As Corona hit the world with a new challenge, images, words and music came together. #coronadiary is a singer-songwriter musical tale contemplating the pandemic situation early 2020 - "don't go elsewhere for answers to the questions at hand ...".

lyrics

#coronadiary
(Words & music: Andreas Oetker-Kast)

Now that life as we know it
has come to a halt
and the pride of creation
is sent to it's stall
In the corner stands Lucifer
rubbing hands with a grin
for his bittersweet harvest
has already begun

Give me your tired, your poor
huddled masses still clapping
for the ones standing guard
against the advances I'm making
But your system is broken
it's a game you can't win
for your life's just a token
and you're betting all in

Chasing dreams of a promise
creating a world of ill fate
where the ones who have nothing
find it hard to relate
to the others who're worried
about how to arrange
singing songs about peace and love
and times that would change

What if John would be here
and imagine today
How many dreams more to dream
before we call it a day
How many roads more to walk down
before we would know
that the winds we've been listening to
are not watching our show

And if that's quite a scare
to have on your hands
don't come knocking on doors
if you don't understand
Take a good look around you
and see what's at stake
For the answer my friend
is all on your plate

So the world as we knew it
it might never come back
don't go elsewhere for answers
to the questions at hand
Take a good look around you
and see what's at stake
For the answer my friend
is all on your plate
