V1
Another satellite goes racing in and out between the stars
It’s connecting all the dot between the people near and far
A million languages and oceans we transverse, so we can so more closely now
My computer answering questions, anything I’d like to know
God forbid I miss a moment, miss a memory, miss a show
So connected that I’ve never felt so bad at being alone.

Ch
Is this what we aimed for
Where time is only money
Well you laugh because it’s funny, but it’s true
With all that we came for
Somehow we are more alone, just profiles in the mobile phone review
And who knows how much more
How long will our paths diverge
His and mine and theirs and hers for sure
Cause I need to gain more
To know the truth that sets you free

V2
Another headline, ‘nother problem, ‘nother chance to hear a voice
Another try at transformation
Another person with another set of problems
How can I ignore

Ch
Is this what we aimed for
Where time is only money
Well you laugh because it’s funny, but it’s true
With all that we came for
Somehow we are more alone, just profiles in the mobile phone review
And who knows how much more
How long will our paths diverge
His and mine and theirs and hers for sure
Cause I need to gain more
To know the truth that sets you free

Bridge
With the flip of a switch
We could change it all
The walls would fall on down
It only costs a crown
We’d smile for what we found

V3
Another satellite goes racing in and out between the stars
It’s connecting all the needs of all the people where they are
And there’s an information highway that we used to change it all
It was invented long ago, by the ones who heard the call
And we record their names, and toast their fame as grateful as can be
Remembering how they recognized the truth that set us free.
The truth that set us free

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
