New Music And a Global Pandemic / by Annie Mitchell

Los Angeles shelter in place orders are active due to covid 19. We're to only go out for food and healthcare. I've personally been in isolation for over 3 weeks. This song emerged during that time. The rain at the end is from LA a few days ago. The guitar is a sampling from my playing a few months ago. The singing is my own. The video is from Venice Beach last week, the day after the shelter order went into effect...obviously manipulated.

I haven’t known what to say about all of this. It’s all been said by more eloquent people than myself. It’s scary though. I’m 43 and I’ve never seen a global event even resembling this. Horrible that it had to take a global pandemic to bring us together as human beings, but hey…whatever it takes. We have certainly needed a collective wakeup call and whoo-boy…here it is. It just really sucks that so many people have to suffer and die as a result. I’m so so worried about everyone and sending all the good vibrations I can muster out to the world. Please be safe and don’t hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do to help. I’ll even jump on zoom to cheer you up or maybe we could do a Netflix Party and watch Tiger King while making crude commentary about how fucked up THAT shit is. Whatever it takes. <3

Stay safe. You are loved.

Love and Light,
Annie
