Looking for a lost rainbow

This week destiny gave me another gift in the form of an almost fully formed track from July 2015. I've been doodling around some (somewhat promising but inconclussive) sonic sketches and trying to enjoy myself during my free time. Almost no news, no pandemic statistics and no politicians arguing onstage.
Just my PS4 playing the wonderful "Until Down" and some "Detroit", and watching tv with my family.
I chosed this project because it felt somehow both nice, bouncy and a little disjointed and out of place at the same time, like something is missing or could be improved somewhere. I don't want to sound pretentious or anything but this captures the mood of these days for me.
As some of you may know, I work in shifts, away from home for several days. Next weekend I'll leave for maybe fifteen to twenty days and still don't know certain "trivial" details like accomodation and complete schedule because, even under these exceptional conditions we're all living in, some people in charge, sitting in front of their precious Excel sheets think that "we should check the numbers first and don't make unnecessary expenses". If we had a zombie outbreak, I'm sure they are the kind of people who wouldn't authorise purchasing baseball bats because "wood is expensive"
I don't want to bore you with the details, because a lot of people is having much much harder times than me. Being here, healthy and safe, typing my song's description is a privilege in itself.
It just feels like I need a mental break from all the nonsense, from the side of society that shows it's worse side when people (and themselves) need the most to be supportive and caring to each other.
I want my happy place, I want to find my lost rainbow
Sorry for the rant. You all give me strenght, both with your art and your words. Thanks for being out here in the world, Weeklybeats family. Take care of yourselves, wherever you are around this beautiful planet of ours.
