Nebel lang- LOOKDOWN

we the people
used to meet in bars we met in shops
we met in cafes we met on the dot
we met at half past we met in the square
remember the people you used to meet there
we were the people
the people were we
we were the people we used to be
a quiet murmur
a clink of a cup
the clash of a plate that had almost been dropped
a hubbub of voices
sometimes a lull
the language we spoke as the light grew dull
we the people
never knew we were never knew we wouldn’t
be ‘we’ no more
i meet you now and i keep my distance
as i absently hug the air
i the people
i once was people
the people i used to be
and i grow sparser
as the nights grow colder
i the people
i used to be people
the people used to be me

PadraigC The longing for contact...during the last year...memories of cafes and coffee dates...meeting friends.
This release made me miss these whilst looking forward to the easing of covid restrictions. More importantly it reminded me of the importance of social contact and close friendships, especially during the lockdown times. A really lovely album.
Pieter Bos art that was made in another time for this time. a view in the rearviewmirror about the loss we are all experiencing now.
