I’m Still There

It’s All Quiet Now is about something that happened to me recently. Well, more like happened adjacent to me. There was a hostage situation in the building I work in. I work on the ground floor and it happened in the cafe across the hall. I wasn’t technically a hostage, although I and the people I was with, couldn’t get out for a few hours. I could see the hostages and there wasn’t much than a bit of glass between me and a man with a gun.

This song is about how, although I escaped, I never really left. I can picture the events of that day like it just happened and it doesn’t exactly help that I still have to work in that building everyday. I made it out and life appears normal and quiet but it will never be the same. While the world moves on, I’m still there. Trying to get out.

Love
Roxanne
