about
Responding to the onset of nationwide lockdowns on March 16th, Kindiana Jones jumped into action to spread a positive message of hope and connection by doing what they do best - writing collaborative songs. Virtual Hug was composed and arranged by the artists entirely through Zoom meetings. Artists used a hodgepodge of home studio setups, as well as a central mixing session online via Bandlab.com to finalise parts, harmonies, and instrumentation. Home recordings were emailed through to be mixed and produced by Dean Jones at No Parking Studio in Rosendale, NY. The final track was mastered by Alan Douches of West West Side Music in Hudson Valley, NY.
lyrics
Open arms/ open screen
Bridging miles in between/
name a time/ name a place
(For) Coming together/ together!
I’m looking at you/ you’re lookin’ at me
Thru virtual reality/
I’m over here/ you’re over there
Wearing t-shirts/ and underwear!
All around the world there’s nothing but love
Kindiana Jones sends a virtual hug (x2)
Open up your hearts/ Open up your dreams
We're not as far away as it seems
Sing your song out loud / Send your love out proud
To everyone/ everyone!
Open up your / open your screens
We’re in this together in any weather/
This ain’t all wrecked yet /we can still connect
You and me/ Yeah, you and me
But it’s still nice to see your face,
Even if we cannot share the space
It won’t be long my friend,
I’ll hold you in my arms again
I don’t know when,
But until then.
Yo, all around the world
people looking through screens
Zooming to the meetings
because we all want to be seen
So, were sending all these hugs
that got ta transcend
to all those little humans on the other end
of the computers, the phones,
the tablets, the zones
the east, the west, wherever your homes
is, calling backyard campers and the garden gnomes
We have time for face., cuz were KindianJones
All around the world there’s nothing but love
Kindiana Jones sends a virtual hug (x2)
