Liner Notes

#postrock #pop #melancholy

This was gonna be smooth spacey funk, but once the lyrics started coming, I realized it was much more of a belted Katy Perry-style pop song. Maybe the funky bass line will eventually make an appearance elsewhere.

Lyrics

You set your course towards a star
You picked out of the sky
and set your ship on autopilot
and I shot into the unknown
left a dying earth below
I was glad to find someone close by

Now I
want to say goodbye
let’s give this one more try
before I cross the redshift horizon

For a while it looked like the same heading
Parallel we could almost start forgetting
we set off separately, we wanted it desperately
We shared a look back at the setting sun
countless messages sent for everything
the latency increased with every single ping
Until we were trading letters
like explorers like stranded settlers
a whole world away
with nothing more to say

Now I
want to say goodbye
just this one more time
before I cross the redshift horizon
Don’t reply
it’s already too late
the chasm grows too great
for light to reach across the redshift horizon

The mile marker where we split
is hardly a speck in the rear view mirror
in this heat shimmer of a late stage universe
Our roads diverged with no U-turns
our days together are faded memories now
I just remember remembering as I jettison everything else

Now I
want to say goodbye
one final time
before I cross the redshift horizon
Don’t reply
it’s already too late
the chasm grows too wide
for light to reach across the redshift horizon
