“I Miss One Week Ago” by Danish singer/songwriter/composer and Love is Pop favorite Oh Land is the first COV-19-inspired song we’ve come across. Although it’s somber, it’s a very beautiful song nevertheless and it does put things in perspective as she contemplates how a week ago she was stressing about losing her phone and now, well, everything is different. “I worried bout a million things,” she sings. “And all of them irrelevant cause everything has changed.”
Tomorrow we’ll deliver a song that’s mean to be hopeful, but we thought it only appropriate that we share this lovely if melancholic new tune today to provide a moment of reflection. Besides, I think we’re all longing for the days before the word coronavirus was a household name right now and it’s also our goal to provide songs we can relate to it with our #songsforourtimes.
LYRICS:
I Miss One Week Ago
by Oh Land
One week ago from now
I worried that I’d lost my phone
And everyone who tried to reach me would be quite annoyed
One week ago I worried bout a phone
I miss one week ago
One week ago from now
When I was running late again
And missed my exit on the freeway
Couldn’t make a turn
One week ago I worried I was late
I miss one week ago
One week ago from now
I wondered who would appreciate
Or even get the music that I’m trying to create
One week ago I worried out of vain
I miss one week ago
One week ago from now
I got upset at 6am
When birds were chirping violently
The sun was peeking in
One week ago I worried
would I fall asleep again
I miss one week ago
One week ago from now
I worried bout a million Things
And all of them irrelevant cause everything has changed
and Of all my previous worries
I’m ashamed
