Director’s Statement: I had the pleasure of connecting with Dan almost a year ago when he reacted to an Instagram story of August, my then 2 year old child singing along to Lay Low. Dan’s music had become a staple within our “quarantimes playlist”. August particularly loved the song, and would sing along unaware of the meaning or how it related to our current context. As was the case for many people, the slow down in work and the sudden, jarring pause to normal life provided lots of time for introspection and observation. It immediately became apparent to me that much of my own internalized feelings of uncertainty, frustration and fear were freely expressed by August on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. August, or Auggie as he would introduce himself, provided us with a perfect abstraction of our own, sometimes unspeakable frustrations with the world we suddenly find ourselves in as we grapple with an uncertain future and a past we cant return to.

Best of times, I’m a little unaware And who’s to say? I don’t know But I can feel my head overflow And I was tired at the get go I don’t want to wait around to fall apart So I will do my part Keep the social graces quick and painless Lay low, just let the day go I’m okay in the shadows Every single party needs a no show Why go just to say so? I’m tired of the same old So point me the way home I can breathe on the way home I don’t mean to be the quiet sullen type I’ve had my day in the sun Just not today and definitely not tonight Give my best to everyone Sometimes I feel my head overflow When all I need is us alone ‘Cause you can always fix me when I fall apart So let’s do our part Keep the social graces quick and painless Lay low, just let the day go I’m okay in the shadows Every single party needs a no show Why go just to say so? I’m tired of the same old So point me the way home I can breathe on the way home I can breathe on the way home, just be on the way home I can breathe on the way home. So point me the way home…
