about

This uplifting song is about finding love in lockdown. We believe that masks and vaccines save lives, as does love and human connection.
Our latest love song was (again) written and created completely in lockdown with a little help from friends across the globe, who wanted to be part of this journey of finding 'lockdown love.'
Many thanks to all who sent us their videos for this project. It was so beautiful to see and feel our shared humanity and connection even though we are so far away; across Australia, Malta, the UK, India, wherever you are, it is truly an honour to have your faces in this video.
We hope that it fills you with hope and optimism for times ahead, lighting a candle in your soul.

lyrics

Finally, you and me, standing here
It's been an unprecedented year
Shut the door, draw the blinds so they can't see
That you're not social distancing from me

Let me take off your mask
How long I've dreamed of kissing you
Let me take off your mask
Whatever you've got, I want it too
My heart is beating so fast
And now you're with me at last
Let me take off your mask

That Tuesday, you waved at me on Zoom
I prayed one day we'd be in the same room
Now both our summer jobs have fallen through
But I know what we're supposed to do

---

Generation covid
That's what they'll call us
I've been safe and sensible
But you make me dangerous
Fumbling at your straps
Untying the knot
Each breath is uncertain
But I'm sure about you
You're the only future I've got
