(March 26, 2060) You sit in a dark empty basement in the middle of a futurama looking city in a rainy night. your house being the only thing left still standing since 1992. You sit in your basement and you then look outside you basement window and you see flying cars flying left and right around your house, even the kids throwing tomatoes at your basement windows. You have no money and you go to your living room and watch TV and go grocery shopping but your car which is from the 70s didn’t work today so you had to walk to the grocery store. You had no money so you give up and return to your dark, gloomy basement. You miss the old days back in 2020 or 2016 when you had hung out with friends. You sit in the basement
I rinsed this track out while I lived in NYC for a few months with my grandmother while she was in hospice. I was born a 90’s baby in Brooklyn and my family left the city after 9/11. This song brings me back to the feeling I had as a little kid in Manhattan... Riding the train or walking the streets as an adult, while listening to this, gave me a ton of comfort in a sad and lonely time for me… and some perspective as to how short and precious life is. RIP Gram. Love you. I’m sorry I didn’t visit you more often.
Even though this is only the sticker on a bottle, I can imagine myself in a giant blue room, slowly approaching this dancing bear. It’s kind of a haunting image, to be honest
