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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
