From town to town we all shelter inside: QUARANTINE MUSIC Pt. 2
Quarantine Music Pt. 2 is provided by artists who care.
by Walter Price
As the worldwide pandemic and subsequent sequestering linger on, along with all the obligatory twiddling thumbs, paranoias, financial struggles, and/or Tiger King conspiracy theories. There’s one thing we all have in common, the need to feel connected. Not just with partners, family, or friends but the normalcy that our favorite music artists have always brought us. And in these trying times, many, music makers are staying connected to their fans by releasing homemade tracks/videos that are a super-mix of thought-provoking and smile-inducing.
Each week, we’ll share some of the crème de la crème. And please keep in mind, that many of these tracks have personal donations or vast reaching charities connected to them. So help the indie artists and the causes that will get us all through this ordeal.
You are not alone…

Everyone Is Dirty / Quarantine Tiny Desk Submission 2020 – Silver & White
“Trapped in our house during quarantine we bring you a live performance of Silver & White. “Silver& White” is a love-fueled fever dream where friendship and the creative spirit fly through deadly illness on a magic carpet. My musical partner Chris and I have taken turns being the patient and the caregiver for each other as we battle through his Hodgkin’s lymphoma and my liver failure. Guided by my violin and his guitar we hold onto one another on this psychedelic, beautiful and frightening ride.” – EID

You went away but now you’re back
I got down on my knees
And then I begged you please
I always knew you’d take me back
