Foto Tunes

 Tom the backroads traveller hosts this weekly meme.

I had written this post before we went back into modified lockdown on the weekend.

After posting I see that the video below is "not available". I have added another version below.

If it still doesn't work you could google "Bon Jovi Do What You Can".

Bon Jovi - Do What You Can

Do What You Can


Images of Toronto in these not normal times. Song lyrics below.


Front St. outside Union Station



Directing where you can walk


Mask station at home


Virtual dinner party



Union Station at noon on a business day


Local wine label paying tribute to health care workers



Empty subway


6 feet apart


Heart of the PATH in the Financial District at 9:38 on a weekday morning



The library


Pride parade cancelled


Murals appearing around town


Fashion statement


Signs of the times







Tonight they're shutting down the borders
And they boarded up the schools
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
One last paycheck coming through
I know you're feeling kind of nervous
We're all a little bit confused
Nothing's the same, this ain't a game
We gotta make it through
As we wave outside the window
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowing kisses
May be saving someone's life
They had to cancel graduation
It ain't fair to Skype the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
TV news is always on
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
The chicken farm from Arkansas
Bought workers PPE
Not before 500 more
Had succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women
Working for an honest wage
I got a hundred point one fever
And we still got bills to pay
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
They built a hospital on East Meadow
In Central Park last night
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store
Clerks manning the front lines
I saw a Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by (screams by)
If by the grace of God, go I
Although I'll keep my social distance
What this world needs is a hug
Until we find the vaccination
There's no substitute for love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your neighbor and your friend
Ain't it time we loved the stranger
They're just a friend you ain't met yet
Oh
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can (do what you can)
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

  1. ...yep, we will get through this, but there are so many clowns out there that think the life hasn't changed a bit. Thanks Jackie for joining the party.
