about

The first song I wrote about the pandemic, and reflects my mental state and the “numbness” I felt only a week or so into the lockdown. At that point, I wasn’t motivated to do much at all, and it felt like this would be my only song for a long time. Then a certain Mr Andrew Scott came knocking and offered his services as a remote session drummer, all the way from Toronto, Canada. When I heard the results on this song, I saw an opportunity to make the most of being forced to spend a lot of time alone in a home studio and create something a bit different. This song is the reason the album exists at all!

lyrics

Strange days indeed, like we’ve cut off a limb but it won’t bleed
We’ve lost all guarantees for the life we lead, for the things we need
The uncertainty is leading to anxiety
When your body and mind aren’t free you’re a refugee, and what’s worse for me
is that I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
When everything around me seems so unreal
And I guess it’s going to take some time to heal
So try to keep your hands upon the wheel
I know I’m not alone and we’re all stuck in the confusion zone
This way of life unknown, I’m a fire stone but it chills me to the bone
That I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
When everything around me seems so unreal
I guess it’s going to take some time to heal
So try to keep your hands upon the wheel
And I’ll try to keep my spirits high
Because I know we’ll get through this in time
And I’ll set my sights on the sky for when it’s time to fly
Strange days indeed, like we’ve cut off a limb but it won’t bleed
I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
When everything around me seems so unreal
I guess it’s going to take some time to heal
So try to keep your hands upon the wheel
I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel
When everything around me seems so unreal
I guess it’s going to take some time to heal
So try to keep your hands upon the wheel
