Mercury Retrograde Is Strange As Anything

Lyrics: written in 30 minutes during the skirmish. These strange times.
Music and demo: the next morning. I tried to write a slow blues shuffle using a whole tone progression to meet the suggestion of strange music. That did not quite work, but I shuffled it around until I had music that was singable but still strange.
Lyrics
So many people breaking up in confusion
People staying offline because the Internet is an illusion
The same with the past but still looking back in regret
No shopping cart because what could you possibly get
Humans writing songs for robots to sing
This Mercury retrograde has been strange as anything
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an epidemic of doubt
If it happens to you then just try to ride it out
Don’t try to place blame don’t seek a solution
You’re the same as everyone affected by the current confusion
Take it from someone who thought he’d seen everything
This Mercury retrograde has been strange as anything
Messages won’t send and candles won’t burn
Relief does not arrive and the tide simply won’t turn
It’s not just you and it’s not your imagination
It seems like the world has been tuned to a different vibration
The people who always know have been left wondering
This Mercury retrograde has been strange as anything

I too am interested in which way you aim to take this musically.
