My next song in the queue will be called "Rome". Some of you may have heard a demo version of this already. I first became aware of COVID-19 when it hit Italy. The slow looming cloud of its potential impact crept into my skull at that point and, despite my best efforts, it sneaked into a song. Since we are largely past the worst of this storm, I feel better I about letting my song go. I expect to release it to the world in about a month.
Thank You so much for tolerating my musical muse!
I appreciate

Well; this is about COVID-19. Hopefully by the time you are hearing this the Pandemic will be largely over (cross fingers) and the ordeal just bitter memory deep in our mind vaults. I could not release this during that crazy time period precisely because I felt too close to it. However, it was the song that arrived at that time and I believe I am ready to share it with you now.

I felt the virus as a boogey man underneath my bed (like when you were a kid). Parents said he's not real yet the hairs on the back of my neck raised up anyway. The 6 ft distance became a symbol for separation and mandated "sheltering in place" Zombiehood distancing from human warmth. I am an introvert by nature so this separation was probably not good for me on the whole. My immediate family helped to save me on a daily basis just by being themselves. Thank You.

There is a fair bit of fear and pleading laced throughout the song. It is not cheery (sorry about that) but it is a cool song none-the-less and captures the essence of my mood during this time. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
