Amidst continuing quarantine we remotely recorded a song that laments our fading art of conversation.
This first crEEps & friends collaboration features Madeline Smith (Pure Intruders, Our Fathers) on vocals.
lyrics
i saw the light of a thousand screens
i saw us closing our minds
i saw a thousand empty seats
i saw us falling behind
we have all gone blind we have all gone blind
close your eyes
come on come on remember
long lost friends (now)
i miss the conversation
close your eyes
come on come on remember
long lost friends
i miss the conversation
saw some kids without enough to eat
their parents standing in line
selling screens cheaper than cheap
the doors open at nine
there’s a shadow of a stretching hand
reaching into your heads
you weren’t paying attention man
you were laughing all by yourself
we have all gone blind we have all gone blind
