about

(Wilder, 1950)
What am I planning to do about it?

It seemed fitting to start an album about films with a song about a film about films… I took some inspiration with the comparison between when the film industry moved into the sound era and left the old order behind, and when the music industry moved into the internet age and suddenly nostalgia acts seemed to be earning more than ever.

lyrics

You and her, you and her
Til I met you and her, you and her

I was living car by car, drinking when I could with the hacks in Schwab’s drugstore
I had made it just so far, washing up and going dry, it wasn’t coming anymore
Then you and her come along
Good luck and so long

Norma Desmond on a nostalgia trip
But it turns out that it’s us that got small
And what am I planning to do about it?
I bet you do nothing at all

G n’ R, G n’ R, someone thaw out G n’ R, G n’ R
G n’ R, G n’ R, someone thaw out G n’ R, G n’ R

From a cannon, helmet on, see no time has passed, crushed bulbs on the tiled floor
Jon Bon Jovi, Elton John, since the lady’s payin’ serve me up a vintage whore
Digital radio
Set our tastes, we’d never know

Norma Desmond on a nostalgia trip
But it turns out that it’s us that got small
And what am I planning to do about it?
I bet you do nothing at all

Your sweet water-lily
Ever after happily
Floating in our Sunset Boulevard, Boulevard
And what am I planning to do about it?
I bet you do nothing at all
