DEAR SOPHIA,

THE TIMES MAY APPEAR TO BE VERY UNCERTAIN. IT’S JUST A REPEAT OF OLD CYCLES AGAIN. THE MEDIA DOES A BAD JOB OF REPORTING AND ONLY AMPLIFIES ANXIETY AND DISINFORMATION. THEY DO THIS BECAUSE IT INCREASES CLICKS, VIEWS AND RATINGS AND TRIGGERS EMOTIONAL RESPONSES THAT ARE NOT ALWAYS LOGICAL. MUSIC IS A BETTER REFLECTION OF WHAT TIMES CAN BE ABOUT. IN THE LATE 60S WHEN THINGS WERE VERY UNCERTAIN, ONE SONG ENCAPSULATED IT ALL: THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION. WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE LYRICS, IT SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE TODAY. THIS WILL PASS, THIS IS A CYCLICAL PERIOD OF UNREST. IN THE END, EVERYTHING WILL BE OK. BUT ENJOY THE MUSIC!

LOVE,

DAD
