about

Hi Everyone,

We as a band have been derailed from doing shows due to Covid-19. However we are all fortunate enough to still have our jobs. We wanted to do something for people who are less fortunate and help out the community. So we wrote a song from the heart called Pandemic Blues which was all recorded remotely and mixed professionally by Ear Art Music Studios. We hope you like it as much as we do.

Donation is optional for the download as we know everyone is struggling, but any donations made will be going to the food bank here in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

You can also donate directly to our campaign page - my.ugm.ca/PandemicBlues

Thanks so much for your support... and please don't forget to send this page to any friends you think might be interested in donating!

Sandy, Mick, Mike, Ed

lyrics

Pandemic Blues

Something’s raging in the far east
The willfully blind and religious zealots feast
Pontificating it’s the number of the beast or a government conspiracy

All of this time in isolation has you
Reflecting on times you’d rather undo
Dwelling on turmoil seems like you’ve have lost
Wandering ‘round there’s nothing to see here
All on these vacant streets, here’s where I must repeat

We're all trapped inside while the world outsides dying
This thing has gone wild while still multiplying
I'm scared for my wife, my family and Dad
And all of the friends that I've ever had, I've ever had

Oh man, the shit I’ve seen and heard
Would resurrect a dead dog from a taxidermy floor
Mass unemployment please stay back 6 feet
Scramblin’ round to get something to eat

All of this time in isolation has you
Reflecting on times you’d rather undo
Dwelling on turmoil seems like you’ve have lost
Wandering ‘round there’s nothing to see here
All on these vacant streets, here’s where I must repeat

We're all trapped inside while the world outsides dying
This thing has gone wild while still multiplying
I'm scared for my wife my family and Dad
And all of the friends that I've ever had, I've ever had

We're all trapped inside while the world outsides dying
This thing has gone wild while still multiplying
I'm scared for my wife my family and Dad
These pandemic blues are now all I have...now all that I have
