<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cMOSSIE is about someone who is willing to sacrifice their own comfort and lifestyle in order to ensure the survival and happiness of a loved one. It tells a story of sacrifice and unconditional love,\u201d the talented singer shares about the meaning behind this special song. \u201cI grew up with a disabled girl, Mossie. She was my Granny Botha\u2019s youngest child of four. My grandmother devoted forty-nine-years of her life to taking care of her. It was not always an easy task and took a lot of sacrifice. Grandma Botha gave up a normal life for Mossie. When we look at birds in nature, we always notice majestic birds like eagles, but we tend to overlook the efforts of the sparrow (mossie). My grandmother became a sparrow because of her love for Mossie. The song was written a year after Mossie had passed away and three days later my grandmother also died unexpectedly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now this beautiful contemporary track is also coming to life on-screen, in the form of a gripping new music video that was filmed at Leeukop in the Cape. Nico and Almero Welgemoed were the creative brains behind the lens and they have managed to capture the most breath-taking scenes for this project. \u201cWe wanted to show that beauty can be found in simple things like the field or in the little flowers that I put in my hair at the last minute. The skirt I wore also made me think of the skirts that Mossie used to wear,\u201d Liani explains. \u201cMOSSIE is a story that is close to my heart and it is the best reminder when I lose sight of what is important. I started creating the \u2018book\u2019 of things that matter to me when I was small and was able to witness what love looked like from my spot next to Mossie\u2019s wheelchair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
