“When we started our isolation, I found myself out of sorts (like most of us surely did). My energy was very low. I had poured so much of myself into preparing for Coachella, and suddenly… nothing.
Like everyone else, I was stunned and a little shell-shocked. I decided to return to an orchestral commission, but I found that my fucus was also whacked from everything turning upside down.
Weirdly, as I struggled through those first few weeks, an old tune I had written decades ago began running through my mind. I didn’t know why, but it didn’t go away. Eventually I decided not to resist and laid down tracks, just for the simple pleasaure. It’s really almost like a nursery rhyme. Maybe under all that stress that’s why it came back to me, and just the act of recording it was really calming for my brain.
I decide finally to share it with everyone. It’s silly and simple. Playing everything and singing live to my backing tracks. This things is funky! This is NOT my new single or for a new album that I’m working on. Just a little something that was fun to record and relaxed me, and maybe it will do the same for you? Totally home-made! Daughter @malielfman shot it on her iPhone, and home Jon Mann Krieger (my Danny and Buddy Show collaborator) edited it. Hope you like it!

You’ve got me so
I’m running round and round on circles
You’ve got me so
I can’t see my own face
You got me so
I feel I’ve been like this forever
You’ve got me so
I move without a trace
I know what’s on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I know what’s on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I’m running on a treadmill after you
I’m running on a treadmill now.
I’m running on a treadmill after you
I’m running on a treadmill now.
You got me so
I’m running round and round in circles
You’ve got me so
I’m living upside down
You’ve got me so
I’m coming but I might be going
You’ve got me so
I never touch the ground
I know what’s on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I know what’s on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I’m running on a treadmill after you
I’m running on a treadmill now.
I’m running on a treadmill after you
I’m running on a treadmill now.
You’ve got me so
I even doubt my own reflection
You’ve got me so
My heart is inside out
You got me
Armor offers no protection
You got my head and body filled with doubt
I know what’s on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I know what’s on your mind
But its not what you think it is.
I’m running on a treadmill after you
I’m running on a treadmill now.
I’m running on a treadmill after you
I’m running on a treadmill now.
