Interesting commentary on historical 21st century meaning

Wow. Captivating cut Gina.  You're really creating some nice abstract feels of the times.  Very awesome!

Wonderful ambient piece, love the vocals and the well set guitar chops …

I started to listen here then noticed the video link so went for that as suggested. Ended up listening/watching each one. The video is really cool. Split screen slightly off sync, nice touch. To me, has a flash back vibe going on. The guitar tone is fantastic. Lovely spoken words and the singing part of the vocal has a real haunting folk feel. Love the emotion coming from your voice on "Could not receive it".

That's a really great music / lyrics / video composition... In these times we need more such moments of inner reflection, I think ..

Firstly I have to point you guys to the video because this is at least 50% visual experience. It is here:

I want to also explain about this song and us as artists. We have already made, and will continue to make songs in our genre of catchy pop, earthy folk and ethereal mystique. We are comfortable there, but we thought we would try something a little different, a little left field. This is arty and abstract, just for fun... but it was also kind of serious, inspired after having just finished reading Angela's Ashes.

LYRICS
It's a 21st Century malady
There's nothing really wanting at all
Hm
Let's try not to fall
Maybe we're poised for lift off
Maybe we should find the escapr route
Or a launch pad
There's nothing wanting at all
Agony of nothing wanting
Breeding malcontent
Breeding the wildest problems
No one in their wildest dreams
Could have imagined they'd have to solve
In the 1940s

Just last night
I was waiting for a thread
I had nothing wanting at all
Hungering after
The mere-est thread

Where are you?
Where are you?
You could not receive it
Could not receive it
Where are you now my love

I made a gift of a vow
Given freely as any vow should
But you could not receive it
You could not receive it
Where are you?
Just over the hill
In this 21st century

21st Century Melody

Watchglass are a duo. We like exploring 
musical directions and having fun making songs and albums. We have been working as a partnership since 2017, or most of the time since then. Gina is the singer and lyricist. Mark is the guitarist and everything else and makes the songs and is the one who Gina will forever hold responsible for showing her she could not only sing well enough to front a band but also write passable, and sometimes even excellent songs.... Happily we found each other again after a longish split. 

Our 3 albums since reuniting in June 2022 are:

Every Conversation in June - ( featured in Bandcamp’s Best albums of Spring)

Only Watching Clouds. 

Beautiful Dust (also featured in Bandcamp Daily)

￼ Both available on Bandcamp.
