Just one week ago, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during a nationally televised football game and was rushed to a hospital as players from the Bills and their opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, watched in shock and in tears.

Hamlin has made a remarkable recovery, but still has a ways to go. Nevertheless, his photos and messages on social media have been an inspiration not only for his teammates, but for all of the nation — a politically polarized nation that found a common bond in its hope and prayers for Hamlin.

That is why this week’s Sharp Notes Monday selection is “Getting Better” from the Beatles iconic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

As part of our “Sharp Notes, Sharp Thoughts” music and social media project, we share a song every Monday to start your week.
