PERFORMERS

Thank you for being part of the project. We are asking you all to record and submit your performance. You don't have to be a recording artist, we want all walks of life to show the NHS workforce that we care.

Recording is easy, simply follow these steps:

1. Wear something blue

2. Plug your earphones into the separate device you are playing the song from.

3. Use your smartphone/camera to film your performance (make sure it's in landscape mode and just your head and shoulders within the frame. You need to be close enough to the microphone to pick up your beautiful voice! If there is more than one of you make sure you are both the same distance from the camera. Use the lyrics provided below.

4. Once you have recorded yourself...email your video to mail@purdymusic.co.uk via Wetransfer

LYRICS (UPDATED)

Please sing the chorus (IN CAPITALS) unless we have allocated you a particular line.

Every day I feel my heart beat out a warning
Knowing that you have to go and I must stay
When i think of our goodbyes
I can't wait to close my eyes
Cause in my dreams I see you coming home
You're not alone

Oh my darling all the nights are long without you
When it's only hope that keeps you safe from harm
And I won't let them forget those forever in your debt
About the sacrifices that were made to keep us safe

SO THIS IS THE SONG TO REMIND US
HOW CLOSE THAT WE CAME TO DANGER
AND EVERY TIME THAT WE WEAKEN
WE'LL PLAY IT AND SWAY
THIS IS THE SONG TO REMIND US
HOW CLOSE THAT WE CAME TO DANGER
AND EVERY TIME THAT WE PLAY IT
OUR HEARTS WILL BE BRAVE

And when you're out there
And you feel afraid or alone
Know that I am here for you my dear
Keep holding on
We must be strong
