Evening all!
The lockdown gets to us all... this, I guess, is my lockdown song.... sorta kinda - the chorus lyric definitely came from that place..
This is the first time in ages I've produced anything other than a 1+1 and (I checked) the first time in over a year I've added drums to a track - I fell out with them big time a while back. So it was challenging in the extreme... Last song was all organic, and acoustic including the piano.. this time I'm in midi heaven... only "real" instrument is the bass.. and the vox obviously.. Massive shout out to the very patient
@Jambrains for helping me in the background including identifying some mad stuff I introduced into a mix by accident (note to self - be careful playing with Logic plugins!!!)... and other sage advice to a "challenged" mixer..
I'm sure I'm not done - so please as always, honest feedback on all and any aspects.. There's one lyric line I'll change at least (I won't say which one but it's annoying me and it's my 5th version of the line!) ...

I can't bear it
This feeling tugging at me
I swear it's coming out of nowhere
Now it's swirling, curling 'round my sanity
You hold me to calm me 'cos I'm gasping for air
I've gotta get out of here
Gotta run, gotta jump, gotta land right
And then I know we'll be alright
We gotta get out of here
Gotta run through open spaces
With no familiar faces
Just you and me
I can't take it
Cant' take any more fear
It's pouring through my body like rain
My reserves are depleted
I'm weak and I'm needy
You want me to believe that I'm not going insane
I've gotta get out of here
Gotta run, gotta jump, gotta land right
And then I know we'll be alright
We gotta get out of here
Gotta run through open spaces
With no familiar faces
Just you and me
No more isolation
These walls are crashing in on me
The lights are flashing, blinding me
You're my inspiration
You see in me what I don't see
You bolster me
Cos you believe in me
I've gotta get out of here
Gotta run, gotta jump, gotta land right
And then I know we'll be alright
We gotta get out of here
Gotta run through open spaces
With no familiar faces
Just you and me
