Quarantine life has got me thinking. It's making me realize how we are on a giant rock flying through outer space at an incredible speed, but no one is actually in control. So I decided to document this crazy historical event we are all currently living through in a song. I'm sure this track will be outdated soon enough but it'll be a great audio photograph to look back on later in life. I'm sure we will one day look back at all of this chaos and laugh about it, but until then, I'm staying home and making more music. "Lockdown Showdown" was entirely written, recorded and produced by myself, between the days of Friday, April 17th & Monday, April 20th (2020). But please wash your hands before you listen to it though. Then you can get the full experience.

--- Lyrics ---
the world is changing
but is it still worth saving
in my house i’m staying
i’m in need of a vacation
in my head is caving
a hug is what i’m craving
no longer am i bathing
my clothes are all staining
a global situation
bank account quickly draining
i’m not blaming i’m not hating
i’m just venting my frustration
see my mind is aching
at night i lay awaken
no hands around for shaking
my patience is braking
nothing entertaining
except watching my weight gaining
from my window see me waving
on my guitar hear me playing
nature ain’t playing saying
“humans stay in your lane”
contemplating not complaining
i’m just glad that i ain’t shaving
home based education
while my kids are misbehaving
now where’s that vaccination
i’ve never done so much praying
every single nation
can’t contain this contagion
big businesses get bailing
while the poor are barely scraping
how about we start behaving
and not worry about who’s paying
it's lives we should be saving
wouldn’t that be amazing?
“while some look for a silver lining
others look to line their pockets with silver”
the world is changing
but is it still worth saving
in my house i’m staying
i’m in need of a vacation
the world is changing
but is it still worth saving
in my house i’m staying
i’m in need of a vacation
