All proceed from "Heartbeat to Heartbeat, Eye to Eye (From Reno with Love) will go to Artown's "From Reno with Love Artist Fund," created to provide assistance to Reno artists adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reno, Nevada (August 18, 2020) — Inspired by a friendly challenge from Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve and several Reno arts and culture partners are proud to present “Heartbeat to Heartbeat, Eye to Eye (From Reno with Love),” a new song and video inspired by Mayor Fischer’s “Lift Up Lou” movement, launched in early March to keep residents’ spirits up during the fight against COVID-19 and maintain a sense of connectedness, even at a time of necessary social distancing.

“This amazing song and video show that, even though our lives have changed dramatically since March, our arts and culture scene is still very much alive in Reno,” Schieve said. “The arts have strengthened Reno’s economy, driven tourism, sparked creativity and innovation, and have promoted local business. I am so very proud to once again raise the profile of Reno's incredible local arts and culture scene. I want to thank all the talented musicians and artists who found a way to collaborate from a distance and bring our city even closer together. We truly are #BigArtsLittleCity!”

“Artown is built on collaboration and inspiring community through the arts,” said Beth Macmillan, Artown Executive Director. “This project aligns perfectly with Artown’s goals and mission. By supporting 53 artists, Artown is able to help some of the most economically vulnerable members of our community, while assisting in the creation of an incredibly inspiring piece of collaborative music and uplifting video. We hope everyone enjoys it.”
“The Reno Phil was excited and honored to be asked to participate as a partner in this project,” said Tim Young, President and CEO of the Reno Phil. “We are proud to be a part of the creative culture in Reno, and the idea of creating a work of art that showcased our community of artists was thrilling. Eric and the entire team have exceeded every expectation in writing, performing and producing "Heartbeat to Heartbeat, Eye to Eye.” I cannot wait to share it with the world!”

“We wanted to address the legitimate frustrations that are on all our minds right now, while simultaneously encouraging a message of strength, love and unity,” Andersen said. “Working with such an eclectic, talented and enthusiastic cast of artists provided more than enough inspiration to deliver on that mission. Producing this song has truly been the honor and opportunity of a lifetime.”

‘“Heartbeat to Heartbeat, Eye to Eye (From Reno with Love)’ is a message of hope for the community and city that I am proud to call home,” Evans said. “The project came at a time when I personally wanted to contribute something positive to the world in the face of so many struggles.”

lyrics

Could it be that word is falling apart in front of our eyes?
Is there anywhere left we can turn for the truth?
When all any of us want is to be loved, to be seen and understood 
To be part of the solution, a new evolution 

Stand strong now together, we’re gonna survive 
This is our moment, let’s get it right
It’s a long road out ahead of us, if we’re gonna bridge this divide
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye

Could it be that the world is just trying to course correct?
As if fighting our way out of the cocoon
It’s a call to action, to love, to change our ways for good 
To embrace our birth pains, a new evolution 

Stand strong now together, we’re gonna survive
This is our moment, let’s get it right
It’s a long road out ahead of us, but we’ve gotta bridge this divide
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye

Beat to beat, eye to eye, no time to lie, when in the streets I can die
Get it right, time to fight, understand the whys
See through my eyes and check the perspective
My point of view is not just an elective
An open mind gives sight to the blind, and hidden truths are what you’re likely to find
Need empathy to be kind and grow, be in the know before we sow
And we’ll reap the fruits of our labor, but the process is slow

Stand strong now together, we’re gonna survive 
This is our moment, let’s get it right
It’s a long road out ahead of us, but we’re gonna bridge this divide
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye

Brothers and sisters, rise above
One voice, one people, we are love 
It’s a long road out ahead of us, but we’re gonna bridge this divide
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye (cause’ love won’t let us down)
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye (let the city hear this sound)
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye

We are love 
We are love 
Your heart and my heart beating as one
Open your heart 
Heartbeat to heartbeat, eye to eye
