The Other Side (of the Flattened Curve) Know the curve that kills Culls the herd with skill Can frighten, freeze and fell the breath But know that it can flatten widen the gap that happens Between our species’ life and death So keep your distance And I’ll see you on the other end A sane resistance And I’ll see you on the other end My friend A long time coming long time humming This damned elusive Pimpernel It won’t distinguish Western style from English But agitate all in its swell So keep your distance And I’ll see you on the other end A sane resistance And I’ll see you on the other end My friend So know that it can flatten widen the gap that happens Between our species’ life and death So keep your distance And I’ll see you on the other end A sane resistance And I’ll see you on the other end My friend

about

This song was written and recorded while sheltering at home during the COVID-19 pandemic in Riverdale, Toronto with cameos from honorary Shiners, Dot Hwang and Emmanuel Szeptycki. We also created an accompanying homespun lyric video. youtu.be/dJN1N-OLtxc

We ask, in lieu of payment for the download, that you please donate if you can to the Sunnybrook Foundation Covid-19 Response or to the Toronto Foundation for Student Success' Food for Kids Covid-19 Response at www.tfss.ca.

We have singled out these foundations, as they hit close to home... our Shiner bandmate, John, is a doctor at Sunnybrook Hospital and Dot (who plays keyboards on this tune) is an elementary school teacher at Rose Avenue Junior Pubic School here in Toronto. So it is with gratitude that we dedicate this song to both of them and to all the frontline workers and heroes - grocery clerks, nurses, public transports operators, garbage collectors and the like.
