about

Livedo Reticularis is a skin condition that some people get post Covid. I have it and wrote a song about whether my wife would still find me attractive with this blemish (luckily she does!).

lyrics

If you prefer aesthetics to substance, then look away, look away
I look like I’m rotting from the outside these days, these days
They say that beauty is only skin deep
So I’m heading for the place where they dip the sheep oh Livedo

I’m daily checking my symptoms, awaiting the cure, the cure
But though I may not be at my best, my thoughts are still impure, oh so impure
So if you feel like love in the time of Covid, let’s go to you room and get naked, oh Livedo
(it hasn’t affected my libido)

Don’t send our love into remission, please overlook my skin condition oh Livedo

I understand if you want to wear gloves when we touch, we touch
And as long as they’re at least elbow length I won’t mind that much, not much
I get so excited when we make out, it causes my skin to have breakout, oh Livedo

Don’t send our love into remission, please overlook my skin condition oh Livedo
I know I’m not at my most appetising, but I’ll isurely mprove with some moisturising Oh Livedo (x4)
