JUST WORRY, ANXIETY

There was an official city event in my town, called Easter Inspirations. Local marketplace with easter stuff, families, live music. And there was this duo of young people playing cover version of Bobby McFerrin’s Don’t worry, be happy. 

But…

Their version was in minor tune (so it sounded sad) and the lyrics was changed to

„Just worry,
anxiety.“ 

And in the sunny day and easter atmosphere it hit hard. Young people were telling the world: we’re gonna take this symbol of happiness and stuck it up your throat because we’re not fucking happy. 

The moment they sang it while boomers were drinking beers not exactly realizing what is happening, was powerful. That was a moment only music can create.
