THE ONLY SOUND:
OF MUSICTAP TO LISTEN
TAP ON THIS ICON TO LISTEN TO THE TRACK ON EACH PAGE
Life without everyday sounds can
be boring and stressful. The banality
of quotidian sounds—the honks, the
sirens, the office chatter, the water-
cooler talk, the haggling at the
market, the romantic exchanges at
restaurants, the occasional jabbering
at a traffic light—is a necessary
leitmotif in our busy, workplace
lives. With the lockdown, there is a
deafening silence and it can lead to
a spike in anxiety.
Music, a heavenly, soul-cushioning sound, isn’t the obvious cure,
but it does have the ability to change our mood, soothe us and
inspire us and, most important, tamp down our anxiety levels.
U2 frontman Bono has penned “Let your Love be Known” inspired by Italians quarantined during the coronavirus outbreak.
The lyrics talk of isolation and fear and hope in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
You can’t touch but you can singAcross rooftopsSing down the phoneSing and promise me you won’t stopSing your love, be known, let your love be known.
