Love Song in 2020

by James Barrett

Curtis L. Reeves Jr. If you needed a way to encapsulate the fear, uncertainty and despair of 2020, and the fight for hope through those prevailing emotions, look no further. An elegy with energy, this is desolation you can dance to. Favorite track: Love Song in 2020.

lyrics

I can't wait around and wait for you
like waiting for a sky so blue over Scranton to last longer than a two hour segment
I find myself feeling awfully blue
losing consciousness shopping for food in the Wegman's that pathetically makes me miss you
I'm so scared of hospitals and ICU's
an abundance of constant bad news on the networks
the death and destruction of the earth
now I'm scared that you will get sick too
in the event you do I love you and I'll forgive you
for the Hell you forced me through

but I want to feel you against my bones
once more my love
once for us again

well all I can do is stay inside
maybe observe birds as they fly outside of my windows
the gentle reminders that it's still spring you know?
but it's hard to find security when fabric hides our ability to smile back at those
our daily duty to combat fear with hope

but I want to feel you against my bones
once more my love
once for us again
