about

Life has been so different for everyone in the UK during the pandemic, and there is little of shared experience to go round. Teachers, NHS staff and delivery workers among others have battled their way through a gruelling experience. Some employees have had a "mostly" paid holiday. Self-employed musicians and artists were left with no work. There are many many more stories: all different. But for some people, especially those shielding for health reasons, this time has been a lonely and frightening one. This song is for them. And for anyone who tried to keep doing their P.E. with Joe Wicks.

lyrics

Outdoors

I spoke to you in April, our hearts were so entwined
We laughed and joked for hours, a meeting of two minds
But now there’s something missing, I’m feeling kinda numb
When you ask me how I’m doing I say UM…

Nothing that exciting, not much to report
I’d like to get a hobby, but I’m really not that sort
The summer’s truly over, and it never rains but pours
and it’s been six weeks since I set foot outdoors

I’ve watched all of the movies on my pay-per-view TV
I’ve seen a million videos of cats stuck up in trees
I’ve learned how to make sourdough, but the taste it leaves is strange
And I’d like to see a human for a change

Nothing that exciting, not much to report
I’d go and join the bowls club but I’m not that into sport
The autumn leaves are falling and the east wind howls and roars
And it’s been 6 weeks since I set foot outdoors

I can’t find inspiration while I’m stuck here in my room
My eyes are getting tired and I’m really sick of online meetings
Waiting for an answer to a question I don’t know
And I don’t think things are working out with Joe

Nothing that exciting, not much to report
I’d like to volunteer, but I don’t know if I ought because
the winter cold is coming, with its icy frozen claws
And it’s been 6 weeks since I set foot outdoors

Nothing that exciting, I can’t think what to say
Waiting for the Springtime, and who knows, a brighter day
I’d like to shout and scream and go break 50 different laws
But I guess for now that I’ll just stay indoors
