Indeterminacy

about

Because nobody's being tested, we have to assume that we've got the virus and behave so that we don't transmit it to anyone else. At the same time, we need to assume that if we don't feel sick, we haven't caught it yet, and behave in ways that make sure we don't catch it. It's Schrodinger's virus...

I set myself the task of playing an extended guitar solo for the ending of this one. As the song's in 7/8, that wasn't as easy as it sounds.

lyrics

Right now it's been a week since I last heard your voice
The situation isn't one that I'd be in by choice
Not knowing what the future holds has brought me low
It seems like normal life took place a century ago

Is it really so outrageous asking people to be smart?
When no one knows who is contagious we have to stay six feet apart
Even though it breaks my heart

When people think they're healthy even when they're not
It's all to easy to give other people what they've got
Still others that I see believe the whole thing isn't true
They clearly don't know quite as much as they pretend they do

People only see the value in the things that go away
We tell ourselves that we know we will get them back someday
This time I'm not so sure that this will turn out to be true
The only thing I'm certain of is I am missing you

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
