In his brand new single "I", Merv Pinny captures
the joy we have all felt through reconnection after lockdown
Across the globe, many of us were kept behind closed doors and distanced from lovers, friends and extended family for weeks and for some, even months. That joy and freedom that has been felt by many when finally released from our caves has now been turned into a catchy and up-beat song by social action rocker Merv Pinny.
In this new track, Pinny's catchy groove and soulful voice captures the mood shared by thousands around the world as they put the 2020 lockdown behind them.
With the help of actors from local theatre and drama company Stage Door and filmed in Pinny's hometown of Kerikeri in New Zealand, a music video for this release has been created.
With many restrictions, no money, but plenty of time, it was made for the love of art and keeping art alive. The video will make you smile from the opening line as it makes fun of the situation which has seen many of us spend all day in our favourite pyjamas, to then picking up the pieces of our lives as we head out into the big wide world without looking too crazy.
New Zealand has lead the world in Covid19 recovery, but we all felt a bit stir crazy while in the total lockdown.
It's been a busy and creative time for Merv Pinny recently, with another lockdown recording to be released hot on the heels of this one
