeal that will strike a chord with just about everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Out of Seattle, Washington State, La Need Machine have a unique sound and work ethic that is still very much classic North West. The band is a musical collective that donates a significant part of their proceeds to charities that help people both in their local community and around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charities that they are presently supporting include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrevorproject.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.thetrevorproject.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Trevor Project<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/Home\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marysplaceseattle.org\/shelters\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.marysplaceseattle.org\/shelters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mary&#8217;s Place Emergency Family Shelters<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nursingworld.org\/ana\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nursingworld.org\/ana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Nurses Association<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tetiaroasociety.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tetiaroasociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tetiaroa Society<\/a> (Marlon Brando&#8217;s Non-Profit)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/childhaven.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/childhaven.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Childhaven<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/charity.org\/emergencies\/ukraine-response-fund\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/charity.org\/emergencies\/ukraine-response-fund\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Impact &#8211;
