What's a blessing that you feel has emerged? I think we've been looking at more of the blessings than what's wrong with it. Norman Spence: Just being home and being kind of stuck there - especially as a father, you know, it's hurting the kids a lot. Norman, what part of what Tank is saying relates most closely to you and what you've been through? The city couldn't celebrate him we had to mourn in quiet. And when he died, he didn't get the casket in the air, he didn't get the horns and the dancing in the street. And I gather the death of Ellis Marsalis, the great New Orleans jazz player, also hit pretty hard.īall: In New Orleans, we really like to almost celebrate death after we mourn - you know, we put the casket in the air, especially when it's somebody that's really influential in the city. You lost two people in your own circle to COVID-19, young friends of friends. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Hear their conversation at the audio link, and read on for an edited transcript. Asked to compose some music that put her feelings about the words into words, singer Tarriona "Tank" Ball responded with a song simply called "Feelings."ĭavid Greene spoke with Ball and her bandmate Norman Spence earlier this month, as a hurricane was pounding much of the Gulf Coast, about writing a song in the shadow of death and unrest, including one loss that hits close to home. When NPR first approached the band over the summer, the pandemic and the George Floyd protests were dominating the news. The Morning Edition Song Project, in which musicians compose an original song about the COVID-19 era, returns this week with New Orleans group Tank and the Bangas. Their new track for Morning Edition's Song Project was inspired by a collective feeling of restlessness in the COVID-19 era.
