about

This is the first release and single of the album Soul Pandemic by Jacob Acosta. This first song  of the album is a tribute and homage to Bob Dylan's original 'The Times They Are-A Changin'. The modified lyrical verses are anchored in the current echoed voice of 2020's global pandemic, the Coronavirus (COVID-19). The soundbytes and songs by the Italian singers throughout are a mirror of the reactions and information being shared in real time. The folk and lo-fi songwriter style is intermixed with distortions and frequencies that seek to draw the feelings of the collective world pulse and capture the turbulence of the moment we are all now collectively sharing. My wish in writing this is to illuminate and unite those with a feeling of compassion as a human race through this historic moment in our existence.

lyrics

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you are
And admit that your fear, has escaped from its jar
And accept that real soon
You'll seek hope from the stars
‘Cause to your time, to you, is worth saving
Oh my brothers and sisters, we’re all counting on you
For the times they are a-changin

Come writers and critics
The fake and the true
Can you tell us a story, that’s finally good news
And if you don’t speak up
Will the emptiness prove
That we all were fools, just complaining
Will loser now still be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'

Come senators, and congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't you stand in the doorway
While we take the fall
For those who despair
Need you now most of all
There's a battle inside of us ragin’
While it’s shaking your spine
And just rattles your mind
Oh the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout this land
Don’t you worry, but fight for, what you still understand
For your sons and your daughters
On you, they depend
So your wisdom, you can’t be restraining
If you can't lend a hand, then find someone who can
For the times they are a-changin'

Don’t let just the leaders, be the line in the sand
For the sick and the dying, need somewhere to stand
If you don’t fight for love and life on this earth
Well the order’ll keep rapidly fadin'
And it won’t matter then who’s first or who’s last
For the times they are a-changin'
