The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has certainly created a roller coaster of experiences for the world in such a short period of time, and somehow The Ready Set’s song “The Witching Hour” really captures that feeling of being kept awake at night overthinking things, or being so over “the new normal” that your mind goes numb and you can’t even think at all.
That being said, I like that this song reminds me how you can make of life what you will, because it’s all in your perception. I think this is what I will need to keep at the forefront of my mind when I’m struggling to fall asleep, be it from my anxiety or from my chronic pain. So grateful that I have loved ones that help re-centre me when I’m overwhelmed by it all.

I wanna try to sleep all night for once Shadows of my past life keep me up Stressing but I can't stop banking on Problems 'cause the good ones end up songs Heard that energy is a constant state Nothing ever ends, it will only change Life is our perception and it's yours to make I need a couple takes Tell me why it feels like drowning here Tell me why it feels so insincere You're overthinking it I wasn't thinking at all Tell me how we got so up in arms Tell me, have I lost that hopeful warmth? You're overthinking it I wasn't thinking at all Wide awake in the witching hour I'm taking medicine I know I shouldn't start and stop Thinking I'm better so I run until my legs both lock And then I fall into a hurricane of empty thoughts Where I become all my own problems when I swore I'd not You are the only thing I got that's taking off the edge You are a wild flower garden growing in my head There's something telling me that I still have a lot to give Maybe there's beauty in all certainty, I hope there is Tell me why it feels like drowning here Tell me why it feels so insincere You're overthinking it I wasn't thinking at all Tell me how we got so up in arms Tell me, have I lost that hopeful warmth? You're overthinking it I wasn't thinking at all Wide awake in the witching hour Wide awake in the witching hour
