Here's another, "The Day the Earth Stood Still," by Willie Nile. The song draws its inspiration from the 1951 classic science fiction movie of the same name. Nile laments the empty streets, which reminds him of the stopping of electricity and more for an hour by Klaatu, the benevolent alien.
Nile even works the foreboding phrase, ""Klaatu barada nikto," from the movie into this song.
It's a great work, although it's a bit too sympathetic to the lockdown insanity of 2020 for my taste.
