    In the early day of the pandemic, Steve Wynn did a series of at-home shows (later accompanied by his wife, Linda Pitmon).  IN one of the first on-line performances, Steve introduced this song title as one that represented how so many of us were feeling at the time, "Tell Me When It's Over".  I don't have a link to that version, but this one is good!
