about

We recorded a slightly messy, socially distant demo of this song two years ago. When we finally got back into the studio together, we made this less messy version. Sadly, the song still feels all too timely....

lyrics

Spring is here again, don’t tell the snow on the ground
All the people in their heavy coats, they want to get out of town

But don’t worry, the sun shines, the planet’s gonna be just fine
It’s us people, we ain’t got much time

A friend got sick the other day, infection would not go away
Strongest drugs not strong enough, say goodbye to all you love

But don’t worry, the sun shines, the planet’s gonna be just fine
It’s us people, we ain’t got much time

Remember all the power we had, drove so many people mad
The gasoline, the fossil fuels
We used up every drop, we poisoned all the crops
How could we be such fools?
No point in looking back, our kids they’ll never adapt
Of course, of course, they call us cruel

When you’re living underground, the silence grows profound
End days have finally come, there’s nowhere left to run

But don’t worry, the sun shines, the planet’s gonna be just fine
It’s us people, we ain’t got much time

So next time you’re blessed with excess, try to be a little more generous
To all those waiting in line, for the world we’ll leave behind

But don’t worry, the sun shines, the planet’s gonna be just fine
It’s us people, we ain’t got much time, time, time
It’s us people, we ain’t got much time, no, no
It’s us people, we ain’t got much time

Doctor Baker Albany, New York

Doctor Baker started out as an acoustic duo featuring singer-songwriter Ed Schwarzschild and guitarist Iggy Calabria, two wayward Philadelphians who met in Albany, NY. After adding Danny Goodwin on drums and Chris Gockley on bass, Doctor Baker sounds a lot louder, and the band's strong, sound medicine has begun to heal audiences in the Capital Region and beyond. ... more
