Derik Nelson "Refuge" by John Legend

As you may know, tornadoes have torn through the South, demolishing peoples homes, destroying personal memorabilia, and taking lives - leaving these families with nothing. Our goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 to send families disaster packages with an emphasis on Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Joplin, Missouri. The emergency packages will include: Gift cards, toilet paper, all toiletries, flashlights, batteries, crayons, coloring books, power bars, granola bars, pedialyte, crystal light, gatorade, baby bottles, pacifiers, and small tarps for shelter.

YouTube artists from all over are joining forces with Hartman House for our first ever BamaJam! Help us raise $10,000 by donating today and spreading the word on your facebook, twitter, tumblr, blog, etc. Help us help the South!

I chose this song because of its uplifting and positive message. For those affected by the tornadoes, my heart goes out to you... I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. If I were in your position, I would want to surround myself with the people I love, which is the essence and meaning of this song.

I saw this video a while ago and was somehow drawn back to it, and I'm glad I was. Still as mesmerized by your voice as I was when I first heard it. This is my favorite cover of this song on youtube by far. :)
