The idea for The Atlantic Assembly was born during corona-lockdown when musicians saw all their gigs, rehearsals and lessons getting cancelled. Communication was possible exclusively online, and as a result my friends at the other side of the Atlantic suddenly felt just as nearby as my friends in Amsterdam.
Being isolated in our own homes, me and my musician friends from Mexico searched for alternative ways to keep on making music and to stay inspired. So I invited them to play along on one of my songs, while every one recorded their part in their home studio.
Although we are facing a massive economic crisis now because of COVID-19, I think we should be careful not to let this overshadow the even more serious and destructive crises that are ahead of us: Climate change and the loss of biodiversity. I wrote Wholeheartedly with that thought in mind.
Lyrics:
Hey, welcome to this world, You’ve been here before
You won’t remember a thing, That’s how we play this game once more
They have made you a plan, But what reigns is your free will
So it’s up to you to decide what you do with your time here before it’s
Too late
To find
Salvation
and peace of mind
Open up your eyes to see that we are wandering, lost track of where we
Should be heading if we want to wake up totally, wholeheartedly
Open up your eyes to see that we are wandering, lost track of where we
Should be heading if we want to wake up totally, wholeheartedly
Hey, look upon this world, And ask yourself once more
Is it worthwhile to preserve, For future creatures to explore
Or even for yourself, If you want to visit back
Wouldn’t it be a shame to find out that this place had shut down cause it was
Too late
To find
Salvation
and peace of mind
Open up your eyes to see that we are wandering, lost track of where we
Should be heading if we want to wake up totally, wholeheartedly
Open up your eyes to see that we are wandering, lost track of where we
Should be heading if we want to wake up totally, wholeheartedly
