"Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute" since we had to be in quarantine all events were shut down and we had to isolate at home so you all could do is live in the moment.

"Im a sad girl, in this big world. Its a mad world" With all the changes that went on throughout the world, it was a new style of life so everyone had to stop with their daily lives and sit in their house for months. Because of this,  sadness spread, relating this song lyric perfectly to our struggles. -Leah B

"Weather and faded, who feels alone in this world -- you do. Too complicated. Its not the same anymore. you're through," Throughout everything that occurred in the quarantine phase, many new arising emotions occurred which mostly was an overwhelming amount of isolation. Whenever I would listen to this song, it gave me a feeling of hope that this event would soon leave in the future and I would be able to spend time with friends and others again. It also made me realize that I was not the only person feeling this emotions which allowed me to preserve through those months.

I chose this song as it the lyrics I felt were very relatable. In the song it even says “I can't do this on my own.” Which is relatable to the situation the world is in now. Joe

“now i’m startin over... wake up in the mornin then i’m gettin back too it” I chose this song because obviously i had it on repeat in quarantine therefore it’s my quarantine song but i chose these lyrics from the song because it really spoke to me and was relatable especially because this song was real sed at the start of quarantine. I’m starting over related to how this whole new way of life will work with masks and separation from everyday people, friends and in some cases even family. The next line also relatable, in quarantine everyday seemed to be the same as the last so when lil uzi says “ wake up in the mornin and i’m getting back to it” it reminds me of the way life was during quarantine the average wake up at 4pm, eat food and play xbox with my boys for countless hours.

The funny part about the performance is it has no lyrics at all. This was actually a contributing factor to my selection. I selected this song because the lack of lyrics draws parallels to the lack-of-planning approach I take to many things, whether it's work or something more for fun. I don't do well planning extensively, and often perform better just winging things.

I've literally only listened to the non-lyrical rendition performed by Hawkins. The song is originally by Benny Goodman and I don't know if there are supposed to be lyrics or not.

Here's the youtube link to the song if you actually want to listen to it.
