XTC - Dying (1986)
Lyrics:
It frightens me when you come to mind The day you dropped in the shopping line And my heart beats faster when I think of all the signs, all the signs When they carried you out your mouth was open wide The cat went astray and the dog did pine for days and days And I felt so guilty when we played you up When you were ill, so ill
What sticks in my mind is the sweet jar On the sideboard. And your multicolored tea cozy What sticks in my mind is the dew-drop hanging off your nose Shriveled up and blue And I'm getting older, too But I don't want to die like you Don't want to die like you, don't want to die like you
This very haunting piece by XTC (Colin Moulding) always makes me think of how vulnerable we humans really are, as it makes me reminded of my grandmother, who was always very kind and lively when I was a kid, always saved a huge smile for me, and suddenly she got bad or sick over night, and it was quite a shock to see how fast life can change so sudden, just within a few hours.

Since 2009, I have created a 'Summer Mix' - featuring songs that one can crank up during the summer time or songs one can lounge in the backyard to.
I'm still doing this for this year, but I'm creating a bonus compilation:
'Joker's COVID-19 Mix'
So far, I have:
Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely - Husker Du Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely - Green Day Better Days - OneRepublic Don't Stand So Close To Me - The Police Six Feet Apart - Luke Combs Tough People Do - Brett Kissel Stuck With U - Ariana Grande (<3) & Justin Bieber
The last three songs are inspirational:
I'm Still Hangin' On - John Anderson I'm Still Standing - Elton John
And....I'm Still Here by Vertical Horizon
This song will be on both compilations this year. Back in February, there was an announcement at work that there would be job cuts. This was before it was declared there was a pandemic.
Luckily, I was not one of the ones that was let go. And, because I'm doing my part in preventing the spread of this virus, for two reasons....
I'M STILL HERE!!!!

A quarantine-era spoof of Hank Snow's "I've Been Everywhere, Man"!

The album this song is from was released on July 24th 2020, but it turns out all the songwriting was complete before the pandemic. Nevertheless, it makes for a great COVID-19 anthem. PRIMAL FEAR - I Am Alive
