about

This track was written, recorded, mixed and mastered during lockdown in Perth, Western Australia. The song is about a lonely guy who misses his girl because he's stuck indoors in self isolation as a deadly pandemic rages on in the outside world.

All proceeds from the song will go towards Care's COVID-19 emergency appeal which is striving to get soap, clean water and information on how to prevent the spread of the virus to people in some of the world’s most poverty-stricken and conflict-ravaged communities where healthcare systems are already weak and under-resourced.

CARE Australia is an international humanitarian aid organisation fighting global poverty, with a special focus on women and girls.

lyrics

Self isolating
Without the girl that I’m missing
I hear balcony singers
Emoting with feeling
The world’s full of wounded souls today
Neighbours too close for comfort
When they should be far away

Supermarket fracas
Over household essentials
Clueless politicians
Making asinine assumptions
These eerie times that we’re living in
Feels like some kind of payback
For all our sins

Pandemic panic
From Palermo to Perth
It’s a debacle
What’s dull used to sparkle
And I just want to know
When I can see my girl again
Cause it’s been too long
Feels like she’s long gone

Wish the herd would stop hoarding
The shelves they need filling
The curve needs some flattening
My heart it is breaking
Hope there’s enough to go around
When we’re inside alone, not making a sound

Pandemic panic
From Portland to Preston
It’s a debacle
Her eyes used to sparkle
And I just want to know
When I can see my girl again
Cause it’s been too long
It feels like she’s long gone

Clapping in the street
Won’t help make ends meet
But it’s the thought that really counts
And the thought is rather sweet
People so kind, they stay in the mind
We’re not complaining, we’’ll take what we can find

Pandemic panic
From Paris to Prague
It’s a debacle
What’s dull used to sparkle
And I just want to know
When I can see my girl again
Cause it’s been too long
It’s feels like she’s long gone

So I keep my distance
Take the path of least resistance
The time on my hands
Is making no demands
Glued to the internet today
Hope she logs on soon
I’ve got so much to say
