about

Suddenly locked down, having each spent days in quiet homes with new routines, Joey and his band now gather for what could be their last rehearsal for a while. An anxious mix of sadness, gallows' humor and blind optimism permeates the space. Sitting together and facing the new reality, they softly play an ode to companionship, safety, fear, and resolve-- “Inner Being.”

lyrics

Inner Being

Lock down's here
All the fear
Closed away, away...
From the outside

Pathogen
Don't come in
Stay away, away...
From the inside

A quiet home
And new routines
We're on our own marking time
We'll stay within our shell

Fatality
Mortality
It stalks us all statistically
Hope things improve someday, some way

Day by day
Months give way
I'm okay, okay...
When you're near me

So come what may
We'll find our way
We'll seize each day anew
And reinvent the wheel

Make new plans
Break new plans
Turn off the radio and wait
For the sun to shine
