‘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 who were part of it. Thank you.

‘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

James- The Volunteer (narrative) by Rowan Marcus

JAMES – THE VOLUNTEER by Rowan Marcus James had been looking forward to a well-earned break; he had been on placement for 6 weeks now, and he was exhausted. It was what he had always wanted; he had, after all, just spent the better part of 4 years of his life studying in order to become a trained and registered doctor in a hospital – but a short respite would certainly be welcome before the final plunge into the chaotic world of emergency medicine.  Then Covid came, and everything changed. * * * * * * * * * * * * His graduation had been the first change. Instead of sitting in an auditorium with hundreds of other students graduating alongside him, he had sat alone in his lounge room in front of a screen, finishing his course with a Zoom rather than a bang. Instead of an afterparty lasting far into the night, he was in bed with the first of the stars, because he needed to be up before the rising of the sun. Like many of his fellow students, he was now in between t
