We are entering our 4th week of official shelter-in-place. How are all of y’all holding up? These days, I’m noticing that my emotions come in waves. Some days I’m experiencing my highest highs and feel like I’m thriving. Others days this week, I’m unsure of my feelings. I’m irritable and sad for reasons that I just can’t explain. I know some of you may be feeling the same. One thing that brought me solace was listening to Ben Gibbard’s daily stream every day for an hour. In addition to performing a mix of his songs and covers, he also took this time to express how he was feeling and how shelter-in-place for Seattle was also impacting him.

Ben’s last daily show was last Sunday, but he has agreed to come back weekly on Thursdays at 6PM PT. However, if you can’t wait five more days for his show, here’s a bonus filmed earlier this week. In times like these, I’m finding that more music is bringing me comfort so I hope it will bring the same to you as it does for me.
