Take Care Of Each Other captures one of the fundamental gifts of humanity: being kind to one another. I was reading through a charged social media conversation and a friend had waded in, offering, "I don't know why we can't just be nicer to each other." Another friend responded, "Yes, we just need to take care of each other." My hope is that we look beyond our friends and family to see the common struggle we all share. There's enough resources for all of us and we can be inclusive and generous even in trying times.
Six musicians spread between LA and Milwaukee recorded the song in isolation in March OF 2020. Fellow Cheesehead Bon Iver captures the spirit of recording this way when he says, "Though apart, we're never alone. The strength of collaboration and community remains strong as ever."
lyrics
Let’s take care of each other
Sisters and brothers we got to try
Let’s take care of each other
Got your back covered every time
In times of worry
You wonder what you can do
Reach out to one another
Let them know you’ll help them through
In a world so full of trouble
We need something to hold on to
Take my hand and together
Together we’ll show the world what we can do
Let’s take care of each other
Sisters and brothers this is the time
Let’s take care of each other
No matter the number we got to try
Let’s take care of each other
Sisters and brothers we got to try
Let’s take care of each other
Got your back covered every time
