about

I came up with the lyrics to this song after my little sister mentioned how all the news reporters kept saying "These Unprecedented Times" when talking about COVID-19 and the lockdown. The lyrics are all about life during the lockdown and reminding everyone to reach out to friends, loved ones and anyone else who might be in need right now.

All money raised from the downloads of this song will go to 'NHS Charities Together' to support the NHS and the frontline workers:

lyrics

Didn’t get up until midday today
Wondered if we’d turned the clocks back again
This is the new normal, feel so detached
Ever since we went through the looking glass

Can’t even blame anyone for living in fear
They’ve crammed so many plot twists into this year
Everyone’s acting so ahead of the curve
But who knows when things will get better or worse

I know you’re worried that it’s been taken out of our hands
But life’s a rough sketch of all our plans
For all we know it could be like this forever
So we’re just doing what we still can

And so you wished you didn’t have to live through this
And you think you were born too early for your life?
Everyone around you is feeling the same way
That's something for you to get behind

All we can do is choose how to use these moments
Stop looking for the best place to hide
We might be all we’ve got right now
Are you gonna help us through these unprecedented times?

I’m the furthest thing from earnest
Least that’s what I make myself out to be
But I've started opening up to others
Ever since things got much bigger than me

And so you wished you didn’t have to live through this
And you think you were born too late for your life?
Well these are the hands that we’ve been dealt
And we’re all just as terrified

Don’t know how long we’ll be living like this
Can’t stand to read the new headlines
And so reach out to someone else
Are you gonna stay with us through these unprecedented times?

And so we’ve gotta live through this
Stop letting the wool fall over your eyes
Try to look out for somebody else
Are you gonna help them through these unprecedented times?
