Covid Eulogy- “Don’t Wait Up For Me”

Post by Drdrdaddeo »

“Don’t wait Up For Me” is a very moving original tribute to people who were dying of Covid-19. Initially composed by Dr. Kevin O’Neal (one of my former medical students and a very talented musician/composer/collaborator), his initial unrelated theme was completely rewritten by me to relate to the Covid pandemic. The song is lyrically mine, but Kevin and I co-worked the vocal harmonies, the bridge, the solo guitar chording and some of the musical arrangements. All the music and vocals were subsequently performed by Dr. O’Neal and recorded by me to MTS for ipad. I did the final MTS mixdown and mastering, which came out very nicely as a finished, copy-protected demo. A music producer in Cary, N. Carolina heard our demo, loved it, and offered to fully sponsor a complete re-recording of the song in a local professional recording studio. The YouTube link below is to the studio-completed version, which is virtually identical to the original MTS FOR IPAD version (and about the same level of quality with slightly more polished vocals). Sadly, the completed project took so long that the pandemic ended before the song had finished. Thus the market for Covid-related music had dried up and it was never circulated commercially. But it is a terrific song, beautifully composed, arranged and recorded….and if Covid ever returns, we may have a hit song on our hands.
