about

I wrote this song toward the beginning of the stay at home orders in PA. It's about learning to adjust to all of our new normals during this time -- whether that's working from home or going out into a new, scary version of what we knew. It's also a song about maintaining hope, and learning that hope, like love, is more verb than noun.

lyrics

Honey, I'm going out on the porch and I'm going armed
Cup of coffee in my right hand, in my left an old guitar
On days like this, the sun feels like it's blinding
And on other days, it feels like it's hiding in the rain

Honey, I'm going out on the town, but I'm staying here
I'll finish up this bottle of wine and maybe have another beer
On days like this, I guess I need reminding
That days like this are gonna find me in the rain

Honey, I'm looking for a way to refill my hope
I'm realizing it takes some work and there ain't no antidote
I'll try my very best to keep on showin' up
And on days I can't, I'll just fill my cup with rain
