about

This latest single chronicles my experience through the ongoing lockdown. I have been living with my girlfriend who has been hit by the virus and I have had to sleep on the floor and keep a safe distance while taking care of her. The song came out during those days and the difficulties involved living through it. Everything started to get stressful, even the simple things like going to the supermarket to buy food was an entire process. The whole song ended up being recorded in the same corner that I slept in, that I conceived it in and that is on the single artwork.

The first iteration of this song you can hear on the Hush Sessions which were the demos I have been releasing as a separate release right here on Bandcamp during these past three months of lockdown. This song I felt just deserved a full band version.

lyrics

I need to bleed out to my friends
I need to keep up and make amends
Sleeping on the floor for days on end
Building up a fort trying to pretend

I need to gouge out my heart
I need to get up in the morning
Getting anxious over shopping trips
Counting the meals we’ve got left in the fridge

I just want you to get better
I just want everyone to get better

I just want my shitty life back
I just want my shitty life back

I’ve got a hole in my jeans
I’ve been wearing the same fucking things
For days on end now
Trying to wash them on rotation now

My work inbox is empty
I’ve got no one calling me

I just want my shitty life back
I just want my shitty life back
I just want my shitty life back
I just want my shitty life back
