about

This is another song that is a part of my home recording project called "Quarantine Dreams". Started writing and recording songs when the pandemic began and now they're coming to fruition with the help of musical collaborators/friends. Hoping to compile enough tracks to eventually release these altogether in a tangible piece of vinyl.
This song came about when my Von Bondies bandmate, Leann Banks, sent a message into the ether about maintaining creative levels throughout all this craziness. I reached out to her and said let's do a dumb Christmas song. I then etched it out on the old 90's Casio keyboard, sent it to her and she sent me back a bad ass bass line. And thus, the creative process of it becoming something started. I recruited hometown bandmates Monica LaPlante to help with the arrangement and vocals and Austin Cecil to put down some real drums. And finally, I got Lil' Dave Merriman (The Arrivals), once again to put in the magic that is his guitar playing. And here it is!

lyrics

Wish I could throw a Christmas Party.
So I could kiss and hug everybody.
Been home a month and feeling the monotony.
I'm bouncing off the walls trying to get jolly.

Took a test now I'm positively 'Rona.
Not surprising for a 2020 Coda.
Wore a mask and it finds a way to roll ya.
Now I'm sinking in the couch tripping out to Baby Yoda.

(chorus) Christmas time in quarantine.
Got a box of wine and Sertraline. To get me with through anxieties.
Santa won't you bring a vaccine tonight.

I'm so bored I hope 3 ghost come to visit me.
Take me back and remind me how things use to be.
Praying in the future we ain't cleaning all the groceries.
And life is looping like we're in some strange movie.

Pretty sad that I can't be with my family.
Kinda glad cuz I always tend to overeat.
What does it matter cuz I can't taste a single thing.
Heaven forbid that we run out of TP.

(Chorus)

Christmas time in quarantine. Got a box of wine and Sertraline.
To get me through this fucking week.
Oh Santa won't you please bring...
It's Christmas time in quarantine.
Stuffing all the stockings with hand sani.
Just cleared out my life savings.
Santa won't you please bring a vaccine tonight!
