BACKSTORY
The kids and crew of OMF have always been huge fans of the classic 80's movie, The Lost Boys. Back in 2008, OMF took our students to the Chicago Recording Company to record "I Still Believe", another incredible song from the movie! Check it out here: • I Still Believe / For ...
Since then, "Cry Little Sister" has always been on our list of potential cover songs. But it isn't easy to find 23 students who can do this song justice so it took 12 years to align the stars. Our students then spent over a year learning Cry Little Sister note for note. Originally, we planned on recording and filming the song in a church since it would fit the mood of the song perfectly. But then COVID-19 became a concern, and we nearly had to cancel the entire project. Our solution? Record the entire song in an open garage and then add over-the-top COVID-19 precautions like chemical suits.
Finally, we needed to add at least a little bit of melodrama for a song like this, so Macy is wearing her prom dress :)
