This Disease

[boneonbone]

Probably should have submitted this one during the Coronavirus mini-fest.....but we missed it.   Anyway, this is a somber (mostly acoustic) folkie tune  we wrote inspired by Covid.

This Disease   c2020

This disease drains life out of our eyes, this disease brings darkness to the sky
Ravaging in ways we could not know, this disease grabs hold and won't let go

This disease slowly takes its toll, this disease maintains total control
Keeping us away from all we know, this disease grabs hold and won't let go

Face a whole new reality, the insanity, leaves you cold
This disease won't discriminate, rich or poor, young or old

Deaf ears to the warnings, turning a blind eye,
One last gasp, one last cry

This disease can get into your head, this disease an turn our planet red
If you get caught in its undertow, this disease grabs hold and won't let go

Face a whole new reality, the insanity, leaves you cold
This disease won't discriminate, rich or poor, young or old
It grabs hold and won't let go, it grabs hold.....and won't let go

So beautiful! This is right up on my street; melodic folk vibe with excellent singing and picking! Enjoyable listening!

[Greeny]

Lush, lovely folk. Love the panning and clarity of the guitars. And the build up of the harmonies on the main vocal. The melodic solo is superb too. What a wonderful piece of work.

[Farrell Jackson]

Very nice picking. The vocal melody and harmonies fit perfectly. I like the harmonies that are hit during the double acoustic solo...a real highlight in the song!

Beautiful folk song chaps.  Great clarity on the guitars and spot-on harmonies.  Very pro.

I'm always keen to hear about equipment used.

Beautiful guys. So good... the sound of the guitars is beautiful, a lovely hint of reverb. This is just great... thanks for sharing.

Wow... missed this. Sounds gorgeous.
Those guitars...
And the vocals...
Masterful stuff.

And I meant to say - it's got a timeless quality to it too, it won't age badly when "covid" is no longer an issue
