John Paul Von Arx Releases New Music Video for Original Song, "He's Different”

Country artist and worship leader releases music video about brother with Down Syndrome to spread a pro-life message of hope.

John Paul Von Arx released the official music video for his original song "He's Different" on October 1, 2023. “He’s Different” is about John Paul’s youngest brother, Sam, who has Down Syndrome, and tells the story of how Sam is different than he is in all the best ways – in how he sees life with joy and simplicity and loves people unconditionally.

 

With both this song and the music video, John Paul wants to “bring hope to parents expecting a baby with Down Syndrome and express [his] solidarity with families of people with special needs. Far too often, there is a stigma surrounding people with special needs and [he wants] to combat and eliminate it and show their dignity to the world.”

John Paul chose to release the music video in October to coincide with both Down Syndrome Awareness Month and Respect Life Month.

 

“My brother Sam is the most peaceful and free person I know. I am thankful that he is different from me and am so grateful that I get to share his story. And … in doing so, I hope to share other families’ stories of having loved ones with special needs.”


John Paul hopes the message of this music video will spread person-to-person. Please help him spread this pro-life message of hope by sharing the video with anyone you think it will bless.
