WOW! I heard this song for the first time this morning (05/15) and the lyrics hit me really hard after the week I’ve had.
It’s been a week where I’ve questioned a lot of different things, what does life look like a couple of months from now? am I going to have a job? will the economy make it back to where it was? are we going to be able to get back to enjoying concerts? are we going to be able to giveaway experiences that some people may never get to enjoy (Froggy 48)? What I love the most about radio is the connection between us and you. Being able to giveaway concerts tickets to someone who doesn’t take it for granted, sending someone on a vacation that they might not be able to afford. I MISS THAT MOST! The unknown this week has really been a mental hurdle for me.
It’s been a very tough week for me and I know I’m not the only going through this. It may not have been this week for you, it may have been last week or it could be next week, but if there’s anything I can for you please don’t hesitate to reach out!
“Hey world, leave me alone. Don’t call me up today, I won’t be picking up the phone. I’m gonna sit here on this porch swing and listen to the pines sing. Everything I need’s right here at home. Hey world, leave me alone.”
Since COVID-19 have you felt this way?
“Hey world, I just need some space. Can you give me a minute to catch my breath today. I don’t need that long, and you ain’t going nowhere. So if you don’t mind, yeah/ if you don’t care.”
These lyrics really hit home. All I want to do is sit in peace with the ones I love and take a deep breath!
I hope you’re doing well, I hope mentally you have been strong and have someone you can lean on. I hope you continue to have the strength to get through each day and just be thankful that we have each other and we are going through this together.
