Tiiu Strutt) returns with a powerful new single, \u201cYou Belong Here.\u201d Already shared as a moving music video in collaboration with Child and Nature Alliance of Canada (CNAC) and Black in Nature, the song invites listeners of all ages to lean in, listen, and feel their place in the world \u2014 as nature intended.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2003, Tiiu has toured nationally, recorded four albums, been featured on CBC\u2019s Canada Live, and helped define what family music can be. A collaborator at heart, she co-founded Toronto\u2019s celebrated KIDZAC series and has performed at festivals alongside artists like Juno-nominee GinaLina. Her songs are rooted in her love of land and shaped by a growing understanding of social justice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"You Belong Here\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EIc-jYr-RZA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis song is rooted in my own love for the outdoors \u2014 and also my realization that not everyone has had the same opportunity to nurture their relationship with nature,\u201d explained Tiiu. \u201cAfter George Floyd\u2019s death, I started learning about racism in outdoor spaces. This song is my way of joining that conversation.\u00a0 It is about affirming that we all belong in nature. My hope is that as we nurture everyone\u2019s sense of belonging in the outdoors, we will be more likely to better care for each other and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chorus is gentle, firm, and unforgettable: \u201cYou belong here, my dear. You belong here.\u201d Tiiu\u2019s voice is both lullaby and lantern, guiding listeners toward connection \u2014 with each other and the Earth. Inspired by stories of Black Canadians reclaiming outdoor joy, including Elladj Bald\u00e9\u2019s figure-skating videos and Lukeisha Andrews\u2019 work with Black in Nature, the song stands as an invitation to all: step outside, you\u2019re already welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Joel Schwartz (Dione Taylor, Shawna Caspi), \u201cYou Belong Here\u201d features Joel on acoustic and electric guitar, with Mark Mariash on drums. The track blends singer-songwriter sincerity with a rootsy elegance that crosses genre lines. It\u2019s as if Raffi and Brandi Carlile wrote a campfire anthem together \u2014 with a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The accompanying music video \u2014 already viewed widely as part of CNAC\u2019s anti-racism training \u2014 showcases Black families joyfully immersed in nature.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: You Belong Here\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/3760dn6F0FRQbtcVzsOBtL?si=de3c436188444cd1&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Land Heart Song is taking the song on the road with performances throughout Ontario into 2026, including multiple shows at the beloved KIDZAC series she co-hosts.
