Watch John Legend End Night Two of the DNC With ‘Never Break’

John Legend closed out the second night of the Democratic National Convention with a performance of his song, “Never Break,” Tuesday, August 18th.

Legend recorded his performance in an empty theater, starting out alone on stage — just him and his piano — before being joined by a small choir whose members certainly looked like they were properly spaced six feet apart. “We will never break,” Legend and the choir sang, “As the water rises/And the mountains shake/Our love will remain/We will never.”

On Twitter, Legend posted about his performance, writing: “Thanks to the @DemConvention for asking me to close out a powerful night with my new song #NeverBreak. The song is about love, hope and resilience, and I think we could all use some of that right now.”
