about

By Arden Altino, Jerry Duplessis, Melissa Etheridge
Soloist: Shana Cohen

The Pulse nightclub massacre in June 2016 affected our community deeply. Rabbi Joshua Lesser quickly co-organized a “We Are Orlando” vigil outside Atlanta’s Center for Civil and Human Rights where he spoke and our chorus sang. Separately, within two days of the tragedy, singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge headed into the studio and turned the name of the site into a musical statement about our shared humanity. She dedicated “Pulse” to the victims of the attack on the Orlando LGBT community. A chorus member came across it that week, and Will arranged it for us, with Shana Cohen taking the solo.

lyrics

Everybody’s got a pain inside
Imaginary wounds they fight to hide
How can I hate them
When everybody’s got a pulse

I dream in a world that wants my soul
That tells me if I hate I can control
But I don’t believe it
I cannot conceive it
Because everybody’s got a pulse

I am human, I am love
And my heart beats with my blood
Love will always win
Underneath the skin
Everybody’s got a pulse

Once again I hang my head to cry
I can’t find the reason why they died
We will find the answer
Blowing in the wind
That everybody’s got a pulse

I am human, I am love
And my heart beats with my blood
Love will always win
Underneath the skin
Everybody’s got a pulse
