“Think LOUD for Parkinson’s” – a new song inspired by LSVT LOUD® speech treatment has been released! It is a MUST SEE to get you inspired to THINK LOUD while tapping your feet to the cool beat!
THINK LOUD by KINDRED SPIRIT
(Music – Josh Phillips, Paul Mitchell. Lyrics – Ian Grant. Producer – Paul Mitchell. Executive Producers – Ian Grant, John Caulcutt)
Strictly theme co-composer and Procol Harum organist Josh Philips has joined forces with producer Paul Mitchell and legendary music manager Ian Grant to create a new, original track to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson’s, and encourage people living with the condition to keep using their voices.
Several famous names have also contributed performances to the track, including John Illsley (Dire Straits), Marcella Detroit (Shakespears Sister), and Stuart Elliott (Cockney Rebel, Kate Bush).
Named THINK LOUD, the song is inspired by the LSVT LOUD therapy sessions that have helped Ian Grant to support and repair his speech following his Parkinson’s diagnosis. It is a foot-stomping, rousing, soulful, pop-rock track complete with backing from a full gospel choir (The Jordan family gospel group) and a chorus that you can’t help but sing along to.
The song aims to inspire and empower people living with Parkinson’s, whilst also raising awareness of the condition that affects some 10,000,000 people worldwide and the urgent need for a cure. It is hoped the track will inspire people to lift up their voices and call for progress and donate to the cause.
A special shout our to Pip Steers, LSVT LOUD Certified clinician at First Community Health and Care, for the wonderful treatment she delivered.
The limited edition album Think LOUD 4 Parkinson’s has been released, featuring an incredible lineup of British rock legends, including Leo Sayer, members of Dire Straits, Queen, The Waterboys and punk-poet legend John Cooper Clarke.
This exclusive double album is a unique collaboration aimed at raising awareness and funds for Cure Parkinson’s, a charity dedicated to finding a cure for this devastating condition.
