People say we've got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation

We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
I... Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Tryin' to change the whole wide world
I... Isolation

The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
I... Isolation

I don't expect you
To understand
After you've caused
So much pain
But then again
You're not to blame
You're just a human
A victim of the insane

We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
I... Isolation

The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
I... Isolation

I don't expect you
To understand
After you've caused
So much pain
But then again
You're not to blame
You're just a human
A victim of the insane
Victim of the insane

People say we've got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
I... I...

May Jeff    REST IN PEACE!!
EXCELLENT!!  Thanx RP!   
"Victim of the insane" - that's what it looks like from the trial videos.
that was a surprise. didn't know he could sing. did he ever record anything together with Vanessa Paradis? Hard to imagine, but one wonders
Hardly a day goes by that I don't deeply miss John Lennon.  

[But], damn, this is freakin' awesome!  Jeff has still got chops and swagger like he was 22.. and Johnny Depp?  Swagger?  Check that box.

Great performance all around.
Absolute solid 8. Truly excellent.
Where else would you hear this?... Thanks B&R
Wow, this is frickin' amazing! And very apropos... On a daily basis, I feel that if I live through these, the strangest times, I'll die laughing...

I agree!!
Excellent!
So this ROCKS! Never heard it till now. Thanks AGAIN RP! 
This is Johnny Depp singing?  I almost thought it was John Wetton !
Isolation and house arrest sucks. This song is full of angst and pain and protest. Bang on for these times.
Great cover, Jeff hasn't lost his touch at all, and JD is surprisingly good too.

Bill said it may resonate with some of us at this time, a masterful understatement. The lyrics say it all, Lennon was a genius.
This kind'a sort'a seems an extension on a Jeff Beck's Loud Hailer phase.  I like it.  

Jeff Beck.  The guy just keeps on innovating.  Amazing.  Gives all us old farts hope?  Heh!

And who'da thunk Johnny Depp?!!?  I never saw that one coming.  Did you?

Wow, I've never really listened to Johnny Depp, but I've always loved Jeff Beck. Really like Depp's vocals, and the guitar is nice and crunchy at the end - always a plus!
This is a great cover!  Ann Wilson's is phenomenal too.
Interestingly, this was recorded last year, though released at this time (mid-April 2020) in response to this current global pandemic.
