about

When I was sixteen, I used to think about 2020, saying to myself that I would be sixty then and that’d be strange, but it turned out way weirder than I could have imagined.

“Deadlight” launches the 16/61 Project, turning a teenage eye toward my life today.

Lyrics:

When did you get so strange
Never thought you'd be here this long

When did it get so strange
Never thought I'd see a year like that

2020 was always a sort of talisman to me
It turned out way weirder than I could dream.

But its good
That I showed you how to play
Cuz you'd be dull as deadlight
Any other way

Whendid you get so ... strange
Never thought that I'd see you here

At least you're not in marketing (interlude)

I never thought that you would be there
when I looked
when I looked
when I looked
when I looked

when did you learn how to navigate
all the trouble of this world

(break)
(Whoosh)
When did you learn to navigate
All the trouble of this world

They always gave such bad advice
They try to diagnose you still
Like that fool who said

It looks like
You present well

And it looks like
You present well

It's better to look good than to feel good
They say •
It's even better to leave them all behind
Anyway
Anyway
