Droom ons
In die eerste maande van grendeltyd kon ek nie myself sovêr kry om te skryf of skep nie, ek was lamgelê. Ek was en is steeds verbysterd deur hoe die hele pandemie uitspeel wêreldwyd, hoe ons almal hierdie gedeelde trauma beleef. Wat my opgeval het tydens gesprekke met familie en vriende was dat so baie van ons- selfs al woon ons kontinente apart- dieselfde tipe drome droom, 'n soort swerm-mentaliteit of anders gestel, 'n kollektiewe bewussyn vanweë ons wêreldwye, universele gedeelde belewenisse van Covid-19 en die meegaande kwarantyn-ervaring. Hierdie gedagte was die uiteindelike sneller vir die lied.
This song was conceptualized in August during the Covid-19 lock down. After talking with friends and family I came to realize many of us are dreaming the same kind of dreams even though we live continents apart. A swarm mentality, a collective consciousness of sorts stemming from our shared, worldwide, universally shared experience of the pandemic and the lock down. The closed captions are not a literal, or ideal translation - however should give you the gist of the lyrics.
