Sing and Don't Cry, Belinda Lopez , single work prose

'Every apocalypse needs its own theme song, and writer and radio maker Belinda Lopez has chosen the Cielito Lindo — Sing and Don't Cry.

'It's the "ay ay ay ay" song — the beloved tune of Mariachi bands the world over.

'She sings it to her baby every night, to soothe herself, as much as for her as her little girl.

'Belinda's mother and father sing it too, over Facetime, to their first and only grandchild.

'But is it okay to sing and not cry in a global pandemic?'

Joe's Just 4 Men, Phil Spencer , single work prose

'Phil Spencer is an Englishman, and he's never been really comfortable talking about love.

'He reckons you can say you love your kids, your football club, and your mum.

'But would you tell your dad, an ex-RAF Sargent, that you love him? On a Facetime call? No you would not.

'Although with a global pandemic on our hands, Phil's finding his love for his fellow man, and he's going to do it: he's going to open up, throw off the shackles of his gender, and tell the world just how much he loves...his barber.'
