Nicholas Braun Composes Rock Song On Coronavirus
While people are running out of quality stuff to do during quarantine, Nicholas Braun has created some rock music as an anthem for coronavirus. The Succession fame recently won Emmy nomination for the HBO series on July 28.
Although it seems that the 32-year-old star is heading towards scoring a Grammy soon. The COVID-19 song was inspired by social media earlier in May, Braun asked for help on Instagram. The actor had a nerd look with glasses and cap on in the video posted while he called for all the "musical people".
Braun mentioned in the captioned that some lyrics are stuck in his head. Many fans came forward to help the actor with the chorus including Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star and more popular friends in the industry.
Eventually, the ideas received via social media helped Braun to work on the coronavirus track. The final output of the track was titled Antibodies (Do You Have The), which turned into a rock anthem for the fans. Many people resonated with the single with pop-punk.
In fact, in the three minute and fifty-six-second long video, the actor added a glimpse of the video he posted on Instagram. "Do you have the antibodies? / Do you wanna be with me? / Do you have the antibodies? / 'Cause if you don't, you better stay away!", Braun played the guitar with these words.
While scientists admitted that they are not confident about the antibodies present in the virus considering the reinfection, the lyrics defined the importance of social distance as well. Given that, even if antibodies aren't proven in the future, the single is impressive enough to grab attention during the music award season next year.
Succession bagged 18 Emmy nominations and in one of the awards, Braun is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series including Matthew Macfadyen and Kieran Culkin. Considering the cast Brian Cox who won Golden Globes earlier this year, Jeremy Strong, and Sarah Snook are also nominated.
The single seemed to be shot at different places in Braun's house and also directed by him. The actor could be seen with a guitar, facemask, and applying sanitizer on his hands. Hunter Cope filmed the entire music video while it was edited by Sean McIlraith.
Camilla Engstrom was credited for playing the "quarantined date" and in fact, she was featured in the music track for a brief. Braun produced the music video in collaboration with Colin Brittain.
