Story Behind The Song

This song is inspired by the pandemic of the coronavirus causing Covid-19. It is about someone who has all of their basic needs met, but is alone and longing to find company, or their lover...someone who they have been communicating with only through digital means, particularly messaging back in forth in the style of old pen pals.

Lyrics

Somehow I enjoy the peace
Of ghost towns no one on the streets
Secretly don't love the crowds
Pure noise all the excess sounds

Everywhere in desolation
But I don't care, in isolation
And just to breathe
The air and the clouds and the trees...with me

Locked down with social distancing
So much closed but I don't miss a thing
If I see another breathing being
Start to get uneasy feelings

Keep my space, no confrontations
Shield your face, from condensation
All I have is
Your messages shared on my screen, for me

Life in this pandemic all alone quarantined
You're all I need
If I could find a way, reach you somehow
See my pandemic pen pal
Right now

We'd share a feast of take out food
Scenic and serene nature views
Let's exile in silence quietly
With fine wine and good company

We'll stay in place, in one location
in our home base, full sequestration
All we want is
The world to feel better and heal...

How long 'til we flatten out this curve
Of suffering and hurt
All the while, people dying
The world is crying
How did things get so dire?

Life in this pandemic all alone quarantined
You're all I need
If I could find a way, reach you somehow
See my pandemic pen pal
Right now
