‘Unsung Heroes’ The purpose of this project is to say thank you to the many unsung heroes of this current crisis; it’s about heralding the frontline workers, those who day in and day out risk and sometimes lose their lives in their passionate endeavour to heal the sick. In saying thank you, this song is also a celebration of these individuals who are working to meet people’s needs. We appreciate you, we rejoice that you are there for us, and we want to encourage you to keep working for the love of people. Most of all, we want you to understand that your hard work does not go unnoticed. We see you. As we were working remotely, Tony, Martin and I had to use the software and resources we had available to create a song that would effectively say thank you. It wasn’t easy. Much of the composition and arranging necessarily took place via Skype – so, thank you Skype. Most of all, the successful completion of this project relied on the gracefulness and efforts of all the individuals

Help Us Say Thank You

Beloved, I hope you are keeping safe during this testing time. This period of challenge that we are experiencing as a global family has opened our eyes to the unifying nature of struggle and the importance of putting a metaphorical arm around each other. Suddenly materialism doesn't mean as much, but song can give us the boost of hope we need to make it through. 1000s of medical staff and workers on the front line have been exposed to this virus and are courageously battling daily to help in the efforts to stop the spread.  As a team, we have been  working on a song to say thank you to these heroes. We would like to ask you to help to say thank you too. We are asking for your minds, talents and resources to spread this message of thanks all over the world so we can put our arms around the front line workers to say thank you. Please see YouTube link for the Music Video, 'Unsung Heroes'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IduA7jDgZOc Spread as far and

A big thank you

‘Unsung Heroes’ Lyrics

‘Unsung Heroes’ Lyrics Verse The virus came upon us like a storm Slammed into our lives at record speed Our world has its back to the wall Unsure of what it’ll take or need We’ve been told to stay at home Keep our distance from those we love Only to buy the bare essentials Put our faith in the heavens above Chorus But, hey, we have unsung heroes Humble folks who really care They don’t ask for praise or pity Only the hope that we’re aware of the risks that theyare taking those unsung heroes way out there Verse Doctors and nurses battling to save us Ambulance crews, and firefighters too Police, the Amy, and the Pharmacies stuck on the frontline for me and you Store cashiers, and public transport staffers are not always able to wear a mask but like cleaners and other careworkers their hearts are devoted to the task Chorus See, these are our unsung heroes Humble folks who really care They don’t ask for praise or pity Only the ho

‘HERO IN A PINK PINAFORE’ by Rowan Marcus

‘HERO IN A PINK PINAFORE’ by Rowan Marcus Glennys arched her aching back and prepared for the night’s shift. It would be a long one. She was on the deep-clean crew, tasked with cleaning the Intensive Care Unit overnight. A shudder went down her bending spine as she thought about the invisible enemy that was not just theoretically everywhere, but here in actual fact. The doors she was about to push open were filled with patients who not only had Coronavirus, but for whom the battle had now become serious. The ward would be swimming with the virus – and it was her task to eliminate as much of it as possible, her weapons an artillery of mops, gloves, masks, cloths and bleach.  “Why do you do it?” someone had asked her the day before. “It’s not as if you are even paid well.” “I’m here to look after the patients,” she had replied with all the conviction of a doctor. After all, if the cleaners did not clean, the hospital could not open at all. The virus that resisted attempts t
