They reached back in time to the classic Bridge Over Troubled Water, added some rap with a focus on community to personalise it, and found a galaxy of current British singers (plus Roger Daltrey) and a children's choir, to give voice to it.
I feel emotionally wrung out after watching the result:

Lyrics and Voices:
Yeah, I don't know where to begin
So I'll start by saying I refuse to forget you
I refuse to be silenced
I refuse to neglect you
Thats for every last soul up in Grenfell even though Ive never even met you
That could have been my mums house, or that could have been my nephew
Now that could have been me up there
Waving my white plain T up there
All my friends on the ground trying a see up there
I just hope that you rest and youre free up there
I cant feel your pain but its still what it is
Went to the block just to chill with the kids
Troubled waters come running past
I'ma be right there just to build you a bridge, yo [Stormzy]
When youre weary [Robbie Williams]
Feeling small [James Blunt]
When tears are in [Rita Ora] your eyes [Craig David]
I will dry them all [Dan Smith Bastille]
Im on your side [Liam Payne]
When times get rough [Emeli Sande]
And friends just cant be found [Kelly Jones]
Like a bridge over troubled water [Paloma Faith]
I will lay me down [Louis Tomlinson]
Like a bridge over troubled water [Labrinth]
I will lay me down [Jorja Smith]
So much pain in my heart
My community's moving me
Choose to gleam as we're facing the dark [Louis Rei WSTRN]
When youre down and out [Leona Lewis]
When youre on the street [Jessie J]
When evening falls so hard [James Arthur]
I will comfort you [Roger Daltrey]
Ill take your part [Ella Eyre]
When darkness comes [Anne Marie and Ella Henderson]
And pain is all around [Louisa Johnson]
Like a bridge over troubled water [Robbie Williams, all voices]
I will lay me down [James Arthur]
Like a bridge over troubled water [Choir]
I will lay me down [Rita Ora]
I feel emotionally wrung out after watching the result:
