Keep Your Head Up Child, written by Joe Tippett and performed by Joe and Sara Bareilles

An offering of The Clear Day Project (@ClearDayProject), this special song, “Keep Your Head Up Child,” is an original song written by actor Joe Tippett and performed by Joe and his Grammy-award-winning collaborator, Sara Bareilles. The song was dedicated to the graduates of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and their instructors who have worked tirelessly and selflessly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Clear Day Project is a living theatre project co-founded by former Carnegie Mellon drama classmates Jordan Dean, Kersti Bryan and Dan Amboyer. Dean had two surgeries, including a 13-hour open- heart surgery, at Mount Sinai Hospital in 2019. Reacting to the gravity of the pandemic, Clear Day Project assembled a series of eclectic New York performers (including Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winners) to create artistic messages of gratitude and solidarity for frontline workers at the Mount Sinai Health System titled, “Songs for Mount Sinai”. Additional videos from the "Songs for Mount Sinai" initiative can be found on the ‪@MountSinaiNYC‬ YouTube channel.
