We've been missing you and missing each other.
To help us stay connected, we've started a record-from-home covers project.
Track 2 in our cover series is a Greg pick -- Magazine's "A Song From Under the Floorboards." Check out the cover and Greg’s notes on why he picked this song below.
Cover Notes:
Rumor has it this song was inspired by "Notes From Underground," Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1864 novella about an unnamed man who is so bitter that he feels unable to live in society. It's a real page-turner. I happened to finish reading it on March 13th. That date, for me, was the last day of pre-quarantine life.
I picked this song partly for that coincidence, but also because I think most of us are struggling with the isolation that is required from social distancing. This song and that book do a great job of expressing the spiritual GROSSNESS of feeling isolated. In doing so, they prove what is so valuable about human society. Luckily, this track is extremely catchy, so if the thought of a song about ISOLATION is the last thing you need right now, you can ignore the lyrics and hum the tune. Natasha and Nicole's vocals make it easy.
