Just a quick list for today. My mind has been going through my mental Rolodex and I have hit upon my Top 10 songs for the COVID 19 homebound.
Ten Songs For Those Alone At Home
10. Stuck in the Middle With You. Stealers Wheel. A song to sing to the empty chairs on your left and right.
9. The World Outside. The Four Aces. As you gaze out your window and yearn for an end to social distancing.
8. Every Breath You Take. The Police. It’s good you are breathing, just don’t exhale in my direction.
7. I Saw Her Standing There. The Beatles. But I stayed six feet away and she turned and walked away.
6. One Man’s Ceiling is Another Man’s Floor. Paul Simon. And that thin layer of floorboard and carpeting may be all that’s keeping you safe.
5. Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. Les Misérables. This isn’t the first time we have been all alone.
4. Rocket Man. Elton John. If I am going to be alone, get me up, up, and away.
3. The End. The Doors. Keep your hopes up, this too will end and we will be together.
2. The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle. The Wellingtons. When you feel like you are all alone on a desert island, just remember that the Harlem Globetrotters could show up any day.
1. Alone Again (Naturally). Gilbert O’Sullivan. Naturally.
I am sure there are many more. Send ’em in. We are all in this together.
And don’t miss our COVID Haiku–They have traveled around the world.
