From the recording Remixed Emotions
Lyrics
Back in the day all you needed was a tape deck
Underground radio or vinyl to cassette
A track list in four-color ballpoint pen -- we’d make ‘em for each other back then
And everything we didn’t say in the light of day would come through in the songs we’d play
Gooey sweet and dirty grit (Remixed emotions)
Tiny speakers sound like shit (Remixed emotions)
Whisper through a buzz, poetry and fuzz
The story of us in remixed emotions
Along the way you went and cleaned up your act
Traveled light and left some things behind when you packed
Ditched the cover art for mp3s - you were way ahead of me
And everything we didn’t say in the light of day would come through in the songs we’d play
On the stereo (Remixed emotions)
Losing highs and lows (Remixed emotions)
Back to Black and Kind of Blue, one for me and one for you
Gain and loss and remixed emotions
Now and then we like to send each other oldies
You know, the kind we used to reproduce in dolby
Sounds and pictures on a screen - suddenly we’re seventeen
And everything we don’t say in the light of day comes through in the songs we play
Bittersweet with (Remixed emotions)
Our hearts beat with (Remixed emotions)
Some are hopeful, some resigned, some we wish we could rewind
Then and now and remixed emotions
