Hey Everybody,

I know... I know.

It has been a year, and most of us are ready to bust out.

Don't freak out! We've made it this far.

But get ready, my friends. I can't wait to get back out there and see you, see people, play shows.

We all can't wait.

But until the great hug-fest, I made you this song. You can turn it up real loud and I hope it helps.

I've had to learn a lot during this pandemic. Like how to record myself. I was never interested in that. I've had such an aversion to turning knobs my whole life. But, with help, I got just enough figured out.

Drummer Aaron Latos recorded his drums himself from his own private island. Next, me and my shut-in self played the other instruments and sang. Then, we sent the tracks down the street to Jonny Taylor who mixed it last weekend. And while no human contact is a bummer, this song does all the things I had hoped it would do.

<<< WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER >>>
***LYRICS***

When this is all over
We’re hitting the road
First stop grandma’s
Then who knows
I hope we get stranded

nothing to fear
Make some new friends with

jumper cables and beer

When this is all over
I’m getting that tattoo
Clear across my chest
And I ain’t asking you
I’m feeling wild
A little unhinged
Dreaming of a world
With all my friends

I’ve been waiting so long
Just to bust out
Tell me when its over
Cos i'm gonna freak out

When this is all over
I got me a plan
Im gonna go around shaking

every last hand
If you got one
Just put er there
Lets get shaking

Everywhere

When this is all over
The kids are gonna smooch
Out in the wide open
And there’s nothing you can do
They’ve been waiting

for so long
Imagine hitting puberty
During lockdown

When this is all over
Im going out on a limb
Im going so far out
I might not come back here again

Been waiting so long
To seize the day
When this is all over
Get outta my way

about

Stephen Clair image

Stephen Clair Beacon, New York

“Blending the kind of jaggedly cool guitar and piano that put Spoon on the map with a deadpan, almost spoken-word vocal delivery, the song quickly evolves into a righteous bar band anthem that feels as much linked to acts like the Hold Steady as it does to Wilco”
