Correct, because the virus is transmitted through the air via tiny moisture droplets, which are filtered by the mask. It's quite simple, really, no need to frame it as something magic and mysterious by saying "somehow" like it's Palpatine returning from the dead.

The greatest set since quite a while. Started with Pearl Jam and a passable Bordeaux kept it going!
we need negative value to evaluate this type of songs, very very boooring
Politics aside, not bad...I occasionally hear a little Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes in the vocalizations (or maybe it's the other way around since Oberst is junior).

One of the tedious darlings of RP. Consistently cloying, grating, sucko, and barfo.
At least in this one he's not inviting me to travel as equals with him.
Compared Joseph Arthur, the Cloud Cult and their annoying "There's So Much Energy In Us" is a bloody listenable tune.

I really like lots of Joseph Arthur, not this one though. Lots of good words not enough music.
Nicked from "The Best" - the Tina Turner song. Except this goes on...and on......and on..............................
Too bad nothing else from this album ever gets played on RP. If you like this song or Joseph Arthur in general, this album is well worth checking out. I Used to Know How to Walk on Water and Famous Friends along the Coast are good ones to try--the former includes some nice help from Ben Harper.

And as for lyrical criticism - people - if you want examples of artists that phone it in, just listen to mainstream radio. You may not find the lyrics to your liking - but the man most certainly put a poetic heart into them. And if in your opinion he failed - at least he put in the effort. I can think of a plethora of artists that clearly don't.

It's Friday, Spring is finally here, life is good, Iowa State plays tonight in the sweet 16, this song is wonderful!

No. Ostentatious lyricist w/o a distinctive vocal.
So earnest, but alas, so grating. Bruce Cockburn wannabee?

the DJ is an artist, an exceptional one! Neko, The Amazing Rhythm Aces then this gorgeous piece by JA, have me wrapped in a warm state of high bliss! Thank you

Joseph Arthur is definitely an acquired taste. I had Redemption's Son in my collection for several years before I decided to pay attention, and find that the first 9 songs are brilliant, but that he sometimes wanders off and could edit himself down a bit as is evidenced by the last 6 songs on that album.
See him live- currently touring with Mike Mills on bass guitar- very lively show!
I don't normally comment...but this song is great!
A 7 for now. Nicely written. Thoughtful and musically inspired. Well delivered. A little busy, but we'll see how that tests with time.

It's like he drank a quart of bad whiskey, listened to Bruce Springsteen for 3 hours, and scratched down this song.

Joseph Arthur is either growing on me or getting better.
