This song was written mid-pandemic and was definitely a covid song and even though I liked it, I didn’t really want to release a covid song. So I sat on it for while, but I kept coming back to it and would find it speaking to me in different ways. It sums up a lot of feelings I have about life at the moment both personally and politically. It all feels strange to me."
lyrics
The moon is letting go
Of everything I know
Tonight
The hours turn to days
The sky is out of phase
Are we alright?
Over crowded ghost town
Sun behind a dark cloud
All my favourite spots have closed down
No where to go now
Strange weather
Strange weather
Seems like yesterday
I could simple drift away from all this
Now I’m not sure
About anything anymore if I’m honest
