about

This song began as an imagined T-shirt, with "I heard immunity in the melody" inscribed on the front, and "music is an essential business" on the back. Then I realized it was a song too. T-shirt has yet to be made. Video for this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT2qLMj9bF8&list=RDMM&start_radio=1

lyrics

Heard Immunity (November 2020)

Sometimes the news is a little bit grimmer
The shine on my shoes a little bit dimmer
Crowds are swarming, tempers simmer
Rumors flyin’, omens warn
Leaders lyin’, friends are dyin’
Oceans warming, coming storm

I heard immunity in the melody
I found the remedy in the rhyme
I heard immunity in the melody
That’s what’s keepin’ me alive

Sometimes I catch reality slipping
Stumbling, wondering whether I’m tripping
At our corner of this multiverse
Could be better, could be worse
Are we blessed or are we cursed?
At the broken edge of the flattened curve

I heard immunity in the melody
I found the remedy in the rhyme
I heard immunity in the melody
That’s what’s keepin’ me alive

We’re all in the same boat, clinging to hope
Singing to just keep afloat

I heard immunity in the melody
I found the remedy in the rhyme
I heard immunity in the melody
That’s what’s keepin’ me alive
It’s keepin’ you and me alive
