Good morning Seattle, and welcome to the Tuesday edition of The Morning Show. This Danish artist composed this song in mid-March in response to the growing COVID-19 crisis: "Three days ago there was an announcement from the Danish government that they would take further actions to limit the spreading of COVID-19. Every day this past week has felt unreal, and it’s been hard to deal with the massive changes. The only way I could cope emotionally was by writing this song." Support her here: www.ohlandmusic.com
