Deep Cuts

Deep Cuts

 

waiting for the chaos to calm down

digital onslaught derails aging analogue

lackluster soundtrack plays softly

right pace with the wrong timing

 

digital onslaught derails aging analogue

life’s music crackles through studio monitors

right pace with the wrong timing

new ballads a rarity to open ears

 

life’s music crackles through studio monitors

too many memories in chords of C G and E

new ballads a rarity to open ears

podcasts endless talk silences the radio dial

 

too many memories in chords of C G and E

time when everyone knew how to play Gloria

podcasts endless talk silences the radio dial

long for the poets with the Mercy beat

 

time when everyone knew how to sing Gloria

stone soul righteous light my fire

long for the poets with the Mercy beat

when the chaos would never calm down
