A song I wrote to rally against the idea of collectivism, in any form, be it on the right or left, as it has wrought much pain and damage and millions upon millions dead. This is a song that speaks about the strength of individualism that stands for America. It's more anthem-themed. When it opens, it's a chant. "Ohh, ohh, ohh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh--oh-oh, ohh, oh-oh, ohh, oh-oh." Then after every line, I imagine a bit of a clap, or a thump on a bass drum, twice. E.g. "We stand up (boom, boom) We don't kneel (boom, boom)." I think people can get the gist when they read it.

In thought of those suffering from COVID-19, and in memory of those who died. You are still a hero, you fought the good fight. And my heart goes out to the families of loved ones suffering; isolating themselves and having to live with the guilt of knowing their loved one is sick and fading. Just give it to God. You are loved.

This is definitely a throwback to the days of olden country. The "chorus" in this song is basically a few bars of guitar while speaking "I said it's fine." More than anything, think of this as a talking-blues sort of song. It's guided very much by a rhythmic cadence that evokes something like an old Johnny Cash tune, though the lyrics are all mine.

Ever called yourself a tornado?
