All in it Together

from All in It Together by Dos Floris

about

I wrote "All in it Together" shortly after the COVID Lockdown began here in Italy after conversations with doctor & nurse friends of mine, and strangers in long queues outside of supermarkets. With such an overwhelming feeling of isolation, I wanted to bring a sense of togetherness and hope to people through music.

I posted a barebones video version of the song on social media and it got quite a lot of attention so I hatched an ambitious plan. I decided I wanted ALL proceeds from the song and accompanying video to go to the Musicians Union Hardship Fund and I then decided to get the community involved.

The result is a song sung by 34 people from around the UK and Europe and played by a 6 man virtual band. We have people from all walks of life -musicians, taxi drivers, carpenters, children, nurses, teachers and care home workers to name just a few - who have all come together in a time of distancing to lend their voices, artistic and musical expertise to help English musicians in need.

The 2 pieces of artwork used for the single cover are designed by 10 year old Francesca Hammond & American photographer Diane Powers. The mixing and mastering of song was also a pan European effort- it was mixed by a sound engineer in Barcelona, Spain and mastered by a mastering engineer in Bologna, Italy.

lyrics

The light coming off of the ambulance
Casts blue shadows on the pavement wall
While we're all standing like chess board pieces
Waiting to enter the store
Distance keep your distance
Don't kiss your friends hello
But I can't stop thinking about all the poor, sick, lonley souls

Who are stuck on the tenth floor of the hospital
And all the Doctors who haven't slept in weeks
All fighting something that they cannot see
And all the nurses who can't see their kids
Distance keep your distance
Don't kiss your friends hello
But remember that this world is beautiful
Remember that you're not alone, no

We're all in this together
Even though we have to keep apart
So I'll send you my love from wherever I am
Across sea and land to wherever you are

Yes, we're all in this together
Even though we have to keep apart
So I'll send you my love from wherever I am
Across sea and land to wherever you are

Oh, oh, oh, oh we'll sing all together from inside of our homes
Oh, oh, oh, oh and we'll keep singing until morning comes

Yes, we're all in this together
Even though we have to keep apart
So I'll send you my love from wherever I am
Across sea and land to wherever you are

Yes, we're all in this together
Even though we have to keep apart
So I send you my love from wherever I am
Across sea and land to wherever you are

To wherever you are
To wherever you are
To wherever you are
To wherever you are
To wherever you are
