Plastic Hearts

Fort Frances covers Sufjan Stevens' "Chicago."

Chicago

have you ever heard of america
well i saved a chair for you
take a seat, trace the lines of history
blue collar boots, white collar ties
politicians and picket lines
world wars and peace signs
it’s a timeline with dates and names
moments of pride and moments of shame
now it seems so easy to forget everything

in talk of left and right and win or lose
if you make a promise to me, i will make a promise to you
let’s do our best to try and understand
that every one of us is a part of the promise land

have you ever been to america
it’s somewhere between the air and the
ocean floor miles below your feet
take a look in the mirror
of two hundred and fifty years
don’t let the truth disappear
out in the streets

turn off all the breaking news
you make a promise to me, i will make a promise to you

i’ve been looking for america
i drove coast to coast as i stared at the horizon
while the sun was sinking low
from new york to new orleans
from oregon to aberdeen
the mountains and the valleys and the in betweens
the same song was playing everywhere
at dinner tables in morning prayers
in big cities and in the middle of nowhere

the words were simple, the words were true
just make a promise to me, i will make a promise to you

let’s do our best to try and understand
that all of our tomorrows are right here in our hands
let’s do our best to try and understand
that every one of us is a part of the promise land

Summertime

With clattering piano, Nile Rodgers-esque guitar chunks and a stomping horn section, the new Fort Frances single is a wake-up call for the information age. Atwood Magazine describes the song as "a lyrical journey of endless news cycles and social media feeds; of theoretically 'massive' stories that surrender to the next day’s trend overnight; of a deluge of push notifications, emails and texts."
