<blockquote>Regarding the track w Antonio, we made friends at some film awards events we were both at years ago. I let him know his score for Birdman was undoubtably the year’s best and we stayed in touch. Over lockdown he reached out about a collaboration where I send him a single element that he builds a song around. I wrote some lyrics, Att and I had a synth arpeggio I used as an anchor and I sang whatever felt right against that static synth line, using some of the lyrics written. One take, purely instinctual.<br><br>
We sent the vocal and the synth line off to Antonio and I think I suggested not to “fix” anything - keep it pure. Several months later he sent back what you hear now. We had no idea what to expect or what direction he’d take things and it was cool to hear where he went with it - inserting chord changes, etc. Plus, I’d forgotten what I did so it was a fun listen for us. [[Alan Moulder]] got involved with the mix.</blockquote>

I’m not really interested in your point of view
I can hear
Their bullets fly through me
But I think i’ve decided
They don’t work on me<br>
And I guess I
should thank you
and letting all that out
For showing me the way
To be free<br>
Sweeping broad strokes
With my lathe of heaven
every last trace
this is a new place
for just me and you<br>
I’m tired
aren’t you?
it plays when i’m sleeping
(Which I think is all the time now)
but i hear it all<br>
you know i don’t really
not anymore
if that’s the way it is now
i will adapt
i have mutated<br>
listening is overrated
and unnecessary<br> But I think we’re past that now<br>
We have all the time in the world
Waiting for something to happen
Waiting<br>
Just you and me
And nothing else matters
Because ive decided
There is nothing else but
You and me<br>
We have all the time in the world
We have all the time in our world<br>
Time keeps on slippin'
Into the future
