This music video is absolutely precious. 9-year-old Clara Mae sings “Close to You” by the Carpenters.

At the start of this video, we see little Clara Mae with her blonde locks and a flower crown while in a field holding a yellow sunflower. Then, an elderly couple is highlighted with their love for one another. They are holding hands, laughing, and walking downtown. The sweet singer Clara with her pure young voice sings right in front of an incredible mountain range.

During the second verse, the couple dances in their living room at home. The sweet couple share a kiss. Clara Mae has a fun, 70’s type vibe with her bell bottom jeans and hippie look. She is very easy to listen to and adorable. At the end of her music video, your heart will melt as she dedicates her song and video to all the elderly people who have had a hard time during the pandemic.

Clara Mae is a part of the Rise Up singer children's group. She is very gifted for her age and is sharing her talent with the world. In this video, there is a couple highlighted who love each other deeply after many years of marriage. This reminds us of being committed and staying devoted to those to whom we make promises in life.

Whether you are married or not, there are people around us with whom we have commitments within our homes and communities. May this music video remind us of the gift of friendship and family that is close in heart even if not physically together in a pandemic.

Jesus knew His friends would miss Him when we were no longer with them physically. We can have comfort in the knowledge of our love and find creative ways to communicate and love one another.

“So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.” John 16:22
