A Love Song for the Covid Age?

I don’t have HBO so I’ve not seen or even heard of “Succession”. But one of it’s leading men, played by Nicholas Braun, has been busy in his quarantine time.

Braun took to his social media to ask fans for some help in construction a song. Not just any song, but a love song placed in the Covid-19 world of social distancing.

“I was back there sort of being like, ‘Man, I wish I had somebody right now to go through this with. And so this girl and I were talking and we were like, ‘Maybe we should go meet up and go for a walk . . . with bandanas on.’  So I went on this quarantine date.  It sort of felt secret because I didn’t want my friends to know.  And I guess the combination of paranoia and romance is what the song is about.”

Braun had the lyrics in place and asked the masses to help with the music. After a multitude of submissions, here is Braun’s masterpiece.

Admit it, it’s catchy AF!

Braun, by the way, was just nominated on Tuesday for an Emmy for his role as Greg in “Succession”. After watching this trailer, it looks intriguing!
