With everything thing – big and small – we’ve lost during these days of confinement and that we will lose in the days to follow, I have constantly turned to music: to make domestic choirs and exercise bearable; to sneak in moments of joy with housemates and neighbors; to mute the fear and despair that invade my thoughts.
I keep thinking about Bob Marley’s greatest and most profound lyric:
One good thing about music: when it hits you feel no pain, so hit me with music!
Where would we be without music?
