about

In celebration of my 47th (gasp!) birthday, I wrote and recorded this little power pop ditty from scratch to finish in just one week. Inspired by the global madness of COVID-19, this song is my humble attempt at bringing some hope to this world in these trying times.

If your situation is similar to mine and you have little to no money, you can always download the track for free. However, if I had one wish this year for a birthday gift, any donation you can afford upon your download is massively appreciated. Finally, please do feel free to share this with anyone you can think of who might like it.

Thanks for listening!

lyrics

Modern Times ’21 (Crazy World)

Calling every unit
We have a suspect on the run
Running in crazy circles
The third planet from the sun
Considered armed but harmless
We want to catch the suspect alive
In any case of altercation
Just wait for backup to arrive

It’s a crazy world
And the madness is sometimes just too much to bear
It’s a crazy world
But it’s best we wait it out now
Let our suspect know that we still love and care

(solo)

Calling every unit
We have a case of fifty-one-fifty
We have one flown over the cuckoo’s nest
And she’s big and bad and swifty
We should approach the suspect with caution
And never use excessive force
The suspect will not bother anyone
If we just let her run her course

(Chorus)
