6 Feet Wide

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


So – I wrote a wee Covid-19 lullaby. I suppose it was bound to happen.

Have a listen; perhaps you'll find it relatable.

xo, zippy


'6 Feet Wide'

roads are empty – schools are closed all the people have been sent home there's a silence in our cities unlike anything we've known while we rearrange our lives, in a world on pause there's stillness on all sides, 6 feet wide

6 feet wide – 6 feet wide – 6 feet wide

everything looks different now, in such unfamiliar ways long shadows creep down quiet streets no brake-lights on the freeways I don't mind the change the pace – it all moved too fast anyway maybe we all needed a break to slow down, and take some space

6 feet wide – 6 feet wide – 6 feet wide

I hear people sayin, 'make good use of your time in quarantine' but, more pressure to be 'something better' well, that's the last thing we need no – you don't have to write that book you don't have to get in shape I think it's ok if we all take a moment to breathe into this place

6 feet wide – 6 feet wide – 6 feet wide

it's anyone's guess how this will all end and, what kind of world it'll be but I know we're resilient; we'll be ok, eventually so I'll just keep reaching through this pixelated screen 'cause somehow we're growing closer despite our distancing

6 feet wide – 6 feet wide – 6 feet wide

    so very beautiful, hope you are safe and sound, here in Spain we have had the strictest lockdown in Europe, we're still not allowed to walk for health, been 53 days indoors with not a single stretch of my legs out but once to hospital. We are hoping to be able to walk out May on, kids maybe Monday. My heart breaks a little knowing that things will be different but I love birds chirping, the bluer skies... I like the quiet streets... but I long to be able to walk, Nature, even not seeing anyone else. I'm just flowing ahead. And I agree, it seems you need to finish all pending things during this time, but I just try to thrive. Lovely voice Zippy!
