Watch #icantkeepquiet, the incredible song that's going viral after the Women's March

Of the many, many highlights that came out of the global Women's March on Saturday – the banners, the politically-engaged children, the speeches – one that has really left a lasting impression is an a capella song performed by women who had never met before.
"These women are from different states and never met till today," Har'el wrote in her original post on Sunday. "They practiced this song online. I was crying the whole time I filmed this. Show them some love."
The video of the song, which was composed and arranged by the artist MILCK has now been viewed almost 8 million times.
MILCK organised the #icantkeepquiet choir from a group of 26 women from LA and Washington, including the GW Sirens a cappella group from George Washington University.
MILCK told Buzzfeed that she had originally written the song, Quiet, after Trump's election as part of a way to heal from depression, anorexia and sexual abuse.
“Then I thought it would be really powerful if there was a group of women singing it together,” she said.
The choir practiced online over Skype, meeting once before the march, with some singers only meeting for the first time at the march.
It's a gorgeous song, and it's rightly becoming heralded as an iconic moment.
