So glad you got to finally meet Chris in person after so many “tears” together!;)
I don’t like to ever point out typos in anyone’s posts (and now I’m thinking you meant tears not years), but this one only deepened my imagined virtual relationship between you two!
Thank you! You (and anyone reading this) should *always* feel free to point those out. I appreciate it! I proof 'em, but I don't catch everything. "Progress, not perfection" and all that.
I enjoyed your eloquent reflections on the pandemic/lockdown, Kevin! You hit on a lot of the emotions I had, and I'm sure they also resonate with many, if not most, of your readers! Nicely done.
I know it's not the thrust of the piece...and, it's not addressing the music....let's see....what is it the kids say? Oh yeah, "Just sayin'!"🙂👍
I’m 100% with you with your scepticism about certain phrases like “alone together”. Another one that I found particularly irritating was “we’re all in this together” (as if socioeconomic factors all of a sudden didn’t matter or make a difference to how different people went through the whole thing).
Great that you could finally meet your friend in person! And sharing a concert, even better!
As for the track, I love how well balanced the production is. Slick touches here and there, but there’s a rawness to it that still comes out quite clearly. Love the “moody” vocals throughout, the singer’s choice of phrasing, and the harmonies in the background towards the end. Great tune!
That one really grated on me as well. In my city, it felt like a huge split between those having their groceries delivered, and the people doing the actual delivery.
Absolutely. Those who could work from home, those who couldn’t; those with assets, those without. And so on. I understand some people took comfort in those phrases, but it’s a clear sign of privilege (or lack of awareness thereof :)).

By the way, the two deleted comments were full of typos! Or autocorrects most likely as it wanted to teach me a lesson!

I listened to them a bit yesterday when you shared them on Notes (I think that was it...I’m old, I forget easy). Good stuff.
I'm glad you liked 'em!
Oh, and thank you for recommending Fog Chaser.
Sooo good! He's also just an impossibly nice guy. Really helped me out when I first started on here.

Thank you!!
Such an underrated group
Right? I feel like I've really been missing out.
Yay friendship!
Indeed! Tt's a good thing; even for cynical & introverted people like me.
You're introverted?
Oh yeah! I have to really work at it.
I used to be an introvert, but not anymore!
