Active Child - His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Over the past several months, we’ve heard Active Child remix Lana Del Rey‘s “Ride” and Ellie Goulding cover his single “Hanging On,” but it’s been quite a while since we last received any new music from the artist whose real name is Pat Grossi. To start off 2013, he decided to release a recording that he hopes “brings you peace on the dawn of this new year.” It is not a brand new Active Child song, however. Instead, it is his take on “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” – a classic gospel song that dates back to 1905 and has been covered throughout the years by a slew of notable artists in all different genres, including Lauryn Hill, Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Andy Griffith, Jessica Simpson and more. As you wait for new, all-original material from Grossi, press play on this harmonious, winter-appropriate tune below.
