抵抗病魔，無分國界。新加坡音樂創作人、二次創作高手Alvin Oon，選取Simon & Garfunkel嘅經典金曲《The Sound of Silence》，譜上新詞，成為一首抗疫之歌，歌詞有深意，呼籲世人勤洗手，齊心合力，一定能夠戰勝疫病。Kelly陶醉喺美樂佳詞之中，深深受到鼓舞。
Alvin Oon將呢一首老歌新詞放咗上網，由於譜上全新嘅英文歌詞，具有國際性，迅速喺網絡瘋傳。大家對Simon & Garfunkel嘅《The Sound of Silence》不會陌生，開頭一句係：Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again， Alvin就改成Hello virus from Wuhan. Another problem's here again，跟住去到中後段，歌詞呼籲大家齊齊做好本份，提高個人衞生，真係好有心思。
　　Kelly透過網路聯絡上Alvin，佢自我介紹係獅城一位音樂創作人、音樂編排家，仲經常製作原創音樂短片、新曲或二次創作，在新加坡社群傳達正能量訊息，又引起世人對新加坡文化嘅興趣。佢仲主張透過創作音樂，作為外交手段，紓緩人們之間嘅緊張關係。
　　Alvin對Kelly話，新肺炎疫情傳遍各地，佢得到創作靈感，連續四十八小時不眠不休，完成呢一次金曲二次創作。佢咁有心，大家細味下歌中真意，幫手廣傳短片開去。Kelly認為，愛無疆界，追求幸福亦無分國界，只要大家並肩作戰，一定能夠守得雲開見月明。
FIGHT THE VIRUS
原曲:The Sound of Silence
新詞: Alvin Oon
Hello virus from Wuhan
Another problem's here again
Because you see the contagion creeping
And the virus is indeed spreading
And the memory of SARS planted in my brain
Still remains
We stand and fight the virus

We hear of theories how it grew
From snakes and bats became a flu
Passing the sickness from man to man
Now it's growing, getting out of hand
It's a virus that has travelled near and far
Corona
We have to fight the virus

And in the latest news I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People falling sick with much coughing
People falling ill with much sneezing
People worried for their health and their ones so dear
Pneumonia

We keep the fight the virus

Keep your hand clean always know
Hygiene will stop that virus grow
When you sneeze cover with a tissue
Even coughing just let me teach you
Wear a mask if you're sick so that others won't get it too
We count on you
To help to fight the virus

Together we must overcome
To beat this virus fight as one
For a life of health and harmony
It's in our hands it's up to you and me
For the health of our land of our friends and family
Humanity
We will win this fight the virus
