about

I wrote this song during year three of the pandemic, and I was having a lot of really crummy feelings about it, but at the same time I was so grateful for my chosen family and the fact that we were able to all live together and support each other.

This song is a gentle acoustic folk song about getting fat, getting mad at people who don't follow health guidelines, buying a house with people I love, and ultimately being okay in the end.

lyrics

LOCKDOWN

My body changed during lockdown, and it had changed before, sometimes with intention, sometimes not.
This time I decided to let it do its own thing, and just live with the body that I’ve got.

I don’t look the way I thought I would, but somehow I’m still doing good, and it’s okay. I’ll be okay.

My feelings changed during lockdown. It’s hard to trust my neighbours. They’d rather go to bars than save my life.
I understand avoiding the loneliness and strangeness. But their indifference only twists the knife.

And now I wonder, can I put all this behind me?
All the ones we’ve lost, the helpless tears.
Inside I know that this stretch of time is tiny.
Will I remember how I felt in fifty years?

My friendships changed during lockdown, and they had changed before, sometimes I’d had many more but not like this.
My friends I call my family, we build a life together, we lean on one another, and we’ll get through this.

I don’t love like I was told I should, but somehow I’m still doing good, and it’s okay. I’ll be okay.

I may be tired but I know the world is tired with with me.
I may be scared but I’m not the only one.
I’ll still feel so strange knowing everything has changed
when I finally stand and step out in the sun.

My thinking changed during lockdown, I’m not as independent,
but I have all the community I need.
It’s okay to ask for help, and one day we’ll have a garden,
‘cause today we work together planting seeds.

I don’t think the way I thought I would, but somehow I’m still doing good and it’s okay.

I don’t live the way I thought I would and somehow I’m still doing good and it’s okay.
I’ll be okay.
