about

Description:

It’s one of the most relatable experiences in the human condition. Nobody likes it when they’re trying to get something across and the other party can’t seem to receive it as it was meant to be received. Communication isn’t easy, but neither is jazz. Care to combine them?

lyrics

Lyrics:

Outgoing transmission

Send my call out to the stars
I’m phoning Mars from my basement as I
Wonder how you got out so far
I am calling
Sing, but no one’s listening
My voice it gleams from a landscape where I
Write from my desk under the sea
Making waves

But the story is smeared
Beating on the drums of your ears
It’s right there, but you’ll never hear
At least I can say I’m always near
Even though you’re losing the message

Writing out a telegram
A letter banned from the open door
Jumbled words I put in this jam
All tuned out
Try to write you in a song
You sing along but avoid the frequency
I tried just to reach you on
Weaving words

But the story is smeared
Beating on the drums of your ears
It’s right there, but you’ll never hear
At least I can say I’m always near
Even though you’ve lost the message

End of transmission
