We know it is not ideal, but we still carry with us the optimism that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We have nullified practically all social life\u2014but we know the rules and so far, it\u2019s alright&#8230;right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sound and Vision \u2013 David Bowie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We become wearier by the second as we stare at our same four walls and the fullest extent of our freedom from behind those pale blinds. We sit and wonder how to occupy our time in this seemingly endless expanse of consciousness amid our captivity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sorry You\u2019re Sick \u2013 Ted Hawkins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the friends who try to sustain us in any way they can. We may not be able to be with them, but their love-from-a-distance still touches our hearts. Like the song itself, these acts of kindness bring short, sweet bursts of respite to our ongoing struggle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It Never Entered My Mind \u2013 Ella Fitzgerald<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What were we thinking about at this time last year? \u201cOnce I laughed when I heard you saying \/ That I&#8217;d be playing solitaire \/ Uneasy in my easy chair \/ It never entered my mind.\u201d Furthermore, we\u2019ve gotten to point of losing all pretense. Doing your hair? Washing your face? Expecting to have any sort of social life? Instead, we just get up each day and sip on our orange juice for one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I Want to Break Free \u2013 Queen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cabin fever is beginning to set in. We\u2019re wearing ourselves down with our own company. How much longer can we take this?<\/p>\n<p><strong>I Wanna Go Outside \u2013 Snoop Dogg<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hottest quarantine jam of 2020, and a voice for the people, courtesy of Snoop Dogg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chamber of Reflection \u2013 Mac DeMarco<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After denial, anger, and bargaining, things are starting to look quite bleak. We try to content ourselves with the idea that soon things will be different\u2014yet every day we find ourselves alone. Again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lemon Tree \u2013 Fool\u2019s Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no more beauty. There are no more blue skies. We are surrounded by an endless spectacle of sourness as we sit and wallow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alone Again (Naturally) \u2013 Gilbert O\u2019Sullivan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Really, what did it ever feel like to be with other people? In and out of quarantines, lockdowns, social restrictions\u2026 we are facing a crisis every day, and what faith or hope do we have anymore? \u201cIn my hour of need \/ I truly am indeed \/ alone again, naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nobody \u2013 Johnny Cash<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our mastery of cynicism has reached its highest highs amid our lowest lows. We have decided that it is time to give up on people altogether.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alone and Suffering (Interlude) \u2013 Lil Ugly Mane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are basically just crying in our beds, vibing to sad beats, and ruminating on our pain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I Will Survive \u2013 Gloria Gaynor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, we are stronger than this. We know we will one day go on to live a life that extends beyond this room. We can make it through this little interlude and know that it does not foretell a greater pattern of misfortune. And until then, don\u2019t you dare try and visit me!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s New? \u2013 Billie Holiday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is the day we have been dreaming of. Those first, tentative conversations we\u2019ve been obsessively playing out in our minds for weeks, or months even\u2026yet could we ever have imagined how it would really feel?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Songs to Quarantine Yourself to 9 months into COVID, and the quarantines keep coming.
