A Quarantine Anthem: The Plea to 'Stay Homa'
The song 'Stay Homa (Confination Song II) (feat. Sr. Wilson)' by STAY HOMAS is a heartfelt plea for people to stay home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lyrics are a mix of English, Catalan, and Spanish, reflecting the multicultural background of the band, which hails from Barcelona. The song's primary message is clear: staying home is crucial to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The repeated refrain, 'Please stay homa, please stay home,' emphasizes the urgency and importance of this action.
The song also touches on the everyday realities and challenges of quarantine life. Lines like 'If you need it go to Mercadouna' and 'There's no toilet paper innadi zouna' humorously highlight the scarcity of essential items and the limited outings to grocery stores. The mention of 'D'aquí 9 mesos hi haurà un baby boom' (in nine months there will be a baby boom) adds a light-hearted prediction about the consequences of people spending more time at home.
Moreover, the song encourages solidarity and collective action. The lyrics 'The whola a we together in a ona action' and 'Lávate las manos, lávatelas con jabouna' (wash your hands with soap) stress the importance of hygiene and working together to combat the virus. The inclusion of Sr. Wilson adds a reggae vibe to the song, enhancing its universal appeal and making the serious message more approachable. Overall, 'Stay Homa' serves as both a reminder and a comfort, assuring listeners that it's okay to be alone and that we are all in this together.
