with almost the entire country on lockdown
more and more artists
are turning to social media
to play live shows into their phones
hoping that someone else
somewhere else
will watch them
its strange
going from an electric live perfomance
with crazy drunk people screaming songs with you
to dec quite on your couch
playing acoustic guitars
cause that's what is expected
i heard on the radio
they made a tv special
out of live streamed concerts
being filmed by the worse camera
in these people's phones
recorded by a phone microphone
broadcast on national tv
instead of the internet
i miss the dark clubs
and the shitty people
who always complain about my height
chris #2 played Brandenburg Gate alone on instagram
and i couldn't help but be sad
that i wasn't sweaty
arm in arm with some strangers
singing at the top of my lungs
all of the things i was looking forward to
are getting postponed or cancelled
i want to try and stay optimistic
but that gets harder
everyday that i have to leave my house
and risk my life
cause my job is "essential"
