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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
