Chorus of Courage Releases New Song “Two People” featuring Cait Alexander
Ontario-based collective project Chorus of Courage released a new song “Two People” on October 24, 2024.
The song features Canadian singer-songwriter and actress Cait Alexander.
Cait Alexander penned the song following a horrific experience where her ex-boyfriend nearly murdered her.
Seven days after surviving a near-fatal attack, the song was born, capturing the confusing duality of abusers and the emotional turmoil survivors face.
Produced by Sarah MacDougall.
Cait Alexander said of the song, “This song was written immediately after the shattering of my life. Following a violent act of abuse, writing music was the only thing that made sense to me.”
She added, “After seven days and I couldn't think, didn't feel. I was sitting in my parents garden and beautiful day in August, and I was covered in bruises, dried blood, still from open wounds, and the songs were the only thing, the only thing that came up.”- Chorus of Courage said of the song, “The song, entitled 'Two People,' was written just days after Cait survived an attempted murder by her ex, and it reveals the painful reality of the abuse cycle and the disturbing duality of abusers.”
They continued, “But what makes this release truly special is Cait's fierce advocacy for change. She has become a leading voice against gender-based violence, courageously fighting for much-needed reforms in a justice system that failed her. She is the founder of Eve Initiative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to end violence and create much needed change.”
They added, “We are proud to join forces with Cait in her mission to bring awareness, validation, and healing through music. We believe this song will be a beacon of hope and a tool for breaking the silence that so many survivors experience.” -
Chorus of Courage is a project that uses music as a tool for healing, and community support to engage in a conversation which centres survivors and their lived experiences. An initiative led by musician and psychotherapist Cindy Doire, Chorus of Courage facilitates creative collaboration in an attempt to reach others who have experienced similar stories. The project hopes to spark an important conversation and advocate for change.
