I just recorded my first parody — creating clever, heartfelt art is helping me cope with our changing world. Several members of my family are medical professionals, on the front lines — and a member of our own family passed away from COVID-19 only a few days ago. There is suffering all around us from dear ones lost to those we love facing financial crisis. (The new song I’m writing right now explores this suffering, and I’ll be sharing that next week…)
Now back to this song, Why Corona. These lyrics were written by my oh-so-amazing hubby, to express his frustrations and fears, but also in an attempt to cathartically add a little humor to this dire situation we’re facing. It is a parody of The Knack’s My Shirona, and I really enjoyed singing and recording it. I hope it brings a smile to your face, even in this challenging times. A special thanks to Kara Square for incredible video production! Her skills are unmatched, and she is a real joy to create with. Stay healthy and safe my friends. Peace.
