Press Release | Ghostly War - Joanne Staples

Sales Director and Film Composer couple write  Coronavirus song anthem during lockdown. 

(Manchester, United Kingdom)

22nd April 2020

Joanne Staples, Sales Director and mother of two has written and produced an uplifting, emotional and empowering song alongside her Film Composer partner, Jon Brooks, during the Coronavirus lockdown.

Together for 18 months, being on lockdown was the first opportunity they had experienced to be creative together due to busy schedules. Initially, the track started as a fun project to ward off watching TV but the concept quickly evolved into much more… a musical message of hope and reassurance for everyone during this difficult time. When they posted it on YouTube and Facebook, their aim was to inspire friends and family; but it is now growing in popularity, and gaining radio play in the USA for audiences around the world.

LYRICS

----- Verse 1 -----
Breathe, just keep breathing
Just keep going, time to face a new day
On we go, coming together
In these strange times
Alone, scared, fear building inside of all of us
Tears, pain, when will this all end?

----- Chorus -----
We’ll fight this together,
With love and compassion.
Whatever the reason,
We’ll win this ghostly war.
United we’ll stand tall.
Brave people, hear our call.
Whatever we’re facing,
We’ll win this ghostly war.

----- Verse 2 -----
Breath don’t stop moving.
You can do this, the sun will always shine.
Hope is in our children, so hold them tight.
Love, peace, joy, inside of all of us.
Change, forever, nothing will ever be the same.

----- Chorus -----
We’ll fight this together,
With love and compassion.
Whatever the reason,
We’ll win this ghostly war.
United we’ll stand tall.
Brave people, hear our call.
Whatever we’re facing,
We’ll win this ghostly war.

----- Instrumental -----

----- Chorus -----
We’ll fight this together,
With love and compassion.
Whatever the reason,
We’ll win this ghostly war.
United we’ll stand tall.
Brave people, hear our call.
Whatever we’re facing,
We’ll win this ghostly war.

With love and compassion,
We'll win this ghostly war.

Coronavirus Lockdown - The effects on animals.

Lockdowns due to Coronavirus have kept millions of people in their homes — and social distancing measures meant to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus — have brought clear skies, quiet streets and tranquil shores. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO4NZXJJYz8 These are challenging times for humanity. But for many of Earth's other inhabitants, there's a silver lining. Many animals that have become habituated to humans especially for food are having a bad time. Would request people moving out incase of emergencies to carry some biscuits / food if possible for these animals and to leave water bowls at the gate. The lockdowns have however affected not just human beings but the animals on the streets too who find themselves hungry and destitute in these trying times.

The video feature's Jon Brooks' relaxing music 'Seventh Heaven'.
