Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #poprock
The skirmish said “Call me,” and I decided that “DM me” was closer to the point.

Lyrics

I don’t know how we arrived
At this sorry state
There are nights when I fear
It’s already too late
There is only one way to erase
The words we haven’t spoken

DM me an emoji or two
Just enough that I will know that it’s you
And we can start to untangle
All these webs we’ve woven

I know too much about how to speak
With no words at all
I write novels about
What’s on the other side of that wall
None of it is real
Until the door is open

DM me an emoji or two
Just enough that I will know that it’s you
And we can start to untangle
All these webs we’ve woven

Someday we’ll wonder
The spell we were under
Such a long time to wait

I don’t know how we arrived
At this sorry state
There are nights when I fear
It’s already too late
There is only one way to erase
The words we haven’t spoken

DM me an emoji or two
Just enough that I will know that it’s you
And we can start to untangle
All these webs we’ve woven

Yeah, @hmstreetteam , how unfortunate that we as a phone society have come to this--that many times can only find the time to DM. Classic observation you had there, re: this prompt, and saw fit to massage "call" it into "DM" for your write! Cool all around here! Some classic lol lines, too. Emojis--so relatable!

Beautifully melancholic and nostalgic song. Performed with heart and soul. Very special take on the prompt.

Yeah, a DM is probably far more likely these days, especially if it’s just an emoji or two. That could go multiple ways. I’m glad you let the listener decide what those emojis might be.

I LOL when I saw your title. Who calls, anymore? But the emotion is the same. Just an emoji or two - just enough! Great lyrics.

@scruffyblues 2w

This is a great take on the prompt. The guitar riff has a building intensity to it that delivers the lyrics so well.

I find myself thinking a lot about what it means to take back words that haven't spoken and it it puts me an interesting mental space- like the sound of one hand clapping
