Songs which describe the Pandemic & the Times we live in

The Bells of Rhymney (1958)
by Pete Seeger




Oh, what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
"Is there hope for the future?"
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
"Who made the mine owner?"
Say the black bells of Rhondda
"And who killed the miner?"
Say the grim bells of Blaina
"Throw the vandals in court"
Say the bells of Newport
"All will be well if, if, if, if, if-"
Say the green bells of Cardiff
"Why so worried, sisters, why?"
Say the silver bells of Wye
"And what will you give me?"
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
"Oh, what will you give me?"
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
"Is there hope for the future?"
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
"Who made the mine owner?"
Say the black bells of Rhondda
"And who killed the miner?"
Say the grim bells of Blaina
 


"
Just like the pied piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like Marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction"

Perfect.
 
...on a more positive note




...that's there's hope at the End of the Covid Tunnel
