    I’m making plans for the day all of this is through
    Seeing my path there
    Hearing the song I’ll sing and food that I’ll taste and all the drinks that I’ll consume
    Return the smile of an unmasked friend
    As we take streets I don’t walk down cause I want to avoid
    Fighting temptation
    Walk at a downtown pace and treasure the crowds that once made me act so annoyed
    Sometimes I wonder how long ’till I’m a face in one?
    What an iconic message for the era.

    *LYRICS [pulled from our good friend Genius]*
    I’m making plans for the day all of this is through
    Seeing my path and hearing the song I’ll sing
    And food that I’ll taste and all the drinks that I’ll consume
    Return the smile on an unmasked friend
    As we take streets I don’t walk down ‘cause I want to avoid
    Fighting temptation, walk at a downtown pace
    And treasure the crowds that once made me act so annoyed
    Sometimes I wonder, how long ‘til I’m a face in one?
    You’d be surprised to learn what you could bear to lose
    Wanting and needing, not getting either one
    And planning the future as if time is yours to choose
    Pick out a movie, a sandwich from a screen
    Yeah, how many days in life will I spend underground?
    Hours in total, as many as it takes
    And how many ways of feeling lousy have I found?
    Lately uncounted
    I’ve found a reason to exist
    Written on the tile
    Of the platform wall
    Begging not to go extinct
    To all those who saw
    How many times now have I walked into that room
    With the day shining through purple film?
    Combining sound from the corners that you use yourself to tune
    Like a piano, well-tuned and walking slowly
    Socks on the carpet while some kid watches my shoes
    Feeling the sine like a bolt of lightning
    House of dreams, you were once my cure for New York City blues
    Is this goodbye then?
    Will you be on the other side?
    Waiting there for me?
    Nothing left to want
    Cashing in my claim to a
    Life lived mostly free
    [Guitar Solo]
    Will you be on the other side
    Waiting there for me
    Nothing left to want
    Cashing in my claim to a
    Life lived mostly free

    Straight into my Parquet Courts Top Ten. Getting a bit of a Free Range (The Fall) vibe from the bassline.

    • @InfotainmentScan
      @InfotainmentScan 3 роки тому

      God knows I love "Free Range" and was eager to credit it for inspiration, but I have to admit to not really hear a very close resemblance... but I do hear a broader Fall vibe especially in the chorus (and especially in its bassline).

    You guys have been making music for a long time now, but I only recently discovered the band. It's been a heavy rotation since, and it's definitely one of my all-time favorites. Wide Awake & Sympathy For Life have become the soundtrack of my waking hours, and I've been doing a deep dive into all your other offerings of the last dozen years. I hope to someday soon be a smiling unmasked face in the crowd dancing to your tunes. Thanks for all the joy you've brought me in these trying times.

    Really great video!! I feel that it really captures that feeling of a summer's night in NYC...how you never know what you might see or encounter... I liked paying attention to Every Single Clip in the video...the speed of it...the tiny bursts or clips...that's what it's actually like walking the streets...it's visual and aural overload...you often only get these milliseconds of experiences, and then there's something else to attract your eyes or ears.
    I also loved the witty way of obscuring people's faces with the black squiggle. ;-)
