On Thursday night, thousands of locals sang “New York, New York” to support the Big Apple caregivers.
A moment of sharing and emotion. On Thursday night, at their window, New Yorkers were called to sing in support of caregivers who are currently battling the coronavirus. And it is obviously the title of Frank Sinatra “New York, New York” which was chosen. This initiative was launched by the volunteer project “Peace of Heart Choir“, created after the 9/11 attacks and intended to bring joy to music to those in need.” We play for free dozens of times each year in hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, etc. . We hope that singers from all over town will join us for this new project. Just sing through the open window when the song invites you. Or sing along from your patio, balcony, front yard or just in your living room. But sing along. ! ”, We could read Wednesday on the Facebook page of the group, when he announced this event.
Until then, like in many major cities around the world, New Yorkers were invited to applaud frontline staff. “It’s an iconic song” with “a real message about getting out,” Robert Hornsby, a choir manager, told AFP. “There’s even a passage that says, ‘Come on, you can do it, New York,’ and that’s where I think we’re all in. That’s why we chose it (…) and if you don’t know the lyrics, you can just go back to the parts you know ”.
The epidemic appears to have stabilized in New York State, after infecting more than 213,000 people and killing more than 11,500 people, but Governor Andrew Cuomo however extended the containment measures on Thursday until May 15. Some businesses may remain closed until July.
