Cousin Greg from <em>Succession<\/em> \u2014\u00a0 had a flash of inspiration in early May while quarantining in his friend\u2019s L.A. guest house, lonely and wishing for companionship: a tongue-in-cheek rocker, \u201cAntibodies (Do You Have the),\u201d which premieres Wednesday along with the official video on <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want a girl whose blood\u2019s got the stuff\/I want a girl who\u2019s safe,\u201d Braun sings over gentle guitar, building toward the explosively emo chorus: \u201cDo you have the antibodies?\/Do you want to be with me?\/Do you have the antibodies?\/\u2019Cause if you don\u2019t\/you better stay away!\u201d There\u2019s also a line about antibodies equating to \u201cpants off!\u201d but be advised that that\u2019s not medically sound advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy friends are a couple and they\u2019ve been together for years, but I was back there sort of being like, \u2018Man, I wish I had somebody right now to go through this with,\u2019 \u201d Braun tells <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cAnd so this girl and I were talking and we were like, \u2018Maybe we should go meet up and go for a walk \u2014 with bandanas on.\u2019 So I went on this quarantine date; it sort of felt secret because I didn\u2019t want my friends to know. And I guess the combination of paranoia and romance is what the song is about.\u201d Braun\u2019s 81-year-old father also caught \u2014 and survived \u2014 the virus.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16055959\"><img alt=\"Cousin Greg, as played by Nicholas Braun, left, on \"Succession.\"\" data- data- height=\"200\" width=\"300\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Cousin Greg, as played by Nicholas Braun, left, on \u201cSuccession.\u201d<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With a couple of lyrics in hand, Braun turned to his Instagram to crowdsource interpretations of the song from his fans. Hundreds of videos followed. \u201cI thought: \u2018This kind of an amazing thing,\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cThen this A&#038;R from Atlantic Records reached out to me and said, \u2018Hey, I know this song is kind of a joke, but I also kind of think that bridge and your second verse are really catchy.\u2019 I talked to him and I was like, \u2018Does it make sense to actually make this song right now?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With producer Colin Brittain (Papa Roach, Dashboard Confessional, 5 Seconds of Summer) in tow, Braun created a pop-punk version of the song, a portion of proceeds from which will go to Cope and\u00a0 Partners in Health. Braun then sl<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed on some eyeliner to shoot the quirky video: \u201cThat just felt like the character to me. Like a punk guy. I really wanted him to get emo and kind of grunge with it. I\u2019ve never used that phrase before\u2026 \u2018grunge with it.\u2019 That\u2019s good.\u201d Artist Camilla Engstrom \u2014 a.k.a. Braun\u2019s walking date \u2014 stars as the love interest. \u201cIn the video when we hug, that was a very real thing for us in real life,\u201d he says. \u201cWe were on date three and we were like, \u2018Hey, is it OK to take off our bandanas and hug each other today?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Braun has been acting since age six but has long been interested in music as well. \u201cI started writing songs like six years ago,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve just been very hesitant to put anything out. It\u2019s always in the back of my head \u2014 making music. I\u2019d love to perform, I\u2019d love to tour. This is the first thing I\u2019m officially putting out, but I love this song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To those who are curious: Braun has been tested for both COVID-19 and antibodies \u2014 and the results were both negative. So in Braun\u2019s own words: \u201cYou better stay away!\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Entertainment <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/07\/29\/nicholas-braun-aka-cousin-greg-drops-surprise-summer-bop-antibodies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Nicholas Braun, AKA Cousin Greg, drops surprise summer bop, \u2018Antibodies\u2019&#8221; By Brenna Ehrlich, Rolling Stone July 29, 2020 | 4:26pm Emmy-nominated actor Nicholas Braun \u2014 a.k.a.
