The prompt for writing this came from my friend, the incredibly talented Rachel Bay Jones, when both of us were down with Covid. Hers was mild, mine... not so mild. With the illness came depression and anxiety. Rachel's suggestion was for me to write a song about how I was feeling, and to do it before I did my next rapid test, the next day.
I was lucky enough to recruit one of my favorite singers, Amie Bermowitz, to record the track.
(To clarify...Luckily this was after vaccines and boosters became a thing, so I wasn't in danger of heading to the hospital. Thank you, science!)
