In dark times, the task isn’t to pretend the dark isn’t there — it’s to stay human inside it.
Brecht’s reminder lands hard and true:
We don’t sing to escape the dark.
We sing about it — to name what hurts, what’s breaking, and what still matters.
Honest sound keeps us from collapsing into numbness or denial.
It’s how we stay connected to each other when everything pulls toward isolation.
Sing the truth, not the distraction.
