about

A song for everyone during this pandemic. "This quarantine is not too cool," sings 7-year old Henry. Boy, he ain't kidding! Uncle Mike provided the music for Henry's first single. Stay safe out there, kids! These may be "touch luck times" but at least we've got each other.

lyrics

I wanna go back to my school
This quarantine is not too cool
I wanna stroll through the dollar store
I can’t remember what my fingers,
remember what my fingers are for

I wanna shake hands with my friends
I wanna dance until the music ends
I wanna tell a secret in your ear
I’m going crazy waking up in,
crazy waking up in fear

These are… Tough Luck Times
Can’t wait to leave them behind
Tough Luck Times...I’m sure that I’d lose my mind
If I didn’t have you

I wanna sit in your living room
Don’t wanna talk to anybody on Zoom
You’re mouth doesn’t sync with your voice
I’m at the edge of forgetting,
forgetting that I once had a choice

I wanna lose myself in the crowd
I’ve found my voice is just a little too loud
I never liked to be pushed and shoved
I get annoyed by the void, I’m destroyed by the absence of love

These are… Tough Luck Times
Can’t wait to leave them behind
Tough Luck Times...I’m sure that I’d lose my mind
If I didn’t have you
