I started this creative initiative aloneTOGETHER on Sydenham Club to give people a few minutes in their day to think of something else and to connect with others around the world in a creative way. It's working. This past week people made some incredible art, learnt new skills and wrote short stories. Currently I am receiving new music, mixes and recipes from inspired folks from all over. It truly lifted my spirits. Consider joining this week. It is also trying to raise awareness to WHO Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund. https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/donate
As part of the music challenge I've written a song. A song that tackles the oversight of mental well-being during a time when physical well-being is (justifiably) in focus. The solutions for the physical pandemic are simple. Perhaps that's why they aren't been taken so seriously. Who knows. If only the solutions for mental well-being were just as simple.
If the narrator of my song were to describe it he would say:
"I've been locked inside my head long before I was locked inside my room. What advice are we given about how to deal with this global crisis and all the negative thoughts that arise from say, the complacency of a government, irresponsibility of our fellow citizen, the rising death count or the suffering of the living?: Wash your hands, keep your distance. That's it. That's all. The song features an acoustic song with heavy echo symbolising the echos from all this information, some of it try but overwhelming some of it bullshit. It becomes noise and turbulence in the mind from over saturation. There is no clear sense of timing in the song as we are all uncertain about when this phase of our lives will end, if at all. The song is about frustration, apathy and self-expression. I hope you enjoy."
