The Corona Song
March 2020, national lockdown
April 2020, a Facebook post caught my attention
About creating a song
To show that we are together
Share our struggles
Spread love
And inspire
I am immediately hooked and want to take part in this project. We end up being a bit less than 10 people from different countries and musical backgrounds. We meet weekly via Zoom and brainstorm about what we could create. One particular week we were assigned to make individually a small demo to discuss it with the group and come to a common project. The concept was that each of us recounts the lockdown experience from one particular person’s point of view.
Unfortunately, that project did not succeed. You can still find the a cappella demo I made back then here below.
Lyrics
It’s 7 AM anew
Snoozing as a cop-out move
The alarm rings it’s not a cue
To forget what we’re going through
Finally getting out of the sheets
Wishing to stay forever in dreams
Stuck in an uncertain rut
While always dreading for our future
Shower, breakfast, work non-stop
Cooking, Netflix, chat and sport
Although virtually connected
Still missing banter face to face
Now, back to your single bed
Not knowing when this will end
And it’s not easy for anyone
And it’s not because we’re all apart
That we should forget that we are one
And we are gonna fight this, strong
