Name: Flightmode
Duration: P00H04M09S
Description: I had programmed a drumtrack based on Can’s Vitamin C at the end of january in preparation for RPM. Last week I read that the drummer Jaki Liebzeit died the 22th of january. The other idea was to stay on one chord for a long time and use reverb to create space like in Cocteau Twins’ Pandora. The lyrics is just some minimal lines around the different meanings of the word Flightmode.

lyrics

Tucked inside
a metal shell
earplugs in
the noise drowned out
a coward, I know
don't want to fight
on the run
not online
levitate
neither here nor there
in time and space
suspended in mid air
