about

A dark and foreboding tale of a world hollowed out by the COVID pandemic inspired by a late night walk through the empty streets of Hertford, my home at the time.

The track features a guest vocal performance from friend and peer, rock musician Ravi Amruth, with both vocalists working together to evoke a haunting atmosphere to accompany the moody, melancholy guitars.

lyrics

I walk into town on a lonely street
Fore street, Thursday night, the place to be
Instead of the party life and a steady beat
Emptiness stretches out ahead of me

The virus has taken hold of everything
Now the world just seems so cold

I take in the deafening silence
Peace never felt so goddamn lonely
The shutters are closed, the life is gone
And the only thing that’s left is the darkness and me

Signs of life high above my head 
Trapped inside ‘til only God knows when
Else they join the ranks of the dead
And so they wait to feel the sun again
