ductapeguy says: These lyrics came in late March from a Facebook conversation with DD, when we were each beginning to realize the impact of the pandemic and the lockdown. Although we live on different continents, we both had the experience of being separated from loved ones who live blocks away. The first verse is a retelling of one of my experiences, and the second was an experience of Dragondreams.

We revisited these lyrics for 5090 and DD came up with a beautiful, lyrical instrumental track. I provided melody and vox. It is always a pleasure to collaborate with Dragondreams. He shoves me way out of my comfort zone.

I love working with Ductapeguy! Our styles are so different that it fits right in with my "borrow references from all genres" approach. And we get on well, which is also a good trait, even in a virtual band. I sat on these lyrics for ages, trying to find a way to musically convey the emotions they stirred in a way that conveys the awkwardness that we both mentioned we felt in our respective, continents apart, situations. It finally clicked a couple of days ago. The chorus is deliberately "difficult" in its phrasing for that reason. And I'm surprised that Sean still wants me in his band after this!
