Songs I Will Forever Relate to the COVID Pandemic

As we all know that music has a way of taking you back in time. Reminds you of what you were going through when you were listening to that song and how it spoke to you.

I have two songs that I believe will forever remind me of the pandemic. 

1) Jeremy Camp - Keep Me in the Moment - This video came out the week of the lockdowns. It is about time, slowing down, and appreciating loved ones. The lockdowns really did slow down everything. Made me realize how important relationships are!

I’ve been thinking ‘bout time And where does it go How can I stop my life from passing me by I don’t know I’ve been thinking ‘bout family and how it’s going so fast Will I wake up one morning just wishing that I could go back I’ve been thinking ‘bout lately maybe I can make a change and let You change me So, with all of my heart this is my prayer Singing Oh Lord keep me in the moment Help me live with my eyes wide open ‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me Singing Oh Lord show me what matters Throw away what I’m chasing after ‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me Keep me in the moment Keep me in the moment Keep me in the moment ‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me When I wake up in the morning Lord, search my heart Don’t let me stray, I just wanna stay where You are All I got is one shot, one try One go around in this beautiful life Nothing is wasted when everything’s placed in Your hands I’ve been thinking about heaven And the promise You hold So, it’s all eyes on You until the day You call me home



2) The second song is Movin' On by Jonathon McReynolds. It's about moving on from failures. But in the video, someone is packing up their stuff and starting new. Millions of Americans moved during the pandemic. I, myself, moved. It really gave me hope that a new location can be a fresh start.
