Matty was on the Iberian Peninsula when things got dicey in March of 2020. This is about what was going on around the time they came home.

lyrics

Day five; still got granola
Strategic Yogurt Reserves fill the cooler up
Matty’s coming home today
And man I hope he’s alright
I shudder to think what an airport would look like now, right?

Been on page 65 of this book for days
Spinning lazy from no task, to no task in a haze
Hard to get a thing done when there’s nothing to do
Hard to kick back and relax when you keep up with the news

It’s day five, I’ve still got some granola
As my downstairs neighbors cough up a lung below me
They’ve been leaving the house every few hours like it’s alright
They trashed their census forms with the envelope still sealed tight
What can I say, it’s a selfish world
But perhaps a little less so now
I hope soon my cynicism feels played out
(But it won’t)

about

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
