On the 13th the song was a pay what you want for one day exclusive download on Bandcamp and charted at #56. Now it is unavailable. In this day and age I hope this is not the way artists do this. Here one day, gone from history the next.

PS I thought the Itunes three weeks and done was a bad thing!

If anybody can find this song, please let me know!

I just don't get it. You're trying to raise money for charity, so you put it out for 24 hours on some obscure
website. Why not at least leave it up on said website for a longer period of time, maybe you'd actually raise
MORE money for the charity, especially once word got out that it actually made the Hot 100!

It's not even a charity Paul like most of us think. The proceeds from Phoebe & Maggie's version benefit Georgia politician Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight organization, which promotes fair elections in Abrams' home state and nationally, while also encouraging voter participation and voting rights education. Plenty of causes, homeless people etc that could benefit from a charity single but here it is a politician instead.

Bandcamp is known, but you are right it is obscure. The fans of them apparently knew it was coming, just not us collecting folks. Apparently no one can post a youtube video of the song, they all get take down notices for copyright...
