LeAnn Rimes - Give - Official Music Video

LeAnn Rimes has released a powerful and moving video for her new song "Give" from her upcoming album Lady & Gentlemen out September 27. The soaring, moving ballad showcases LeAnn's signature voice wrapped around inspirational and uplifting lyrics.

"'Give' is a song with a message about how if we want love, kindness and happiness in our lives, then we need to give some of that back," LeAnn says. "I believe that message needs to be shared with the world."

LeAnn wanted to create a video for the song that that tied into its message, and raised awareness of an issue that is very important to her -- homeless teens across America.

Sadly, 13 homeless kids die on the street every day. In Chicago alone, where the video was filmed on location with youth there, there are approximately 25,000 homeless youth. For the video, LeAnn partnered with StandUp For Kids who's mission is to help homeless and street kids. Every day, in cities across the country, their volunteers go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives. The video includes several teens participating from Chicago's own StandUp For Kids program.

"My life is forever changed from this experience," shares LeAnn. "One thing they all said to me is no one looks them in the eye when they see them on the streets, so there's a deep loneliness there and a feeling of almost not existing. I will now always look anyone who's homeless in the eye and smile. That smile could make their whole day."

This is one of the most poignant and inspirational songs I have heard in a long time. In today's society so many people become rapped up in their own worlds and troubles that all too often it is forgotten that there is always something to be done to help someone else. Each of us have a responsibility to make the world a better place. Go for goodness and leave your mark on society!

I totally agree with all those positive remarks here. We have each other...so let's take care of each other. Too much conflict in the world as it is. What for? Too many have forgotten what their purpose in life is. Not to gather riches. Not to be smarter. Not to forget others. We came into the world with nothing. We learn...we do...and love. So do it right.

@BubbaBoy611 Good on ya for reading that far back - yr a true trouper. I just read what I wrote again and wouldn't change a word of it. But you got it right - it was a great idea! Didn't realise though that the kids on it didnt get a penny (sorry - dime) for doing it. Sounds a bit mean.

@jezkn Amen.........great idea for a song but song is very poorly written.

One of our talented ensemble members was featured in this video while we were readying our youth-written performance "The Other Side of Hurt" at Links Hall - steps from the filming site. Visit our project and family who meet year-round to tell our stories of the street and heal from the traumas that brought us there. WeSayYEPP (.com)

FYI, none of these kids was paid for their appearance in this video, but were asked to sign a release.

@fsupolitico LeAnn Rimes is amazing singer, and she is more than a c-list singer, she is a A CLASS SINGER

[fsupolitico]

Super sentimental, very generic and a lame attempt to make it to even C-list country music singer status. Give it up, LeAnn.
