This horrible virus has hit home and I have family suffering as a result. This week has been one of the worst of my life. I feel this lingering sadness watching those around me suffering and not being able to get near them to help.
I decided to listen to new music and write a review in an attempt to break out of this spell. I went to sound cloud and searched for a COVID playlist. I was actually looking for a song that summed up all my anger and sadness related to this virus. Instead, I found the reworks of a song that was popular years ago.
The original song, Love me Again, sang by John Newman is about pleading for someone to love them again after they seemingly made a mistake. Applying this to the current circumstance, I took this message as “can we pick back up where we left off a month ago”?
For the most part we have not seen friends or family in over a month. Who knows when we will reconvene with everyone and I am worried I may fall out of touch with some friends. This song offered a lot of empowering energy that I felt I needed to get me through. It also made me think about friendship dynamics after a long pause like this. “What did we miss?” or “Why didn’t you reach out?” sort of thing.
Sometimes its fun to hear something new and make lemonade out of lemons by changing the meaning and interpretation of a song to fit current situations.
