Our House (in the time of quarantine) (thank you, Madness!)

Though we’d love to have you over, you just can’t come around (during pandemic)! “Our House” (Madness) has been a favorite of our family’s for many years . . . our house has always been filled with love, life, and laughter . . . we are so missing everyone during this time of quarantine – writing, recording, and editing this song helped ease my grief a bit as I revisited many joyful memories from the 23 years we’ve lived here. Thank you, Madness, for your great music. May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Here’s the REMASTERED version (6 months after first release):

And here’s the original:

Music by “Our House” (Madness)

Words by me: Dad’s got coffee in his mug. Mum is knitting, she needs a hug. The kids are grown, we are so proud. We’ll have to shelter in our place. Though we’d love to have you over, you just can’t come around. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, in the middle of COVID. Our house, we pray for you. There is always something to thank God for, and He’ll help us to get through. Stay at home used to be nice. Our friends and family with us, each one adds a lot of spice. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, in the middle of COVID. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, in the middle of CO… Ev’ry room has memories. We’ve been here for a lifetime and we thank God for each one. We cannot wait to be with you. When we’re at the end of all this social distancing. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, in the middle of CO… We remember way back then when we came and went and when we would have such a very good time, such a fine time, such a happy time. And we remember Easter, birthday parties, and sleepovers and we hope we can all be here together this Christmas. Dad’s got coffee in his mug. Mum is knitting, she needs a hug. The kids are grown, we are so proud. We’ll have to shelter in our place. Though we’d love to have you over, you just can’t come around. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, in the middle of COVID. Our house, isolation isn’t cool. Our house, in the time of quarantine. Our house, this pandemic is so cruel. Our house, in the time of quarantine.
