SONG: Do You Hear The People Now?

A Parody of “Do You Hear The People Sing?”

(from “Les Misérables: The Complete Symphonic Recording” soundtrack)

Do you hear the people now?
Demanding healthcare for us all?

It is the cry of people
Who are rising to the call!

When the beating of our hearts
Stirs a passion for great outcomes

Bringing transformation
Then Revolution comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Will you be strong and stand with us?

Beyond the masquerade
There’s healthcare that is fair and just!

Then join in the fight
That will give us the rights without fuss!

Do you hear the people sing?
Demanding healthcare for us all?

It is the cry of a people
Who are rising to the call!

When the beating of our hearts
Stirs a passion for great outcomes.

Bringing transformation
Then Revolution comes!

Will you do what you can do
So that our cause may advance?

To create greater value
Will you rise up and take a stance?

Better health for our people
Should make all Americans dance!

Do you hear the people sing?
Demanding healthcare for us all?

It is the music of a people
Who are rising to the call!

When the beating of our hearts
Stirs a passion for great outcomes

Bringing transformation
Then Revolution comes!

John Zam

John is our favorite piano man, a consummate entertainer with a fabulous voice and incredible piano skills. He’s a lifelong Billy Joel enthusiast, and well-versed in the beloved piano bar repertoire from the 70s and 80s, with virtuosity in all genres: classic rock, the Beatles, Broadway, standards from the great crooners, country, and today’s hits. John entertained Chicago audiences for more than 20 years at the famed Redhead Piano Bar, other intimate entertainment spaces, luxury hotels and restaurants, and is based in Florida now. His shows are personal, he loves requests, and can make anyone feel special with a favorite song.

At 4sight Health, music is one of our cultural touchstones, an entrée into serious, even wonky concepts. As our troubadour, John brings to life David Johnson’s alternate lyrics to well-known songs. We don’t take ourselves too seriously! Listen to them all here.

John studied music at Northwestern University, and pivoted his communication degree and PR work to performance. Original artists from Billy Joel to Metallica have complimented him on his live covers of their songs and he’s been covered in the WSJ, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times. After decades of Chicago winters, he headed south to Miami, writes original music and performs in southern Florida, with occasional appearances at his Chicago haunts.
