We hope to see everyone in our wonderful industry travelling once again very soon!
What do you get when travel industry members are in lock down in Singapore for more than 73 days in isolation? A cracking song that should be number one in the hit charts is what you get. Accor has gone beyond offering accommodation experiences around the globe to putting together the “Accor All Stars” and delivering their first song production, with the one-world-hit-wonder “Will we travel once again?”.
The song, with words written by Cynthia Dammerer, and supported by Accor's teams and staff across the network, is sung by Accor's own Veronique Nel, and charts the fears and feelings of all the wonderful Accor staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lyrics by Cynthia Dammerer here in case you want to sing along too!
WILL WE TRAVEL ONCE AGAIN?
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
We know…
It was in China for some time
We were carefree and blasé
We'd go to bars and hip cafes
YOLO...
Now we've got it coming!
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the pain
Who do we trust
If we've never seen the pain?
Well just you wait
And soon you'll see…
They said it's just an Asian flu
Nothing much the world could do
Wash your hands…
N' sanitise and wear your masks
So we did, and we survived
And now the world is on its side
But in…
A giant fiscal down slide
I wanna know
Have you ever seen this pain
I wanna know
China, Italy then Spain
Loved ones gone…all dead in vain
Drink Dettol, seek bright lights
WHO to believe for true insight (see what we did there….WHO)
Fake news!
Shut it down and stay at home!
Politicians blamed the crowds
Cruise liners were not allowed
Our jobs, they were gone like water…
We all wanna know
Will we ever fly again?
We all wanna know?
Can we hug and kiss again?
N' feeling free
With no disdain
But now we find our planet's blue
Oceans found time, to re-new
We knew,
We'd mistreated nature too
The world is new for me and you
But we are strong, our human zoo
I know
Surviving all this madness
We wanna know,
Who you'll hug and kiss again?
We all wanna know
Can we just go vaccinate
Or do we wait?
And fight it through
Yeah yeahhh
I wanna know
Fight or swallow all our pain
I wanna know
Will you walk with me again
N' feeling safe… and so care free
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
We know…
It was in China for some time
We were carefree and blasé
We'd go to bars and hip cafes
YOLO...
Now we've got it coming!
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the pain
Who do we trust
If we've never seen the pain?
Well just you wait
And soon you'll see…
They said it's just an Asian flu
Nothing much the world could do
Wash your hands…
N' sanitise and wear your masks
So we did, and we survived
And now the world is on its side
But in…
A giant fiscal down slide
I wanna know
Have you ever seen this pain
I wanna know
China, Italy then Spain
Loved ones gone…all dead in vain
