Back in the days before lockdown #1, my boss would talk about'extraordinary times', referring to the gathering pandemic. I picked up on the phrase and a song began.

And yes it's taken me this long to finish it.
Overdrive - Distortion - Hyperactivity
Yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter

Great arrangements and production here. It's a very cool juxtaposition between the upbeat, trip hoppy instrumental and the very real lyrics. I sure do hope we can all get out of this soon. Cases are going up and up here in New Brunswick.

cool style on this musically...it's a bit like Alan Parsons project with a few things extra...it's quite unique, but that is your style....
I enjoyed hearing your lyrics as well...and the vocals sound great

Oh yeah, cool track.

I was a bit worried, lyrically, when I realised how direct it was gong to be, that it wouldn't work for me... but it does. Works very well.

Cool sounds.

   All that I need
Is just a piece of paper
To say a few lines
Make up my mind
So she can read it later
When I'm gone

Wow nearly missed this one. I really like how this all fits together rhythmically. The music is light against the serious lyrics. Works great. Good job

Yes you've created a strange little musical nugget. That musical playfulness is a great backdrop to those disturbing lyrics. Very cool and creative piece Nick.
