about

From the early days of the pandemic, April 2020, when the medical profession was under siege and we were all scared and isolated. I initiated a project with 25 Gainesville (or Gainesville-rooted) musicians, including Ken Block of Sister Hazel, Chris DeMakes of Less Than Jake, and other local icons, to Band Together to make an uplifting video. We succeeded beyond my wildest dreams, thanks to the marvelous performances and giving spirit of our musical community (as far away as California!).

lyrics

On the Other Side (April 2020)

The mornings are much darker since the clocks were set ahead
The dawn is lost to shadow and I should be in bed
But I wander through this quiet world, adrift in isolation
Looking for a ray of hope in a desperate situation

But I’ll be waiting with both arms open wide
We’ll be stronger, grateful we survived
When our mettle has been tested and our tolerances tried
I’ll see you on the other side

You went to war without a shield, the generals left you there
The first line of defenders, disarmed and unprepared
And you rush through busy, crowded wards with poison in the hallways
And risk your life while we pretend that life’s the same as always

We’ll all be waiting with both arms open wide
You’ll be stronger, grateful to survive
Let’s put aside our anger, reach across the great divide
I’ll see you on the other side, I’ll see you on the other side

Will we recognize each other behind the mask, beneath the glove?
If we can’t hold one another, can we still hold on to love?
For all the lives we sacrificed at the altar to our pride
I’ll see you on the other side
