The Girl in
the Picture
The Belgian musician Eric Geurts was deeply impressed by the story of Kim Phuc. He discovered that the young Vietnamese girl burned by napalm was now an adult woman leading a children’s foundation in Canada.
After reading Denise Chong’s biography about the life of Kim, Eric decided to dedicate a song to Kim Phuc.
“The Girl in the Picture” was written and produced by Eric. Difficult to write, this song captures the painful events of Kim’s past with her remarkable strength emerging out of a desire to heal and forgive. Yanah sang the song and forty children aged 6 to 14 belonging to the Mozaiek choir participated in the recording. A string quartet arrangement was added as the final touch to the piano song.
The single CD is released on the Flying Snowman Records label. All profits of the song were and are still given to The KIM Foundation International. You can learn more in the original blog post. In 2023 the song was featured in the melodious documentary The Vietnam War soundtrack for BBC World Service (at 46:08).
