Complications
from The Lockdown LP by Dave Bradley
about
If the 7-incher wasn't enough to satisfy, this is the RevCoffee 12" extension.
I dreamed I was with my band in an airport all flights were cancelled our suitcases were empty we were going nowhere, the singer and I wrote some lyrics and we came up with a weird chord progression - Am-Em-Bb7. This song is about that...although it doesn't use that progression...haha.
Free to download, but given its subject matter, perhaps you'd consider donating to the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund setup by the WHO.

Incidentally, The Who, the band, had to cancel their tour because of the coronavirus, I wonder if that's what my dream was triggered by, that and my band having to cancel their fundraiser gig at the end of the month :-(

Complications
Last night in a dream
I was sitting on an empty suitcase
with the singer from the band
All the 'planes were grounded
so we wrote a little song.
You won't want to sing along
You won't want to sing along
We're not leaving on a jetplane
We ain't gonna fly away for too long
Maybe this all seems very simple
But the chords were askew
an A to an E with a flat five or two.
There's always complication
It sounded like an empty plan
it was only a dream in isolation
Distance is the norm along with desolation
We need to stay connected to stay sane
We need to be in our bands
But, it's not too hard to touch your face,
to wipe away a tear, when your head's in your hands
your head's in your hands
when your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
Last night in a dream
I was sitting on an empty suitcase
with the singer from the band
All the 'planes were grounded
so we wrote a little song.
You won't want to sing along
You won't want to sing along
We're not leaving on a jetplane
We ain't gonna fly away for too long
Maybe this all seems very simple
But the chords were askew
an A to an E with a flat five or two.
There's always complication
It sounded like an empty plan
it was only a dream in isolation
Distance is the norm along with desolation
We need to stay connected to stay sane
We need to be in our bands
But, it's not too hard to touch your face,
to wipe away a tear, when your head's in your hands
your head's in your hands
when your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
Your head's in your hands
