Orion

“Orion” by D-Squared

My older brother Don wrote this song (and he and my sister, Deb Gessner perform it here) to celebrate the birth of our little brother Mike’s first grandson, Orion. Mike only got to see Orion in an ultrasound capture, a photo my niece showed him a day before he died of cancer on March 6, 2020. He would have loved this song, though not as much as he must love Orion. I’m particularly fond of the way Don and Deb shot this from below—like we get to be the baby listening to the song and wondering what might be out there!
