I mean, you don’t really have to stop everything.
Perhaps you can multitask by listening to the song and doing whatever else you were doing before that?
Seth’s just a big fan of Succession (it’s a superb series, and you should be, too), and Cousin Greg is one of many fantastic characters, so he’s a little excited by what you’re about to witness.
Also, you should know that Succession is based on the Murdoch family, although we’re not sure who Cousin Greg is supposed to represent.
Nicolas Braun plays Greg, and he’s just released ‘Antibodies (Do You Have The)’, which The Verge is calling it “the new song of this pandemic summer”.
We live in strange times:
The song got its start in May when actor Nicholas Braun (aka Cousin Greg) was quarantining with friends, according to Rolling Stone, where the song premiered today.
“My friends are a couple and they’ve been together for years, but I was back there sort of being like, ‘Man, I wish I had somebody right now to go through this with,’” Braun told Rolling Stone. “And so this girl and I were talking and we were like, ‘Maybe we should go meet up and go for a walk — with bandanas on.’ So I went on this quarantine date; it sort of felt secret because I didn’t want my friends to know. And I guess the combination of paranoia and romance is what the song is about.”
Braun put out a “call to the wild” — Instagram — entreating his musically-inclined followers to help him with a song idea. Apparently, he struck a chord, because boy, did they respond.
Record label Atlantic Records took notice, and before long there was an actual song, with an actual music video, and that’s what you’re about to witness.
Nicholas / Greg, take it away:
If you’re having issues viewing the above, you’ll have to head to YouTube and watch it here.
There’s a personal element to the song as well, given that his 81-year-old father had COVID-19, before making a successful recovery.
Proceeds from the song will go to nonprofits COPE and Partners in Health.
By the way, if you start watching Succession today, there are two seasons, and 21 episodes in total, to get through.
That’s five a day, and six on Sunday, and you’re done by the end of the weekend.
I back you.
