To wishfully launch us into an optimistic and brighter new year, singer songwriter David Ford has granted us a small screen operatic ballad of coronavirus sparring hope. Recalling, over piano and violin, finer days of “Rock’n’Roll/soda pop and Philly soul”, the latter-day troubadour considers the stunting impact of the virus, “a thousand dumb conspiracies” and the militant hope we are all pinning on the “two shots of Astra-Zeneca” (let’s choose to ignore the fact that he’s probably queuing up for a third by now).
Accompanied by a black and white live performance promo vid, the single is out now for you to stream at all the usual outlets. You can buy it on bandcamp along with the entirety of his marvellous solo output and you can watch the video below:
