Facing my third quarantine/self-isolation period due to covid-19 situation today. It really hit me deep down this time. Compared to others, I guess I'm considered lucky as the country I live in is not on a total lockdown. But, I can't stop thinking about all friends and people I know around the globe. How this must hit them so hard; mentally, financially, socially.
I'm left with so many "I don't know",s. Is the virus as dangerous as they say? Is the exhaustion of total lockdowns necessary? Will the social, mental, economic and emotional long term effects be worth it all the drastic actions?
I don't know. I know I am reflecting, and I wrote this song to invite you to do so with me. I hope we find light and truth for all of us soon. Be well.
/Andreas, When In Silence
