On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd was murdered. His death was caught on video and shared around the world. Outrage rightly followed. Protesters took to the streets demanding action — DEMANDING JUSTICE! The following weekend, as I tried to come to grip with another life lost in a system of institutionalized racism, I turned to music as a way to help answer the questions that were screaming in my head. I recalled a Jackson Browne song from the 1980s — Lives in the Balance. With pen and paper, I sat down and reimagined Mr. Browne’s song as a response to the current events of 2020.
