CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A group of musicians thanked University Hospitals doctors and nurses by releasing a new song written especially for them in the time of coronavirus, titled “This Is Your Song.”

The musicians, who are members of University Hospital’s expressive therapy team, posted the song and a music video showing a montage of doctors and nurses, to YouTube on April 5.

“This song was written to give voice to the heroic deeds of medical staff during this pandemic,” the team’s director Seneca Block said. “We often use music as a tool to help those in the hospital cope with their issues, but this time, the music was meant to honor those serving these people and highlight these heroes.”

Block, who wrote and sang on “This Is Your Song,” said it was the team’s way of offering help and support to their UH family. It was written and recorded virtually with various musicians, including violinist Forrest Paquin and vocalist Libby Gill, by sending emails back and forth until production was finished.

University Hospital’s expressive therapy team consists of 19 therapists -- primarily board-certified music therapists -- who help patients with anxiety, stress and pain through art, music, dance and movement. Currently, Block said, the team offers virtual versions of their programs to patients.
