Sunshine

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

“God, please watch over the doctors and nurses on the frontlines I can’t wait ‘till the clouds gone and we get sunshine” These are song lyrics by a rapper that I personally listen to.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

These lyrics are from the song “Sunshine” by rapper Young Dolph. This song was released near the beginning of the coronavirus era in April. During this time, I was longing for these difficult times to come to an end, despite them just beginning. I wondered when the sunshine would come back, when all the anxiety and grief would be replaced with relief and glee. The sunshine I had been longing for didn’t come as soon as I expected, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up hope just yet.
