about

Right before the shutdown was announced in LA because of COVID-19, a bit before social distancing became mainstream and bars were still open, I went out dancing. There were about 10 people. It felt pretty eerie, especially for a spot so heavily crowded usually. So during quarantine stuck in a studio, decided to write 'Dancing Is Dangerous In Los Angeles', which was inspired by that experience.

lyrics

And now dancing is dangerous
And you’ve got nowhere to go

And if you’re missing Los Angeles
Well now you’re really back home

So dancing is dangerous
If you know you’ve got a cold

So nobody’s going out
Especially the old

If you need me
If you need me
If you need me
I’m sorry

And if you want things
if you want things
If you want things

In the coming months
(The coming months)

If I die of a roshambo
(Roshambo)

I’ll be laughing in my grave

That it wasn’t what you said
(So you say)

And no one is to blame
(I hope I’m not)

I don’t want to shame
(So you say)

But if you come near me
(In the coming months)

I’ll let you relate
(It’s not the best) time

So yeah dancing is dangerous
For a limited time

And if you’re getting restless
There’s a whole backyard out there

You’re feeling so
So far away
But it’s not because of today

Line up for guns
Line up for paper
Both things won’t protect your ass

If you need me
If you need me
If you need me
I’m sorry

And if you want things
If you want things
If you want things

For the next few weeks
Got a brand new vacation
And if you die from a lightning strike
I’ll be laughing at your funeral
(I hope I’m not)

And no one is to blame
(So you say)

I don’t want to shame
(I hope I’m not)

And if you come near me
(In the coming months)

I’ll let you relate
(It’s not the best)

Remember, the number 1 is love
