I was thinking and I was drinking and I got this feeling, I’ve gotta get out! Being confined at home for three plus months provided plenty of time for soul searching. Let’s go out tonight, I wanna go out tonight. Happy Independence Day!
Lockdown Session 9
This tribute is a liberating tune by the Hanson Brothers. It is time to get out and mingle to escape the insanity of our captivity. Let’s go out tonight!
Our project was driven by our desire to always find a way to do what makes us happy. During the lockdown it was recording tributes to the songs we have carried through life and suddenly provides clearer meaning to us. We offer this last track in the lockdown series of tributes.
