HOME RECORDING IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS
*
Lorenzo Bertocchini wrote this song in the spring of 2020.
Some of you may have heard it at one of his livestreams on Facebook: "Live In The Time Of Coronavirus".
This is the fifth of his "Home Recordings In The Time Of Coronavirus" available here.
It was captured just like Lorenzo would play it online: live, with no overdubs.
"On March 13, 2020 I did my very first Facebook livestream. I was on a balcony, like all other Italians who, with their voices, their instruments, or their pots and pans, vented their desire for sociability after the first moments of lockdown.
At that time, we all thought <This situation is so surreal, and it may last up to two weeks!>
Two years later, I remember the feeling I got when the TV said that we all had to wear face masks...
'Mask' is one of the songs I wrote then, and I think it is finally time to release it." (Lorenzo Bertocchini, March 13, 2022)
You can now download it for free.
Please share it with your friends! ;-)
MASK
[words and music by Lorenzo Bertocchini]
SIAE 2020/Pongo Edizioni
In the elevator
In the City Hall
In the subway station
In the shopping mall
Don't forget to wear your mask
Your new duty, your new task
Don't forget to wear your mask
Every day, everywhere that you go
If you don't wear it, BoJack Horseman will kick your ass
GodPigeon will fly by and shit on your new hat
Popeye will smoke all your grass
And Trump and all his family will move into your flat
In the office
In the taxi cab
In the museum
In the space lab
Don't forget to wear your mask
Your new duty, your new task
Don't forget to wear your mask
Every day, everywhere that you go
If you don't do it, Peppa Pig will take you down and make you pay
The Paw Patrol will show you who's who, and put you in your place
Batman will break you down and set you straight
And Spiderman will tie you up and spit soup on your face
Don't forget to wear your mask
Your new duty, your new task
Don't forget to wear your mask
Every day, everywhere that you go
