The famous music duo, Twenty One Pilots, have just released their newest song, "Level of Concern" during the midst of quarantine and a pandemic -- just when we needed it the most.

Lead singer Tyler Joseph hinted the release to fans on Sunday, tweeting "Always writing, but this one feels like it should just come out now," later adding, "I think it's simple but hopeful."

The song was released Thursday morning, along with a music video directed by Reel Bear Media, which shows Tyler Joseph and music partner Joshua Dun completing the song through a USB drive in their respective homes, in accordance with social distancing.

The song is one of honesty but one of hope. In their familiar alternative pop sound, it details the mindset of Joseph in the COVID-19 crisis, with lyrics such as, "Panic on the brain, world has gone insane / Things are starting to get heavy." It then transitions into Joseph asking someone (presumably his wife) to bring down his 'level of concern,' singing, "Just need you to tell me we're alright / Tell me we're okay." Later in the song, the background vocals say, over the beat, "We're gonna be okay. We'll be okay." It is one of reassurance, rooted in a very human hope for better days.

"Level of Concern" was also written to help the charity Crew Nation, which helps those in the live performance industry who lost their jobs because of the coronavirus pandemic. According to Tyler Joseph via social media, a portion of the single's proceeds will be donated to the organization.

"No one knows when live music will get back on its feet," Joseph wrote. "I've met so many amazing people working venues and touring with bands. Hopefully we can do something to help some through this song."

The song artwork is also a nod to the past era of their successful album, Trench, in which the color yellow was relevant. The USB drive is seen with yellow tape wrapped around the top.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
