This song was written during the period called 'LOCKDOWN', a first time experience for the entire planet. The magnitude of the impact of the Covid-19 virus, still unfolding, will no doubt never be forgotten and take its place in the annals of history.
Although It's not about us is my most recent composition, this song is the first to be published on this blogsite Epitaph: on loss and finding. It makes a perfect launch for what is to come, as it tail-ends a trail of poetry, prose and LifeCycle songs written since 2015, following the theme of dealing with devastating loss, riding waves beyond our control and coming out on the other side, wherever that may be (sounds like the Covid scenario playing out).
Here they are documented as they stand; they served as a necessary outlet for myself at the time of writing (art offers its own healing space). Bearing in mind that we're not alone in suffering, perhaps others may find themselves nodding their heads as they consider some of the words as an Epitaph to the universal theme of great losing and even greater finding.
With humble acknowledgement of the great genius, JS Bach, my favourite of all composers. His haunting Fugue no 12 in F minor BWV881 is the springboard into this song. LifeCycle songs are written and recorded by myself with talented Tshego Makube taking up the vocals.
