about

Todd Carter of The Looking, Rob Calder and I started this song as a cross-country musical collaboration in quarantine. Emily learned about the radio station's #TogetherTunes challenge and submitted the song with a music video she produced that lives on the radio station's web site.

The song explores themes of anxiety, isolation and transformation in the current Corona virus pandemic.

lyrics

Night begins the calling
Creatures crawl out from their den
Shadows, cloak and dagger
The ghosts of life pass by again.

I wrap my coat around me
to keep the demons at bay.
Who knew these inner voices
had so much to say.

And all their eyes seem so familiar now.

Oh, no one knows
The stories how these journeys lost their compass.
Oh, where do we go?
Lost in ways I've failed before.
40 Days of Darkness.

Blue fades to lightness.
The chill breaks each day.
I hear the sea fold over and over
Tossing turning a brand new way.

Oh, no one knows
The stories how these journeys lost their compass.
Oh, where do we go?
Lost in ways I've failed before.
40 Days of Darkness.

Not sure I'll survive.
But change comes fast.
I'll return a new form
nothing resembling the past.

Oh, no one knows
The stories how these journeys lost their compass.
Oh, where do we go?
Lost in ways I've failed before.
40 Days of Darkness.
