(Go to Hell) 2020

“(Go to Hell) 2020" wrote itself one morning back in the early part of summer while waiting to collaborate on a Skype songwriting session. I've written hundreds of songs over the last decade, many of which were for other artists, and I thought this was going to be another one. I sang a demo of it and had every intention of finding the song a home with some other singer. I then started to realize just how personal it was to me and my family. I realized it was my song to sing. In spite of what the title suggests, I've had some amazing downtime with family this year that I would've never gotten without a total shutdown. I'm very thankful for that, but the fact remains that this time has been so painful for so many. For everyone. I've sung this song on stage, and I've seen the crowds go from a rumble to silent. Sometimes people tear up and sometimes they shout out. The chorus gives a hopeful message that I think we need to focus on right now and that is, it is going to get better. It has to. The song is where I am; it's where I think we all are right now. No tricks, no big production, this was a live studio performance, 3 chords and the truth ... the truth for everyone, I believe.
