about

„Good Chore“ describes a day of a nurse during lock down. It was written during the first lockdown in Austria due to Covid in march 2019. With this Song I want to share a huge Thank you to all the nurses out there. I hope that with uprising attention nurses can get better access to vital equipment and pay and working conditions that reflect the high esteem that nurses are held in by general public.

Der Song „Good Chore“ wurde während des ersten Lockdowns in Österreich im März 2019 geschrieben und beschreibt den Tag einer Krankenschwester in dieser Zeit. Der Song soll dabei helfen, die Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen von Gesundheits- und Pflegehelferinnen sichtbar zu machen und dabei unterstützen ihre Arbeitssituation auf ein Niveau zu erheben, welches den unschätzbaren Wert ihrer Arbeit für unsere Gesellschaft widerspiegeln kann.

LYRICS

I wake up in a coat of warmth and peace,
through the window there’s just birds, trees and bees,
coffee´s good, kissing the kids good bye
walk my blocks in the morning red blue sky.
Put on my robe, my gloves, my mask
check who´s there and who has passed,
suffers alone or waits for a bed
tears start rolling looking ahead.

And so, I cry …

So I take what remains and go down the last floor,
and I push the cold body into the cold store,
and I push the next body into the cold store,
to get back to oxygen sound and my chore.

In between then time is weightless,
Cleaning, changing without any greatness,
Two trainees got sick at three
Four hours longer till I am free.

And so, I try …

So I take what remains and go down the last floor,
and I push the cold body into the cold store,
and I push the next body into the cold store,
to get back to oxygen sound and my chore.

Shift is over air´s fresh again,
my worn out body´s home, low by then
taking a shower feeling the beam,
after some time I fall asleep.

And then, I dream …

That I take what remains and go down the last floor,
and I push the cold body into the cold store,
and I push the next body into the cold store,
to get back to oxygen sound and my chore.
And tomorrow I´ll go back to do my good chore,
To push the next body into the cold store,
Lala laa la la laa la la laa la la laa,
Lala laa la la laa la la laa la la laa.
