We Stand | The Minneapple Anthem Official Tribute

Описание: It was on January 24, 2026, that Alex Pretti was murdered. But in the days and nights leading up to that tragedy, Minneapolis did the impossible. In twenty-below-zero temps, thousands of neighbors refused to stay inside. We gathered to mourn and to march for Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good—but we also stood for the disappeared, their grieving families, and every neighbor living in terror.

"We Stand" is a historical record of those frozen, defiant nights. Written and produced by The Minneapple, this anthem captures the sound of a city that breaks for no one—not the cold, and not the fear. This is for the nurses, the teachers, and every frozen heart that became a spark.
Lyrics:

[Intro] January 24th, 2026. Twenty below zero. They thought we'd stay inside.

[Verse 1] We know the sound of the north wind, the bite that steals your breath January came with shadows—three thousand rose against the threat Coffee shops went dark on Eat Street, empty chairs like tombstones The silence shouted louder than any voice we'd ever known

[Chorus] When the wind chill hits twenty below And our breath rises in the dark We are the Minneapple—together Every frozen heart's a spark We stand, we stand A hundred thousand northern lights We stand, we stand The Minneapple holds the line tonight

[Verse 2] Say their names—we march for Renee Nicole Good Say their names!—we march for Alex Pretti They threw everything they had at us—rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas And still we rose... until a fatal shot tried to silence our hearts From the hospitals to the kitchens, from the sidewalks to the schools Every heartbeat in the cold became a drum of justice

[Chorus] When the wind chill hits twenty below And our breath rises in the dark We are the Minneapple—together Every frozen heart's a spark We stand, we stand A hundred thousand northern lights We stand, we stand The Minneapple holds the line tonight

[Bridge] Renee! (We Remember) Alex! (We Remember) Every neighbor! (WE REMEMBER) The Minneapple! (STANDS FOREVER)

[Final Chorus] We stand, we stand A hundred thousand northern lights We stand, we stand The Minneapple holds the line Twenty below—we're doing fine Twenty below—we're doing fine We stand, we stand The Minneapple holds the line

[Outro] We stand... forever... The Minneapple holds the line! We stand! (We stand!)
