Murray Foster, bassist for Great Big Sea, has launched a songwriting program to support front-line professionals in high-stress workplaces and people who have experienced trauma or loss
“We met for four weeks and wrote the song and I recorded it and sent it to them,” Foster said. “They played it at their workplace and apparently everyone was crying at their desks.”
Foster then asks participants to make a list of words that come to mind when thinking about their workplace. “What they don’t even realize are the layers of trauma that they carry until they hear that song. So that is the process. There are a lot of people, especially [as a result of the] pandemic, who are carrying a lot of trauma but have no way to process it and no time to process it because they have to wake up and go to their job every day. And the job doesn’t allow for them to go have a cry in the broom closet.
