This video was made by dancers from different continents filming themselves in their confinement with their personal phones and computers.
It was made in the first week of April while almost 2 billion people around the globe were unable to move freely due to the restrictions imposed in attempt to prevent the spread of the Corona Virus.
I found so much beauty in the need of people to keep on playing music from their balconies or dance together through virtual meeting applications… To simultaneously succumb to and transcend earthly limitations by artistic endeavours.
These are stressful times, and maybe it helps to remember that we are all a part of a mutual story.
An experience of searching for meaning and control in this storm of a life.
We all go through this one way or another.
And in that… We are not alone.
This is our Odyssey.

LYRICS -
Wake up from your sleep, take a deep
breath and let it all out
Tear away your dreams by the seams
and throw them about
Fall back to your corner, it’s over
the game was rigged from the start
Hold your body, embrace it, and taste it
as it’s falling apart
Something out of nothing
Still amounts to nothing - at all
Oh no, you’re not that strong
Something out of nothing
Still amounts to nothing - at all
Let’s run and run and run and run
Get down from your feet take a seat
And watch it go by
Spend away your years through your fears
And let it all fly
Something out of nothing
Still amounts to nothing - at all
Oh no, you’re not that strong
Something out of nothing
Still amounts to nothing - at all
Let’s run and run and run and run
Emancipated and sedated
Can’t you tell?
Dilapidated, consecrated
To the art of singing –
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
the world is spinning under
And everybody’s singing to their graves
And the world keeps spinning on
We’re all racing to a point of no return
Keep singing like there’s no tomorrow
#StayHome
