Recorded in 2017 at a tiny café where I used to work.

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.
