A song that ambushed me last year! I was determined not to write a COVID song as they seemed to be proliferating like the virus itself. I didn’t want to use the position we all found ourselves in as a metaphor for how emotionally isolated people are…. or whatever. Then on one walk in Melbourne’s first lockdown it came out at me, from behind a bush on the Merri Creek path behind Ceres I think ( to give Melbournites a sense of connection heh heh).That was it! I’d succumbed to the outbreak of COVID songs. I thought if I could share my story people others would avoid that fate!
Anyway, after the 2nd or 3rd lockdown I flung some JobKeeper at Finn Kean at Headgap studios and he caught me doing this and Everybody’s Out Of Town and mixed and mastered them. Not sure I’m cured…only time will tell.
But seriously, get Vaccinated, wear a mask, keep your distance.
