Columbus resident Pam Edwards simply struggled to sleep the other night when the muse came to her unexpectedly.
Soon enough, the former Northview Church worship leader penned lighthearted lyrics to a song she titled “Quarantine” — set to the music of the Beatles’ classic hit “Yesterday.” The video clip she posted Monday evening on her Facebook page at Pamela Meadows Edwards has triggered good-natured laughter among friends, and some serious reactions among some wowed by her voice that once was part of an all-female Christian rock band in the 1980s.
The effort was inspired, of course, by the stay-at-home orders from Gov. Eric Holcomb in Indiana to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
The clip garnered enough attention that it was aired Tuesday morning by an Indianapolis television station.
The two-minute performance features Edwards on keyboards in her home with husband Andy in the background adding comic antics.
