lyrics

I'm standing on the corner
I see you at the bus stop
You are playing some kind of game
Staring intently down at your mobile phone
Next to someone who’s doing exactly the same

The two of you stand
At kissing distance from each other
But neither one of you knows that the other exists
And the forehead  of the old woman
Stood next to you both betrays her concern

The old woman sees me I smile and walk over
We talk and she makes me laugh
She's so funny and has a lot to say.
She's nostalgic
She believes that somehow we've all lost our way

The sounds of silence were never louder
Cocooned like islands in parallel universes
Our days spent like blind alien butterflies
An unseen button is pressed
And our old friends are fading away

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
