Demo coming soon! I've been feeling a bit off, physically, and, well, paranoid. And unmotivated to write a song. So I decided to use that as motivation. Also I've been listening to a lot of Rachel Bloom songs lately.
VERSE 1:
It's been a while
Since I've seen your face,
And I really don't know
How we landed in this place.
I've been missing you,
And I don't know what to do.
Since I saw you,
I haven't been myself.
Keep thinking of the way
You held me when you left.
At the time, it felt so good,
But I wondered if we should.
You said, I've got some news to give:
That test was positive.
So now I'm wondering--
CHORUS:
Do I miss you, or did you give me COVID?
Am I lonely, or am I dying of the plague?
Are there symptoms that I've missed?
Do I need a doctor or a therapist?
How can I find the answer to this question?
Is this COVID or just regular depression?
VERSE 2:
For a few days,
I've been feeling weak.
My nose is stuffy,
But that could be allergies.
And yeah, my throat's been feeling sore,
So now I'm asking you once more...
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I know I'm being paranoid
My worries are outrageous.
I mean, really, when I saw you,
You probably weren't even contagious.
I probably don't have COVID;
I might just be insane.
And if I do have COVID,
I got it from that woman on the train!
She was coughing, she was sneezing;
She was sitting way too close.
She was breathing in my face
With her mask under her nose!
But still I have to know...
CHORUS

The melody is lovely and there is a perfect pace in the words. Very topical and excellently crafted lyrics and your vocal delivery is so gorgeous! The bridge is the icing on the cake! Awesome work here!

Just "regular depression", I love it. She was breathing in my face with her mask under her nose. Ha ha! Been there.

Ok, demo is edited! I gave Kyle some more guidelines, and he did a better job this time. Drummers, man. Can't live with 'em...
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Kyle just wants to steal the show for himself. I like the melody you've come up with a lot here!
Such an earnest performance as well--sells the lyrics!
@racoolness Feb 2022
Ok, I put up the demo, but Kyle the Digital Drummer in Garage Band...did not follow very well. Gotta work on that...
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Oh yes. If you don't laugh you have to cry. Well done :)
