I conceived this song in March 2020, in not too suspicious times.
I immediately began to ask myself questions about what was happening. Maybe too much (at birth, I was given a brain and I keep it working).
It' s the first time I write a song about what happens outside of me and I don't talk about my depression or my emotions or visions and dreams.
Pandemic was a slap in the face that brought me back to reality. It opened old wounds and created an internal rift whereby I no longer feel the same. I have changed. I don't want to waste any more time. I have cleaned up my contacts.
I speak less, I smile less. I laugh very rarely, only when I'm hysterical or drunk.
A break in my soul that made all my convictions crumble. It has resized all my priorities; it has sharpened my anger and my strong intolerance of foolishness and carelessness. Let's face it, I'm extremely heavy sometimes.
It made me realize how communication can affect things, and how much the feeling of fear goes beyond love and friendship.
All of us (more or less) have become scientists and doctors.
We even chose the type of vaccine, as if we were at a restaurant. - "I'd like one Pfizer and two Moderna please!!!"
Obviously my ideas on the subject are all within the song, written with simple metaphors.
Anyway they got almost the herd immunity.
At least we have seen that the people belong to the herd of sheep without asking too many questions Sometimes it is more comfortable not to see.
But in the end what do I care? I'm too old to maintain formal relationships. To converse with apathetic know-it-all, who repeat set phrases without understanding their real meaning. Who publish other people's memes, because they are not able to express their thoughts in their own words. But what do they really think?
What do I have to lose? Nothing ... indeed it is all gain in spiritual and cultural elevation.
Everyone chooses. And I have chosen too!
Good life (or what remains of it) to all.
P.S I remind you that "In the long run we are all dead." (John Maynard Keynes)
