Covers & Blankets benefit 2021 "New Song" cover. Daniel Flynn and Viola Rose

Daniel Flynn and Viola Rose contributed a cover song for the annual Covers & Blankets in 2021 (cover songs for blankets for homeless youth) enjoy our little offering of Howard Jones "new song". the lyrics felt especially relevant to share at this time.

"I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear

This is a song to all of my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains"
