Order “Jose Louis And The Paradox Of Love” – https://pierrekwenders.lnk.to/JoseLouis

“Heartbeat’ represents the paradox of love,” says Kwenders. “Love can manifest itself in many and the most unexpected ways. I’ve been a fan of anaiis’ for a while now. The tenderness that breathes through her voice was the perfect match to this story. While our hearts are beating hard, we’re surrounded by the beauty of nature which keeps us calm and happy. All in tenderness, on a farm of love!”

Performed By Pierre Kwenders & Anaiis

Oh I’m so glad I eventually found where

I thank god for you, love
