Undoubtedly, the majority were up for the idea “We will stay home for a while and then everything is going to be as it was before.” The reality, however, is way worse... A year passed in terms of our coexistence with the covid-19. Social life was shut down, reopened, reclosed and now it is opened, again. From now on, on condition that social distance rules are taken seriously, everyone is free to go to restaurants, to cafes or even to malls. Nonetheless, people get used to use public transportation, aeroplanes or underground without social distancing rules. There is one reality in this process which is the infeasible state of listening to music even if we submit to the social distance rules. If for another while the current situation continues like that, it is going to be very late. Seeing ex-singers working in different sectors since their only income source had been shut down and they do not receive a salary will highly be likely. Even worse, this will probably end up losing an entire musically-qualified generation. Education of an artist is an arduous process so we must appreciate their worth. Our history demonstrates us with countless examples that having artists in our society is something priceless. A fruitful issue is ready for the taking. The best sentence of this one belongs to Prof Dr Fazlı Arslan who says “Reading is the cornerstone of development.” We wish you would be able to switch to white pages that liberate our imagination from black screens which “formalise” our vision.
