WATCH: Sheryl Crow Remembers Sandy Hook Anniversary With New Song

On Monday's Good Morning America, singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow debuted her new song dedicated to Sandy Hook victims. Thursday this week marks the five-year anniversary of the tragic mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, which killed 20 students and six staffers.


Later that day, Sheryl unveiled her new music video for "The Dreaming Kind."

Her 12-year-old niece, Ava Crow, performed alongside her on Good Morning America, and is featured on the new song.

The tragedy, and all the ones that have followed, "weighed heavily" on her heart.

"The tragedy in Newtown 5 years ago and the countless lives lost in mass shootings since have weighed heavily on my heart," Crow wrote regarding the song, via Rolling Stone.

I felt compelled to write 'The Dreaming Kind' for the incredible people at Sandy Hook Promise who work so hard every day to combat gun violence. The extraordinary work this organization does to educate and protect our nation from further bloodshed gives me hope for a better tomorrow. I hope this song will inspire the same feeling in those who hear it.

The Sandy Hook Promise.

The nine-time Grammy winner is working in conjunction with Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit group co-founded by Mark Barden, whose son Daniel was killed in the Sandy Hook Tragedy. “The work of Sandy Hook Promise focuses on preventing gun violence before it starts,” he said in a statement.

A life-changing moment... then nothing happened.

Speaking to People, Crow talked about the "complete and total devastation and disillusionment" that comes in the aftermath of these mass shootings and how the Sandy Hook Promise hopes to prevent future tragedies.

"When Sandy Hook happened, we knew it was a life-changing moment where we were going to address the idea that not everyone should be approved to own a gun, especially military-style weaponry and yet, nothing happened," Crow said. "At some point, the alarm clock has to go off and we have to wake up."

Missouri State Representative Stacey Newman is all for waking people up, especially Republican lawmakers.

Sheryl made the song available for download, with all the proceeds going to the Sandy Hook Promise.

People love the song, calling it "beautiful."

Some people feel the real conversation about solving gun violence in our country has yet to be discussed.

That is a lot of guns -- nearly one each for 326 million Americans.

The trolls were at the ready to disseminate alternative facts.

And it seems some people can't help but be a critic

Trump Ripped After Posting Disturbing Parody Music Video About His Attack On Iran

President Donald Trump is facing harsh criticism after he shared a music video featuring the 1980 song "Bomb Iran"—a parody of The Regents song "Barbara Ann" that is best known for being covered by the Beach Boys—amid a ceasefire between Israel and Iran that could further inflame tensions in the Middle East.

The controversial parody song by Vince Vance & the Valiants plays over footage of B-2 stealth bombers, the same aircraft used to drop 14 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Fordow enrichment plant, Natanz complex, and Isfahan site.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Zohran Mamdani after the 33-year-old democratic socialist handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday—only to be called out for projecting his own feelings of inadequacy onto the star candidate.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
