about

The first song I released from this batch of solo material. It feels quite distant already. Affection details the slow disintegration of a long distance relationship. The sense of romance leaking out of an unsustainable situation. Acknowledging the end is nigh based on the tone of emails. Suddenly all you’re left with is a few postcards and obscured memories.

lyrics

Affection’s so obscured by distance
At this stage it’s an abstract concept
Hidden in a string of emails
Signing off with less commitment

I’d lie to you if it made a difference
Mostly subjects/creatures of convenience
We’re mostly products of our context
Alcohol and loose agreements

So we don’t say that little phrase anymore
And can’t rely on that cliché like before
Two months apart and two to go (until your home)
Too far removed these days to know...

I do my best not to blame you
Or second guess attempts to talk through
The guilt abroad and false temptation
Things we lose to new locations

It’s been a while since someone mattered
Nice to notice when I’m shattered
A crooked kind of consolation
Still singing despite relegation

So we don’t say that little phrase anymore
And can’t rely on that cliché like before
Two months apart and two to go (until your home)
Too far removed these days to know...

Affection’s so obscured by distance
Emotions missed in picture postcards
Clutter we can call mementos
Or the paper trail for how we let go
