If there’s anything we can take solace in during a global crisis, it’s that dark times breed lasting art. Always has. Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong revolutionized jazz during the Great Depression. The Civil Rights movement gifted the world Nina Simone. Train released Drops of Jupiter when Becca Davidson dumped me for my best friend in eighth grade.
The Tom Hanks Disease (THD-19) is no different.
The pain and solitude brought forth by this contagion has birthed music that will define what promises to be a trying time in our history.
Here are the defining sounds of a crisis.
