Trending in Europe...

Flash mobs are sprouting up everywhere in Europe in peaceful protest against Coronavirus restrictions. Governments are slowly reopening and the yearlong confinement is taking a toll not only on the service industry, but again on the performing arts. 

At the Gare du Nord terminal in Paris, trained opera singers joined in, as well as professional musicians. They have a peculiar unified message that is propagating like wildfire. This is what the chorus could look like in North America:

Dance again

We continue to dance again

watch our thoughts engulf our bodies

bet our lives in common accords,

saying, O no, no, no, no, no, no, no !

we are birds that flew by,

neither obedient, nor wise.

We have no allegiance,

by dawn, in all circumstance,

we're coming to break the silence,

And when at nightfall on TV,

his majesty the king spoke,

to announce the verdict...

we will pay no attention,

but always with elegance,

saying, O no, no, no, no, no, no, no !

We continue to dance again

watch our thoughts engulf our bodies

bet our lives on common accords

saying, O no, no, no, no, no, no, no !

We continue to dance again,

watch our thoughts engulf our bodies,

bet our lives on common accords,

cars, trains, work and consumption,

prepared statement, rules,

absurdities by decree,

And beware to those with powers of thought !

And beware to those who dance !

Every authoritarian decision.

Every security measure,

see our confidence fly away,

They show such determination,

to bury our conscience,

we say, O no, no, no, no, no, no, no !
