lyrics
Before the internet lived in my pocket
Before we all had avatars
There was an art to telling the time
we’d devise patterns and we would scheme rhymes
to remind ourselves and guide ourselves through life.
But now the internet took me as a hostage,
I find myself often lost and exhausted.
Jumping through windows can be such a task,
hey, bartender, I’m in search of something better
but I’m quite a big spender, so can I start a new tab?
An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
but I think this opportunity has passed.
I stared at the board and I held all the keys
but it was too hard to leave,
so I just opened a window, I just opened a window,
I just opened a window, I just opened a window.
The world is wide, but I’ve been lured
into a web embedded with wifi.
The world is wide, but I’m concerned
with how I’m led, who I follow, what I like.
The world is wide, but I’ve been spurned,
so it is best to turn away and hide.
And if I find that I need a breath of fresh air
cuz with the click of my finger I can flick through despair…..
well I will just open a window, I will just open a window,
I will just open a window, I will hopefully open a window.

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
