If we could travel through time, we would surely do it.
At the moment, we’re stuck at home desperately trying to distract ourselves from the negativity that is going on outside. Some people are binge-watching all the shows on Netflix, and some are stuck endlessly scrolling through their social media. Either way, we are stuck in this endless loop because of a worldwide pandemic. People are saddened by the fact that their fun calendar was ruined. On the bright side, here are some artists willing to bring music into your homes.
For her part, Pink turned her home piano lessons into an Instagram live concert.
With this lockdown, Pink makes use of her time to pick up some new hobbies.
She always wanted to play the piano, so during quarantine, she gave herself some piano lessons!
The first song she learned was Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love,” and she treated her fans to a beautiful cover of it.
With that, her live-streamed piano lessons became a home concert show! Pink incorporated her own style into the cover, giving it a new and fresher vibe.
Her livestream was viewed by more than 3.4 million viewers!
Similarly, Chris Martin of Coldplay also got in on the action.
Martin set up his camera for a live stream on Instagram.
He explained the situation pretty simply:
“So, I’m on my own in my house and I was supposed to be with the band Coldplay, but we are stuck in different countries so we can’t play together.”
Fortunately, that didn’t stop him from bringing music to the masses!
Because of all the canceled plans, Martin improvised by taking song requests from his fans around the world with the hashtag “Together at Home.” Martin sang some Coldplay classics like “Clocks” and “Viva la Vida,” and he entertained over 4.7 million viewers in his 30-minute long live stream.
For his part, Keith Urban set up his warehouse as his stage.
In the same way, country singer-songwriter Keith Urban had his latest concert canceled… but he was not about to lose hope in giving his fans what they wanted. He turned his warehouse into a stage, and performed an impromptu show for an invisible audience.
Urban was accompanied by Jeff Linsenmaier on keyboard and percussion.
With 621,000 viewers watching on their screens, the concert was made more fun with the presence of Nicole Kidman dancing and singing along to Urban’s songs!
Beyond the pop music celebrities, even Yo-Yo Ma shared some songs of comfort to the internet.
On his social media, he shared clips performing classical music with the hashtag “songs of comfort.”
He tweeted a video of him with a caption saying:
“In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort.”
This urges musicians like him to help spread some of their music to give the world hope amidst the ongoing calamity. In all, we’re definitely thankful to have these talented musicians giving people across the globe a little entertainment. They are using their music to spread positivity and hope to lift our spirits during these challenging times.
Special thanks to all these talented musicians for these comforting performances!
