about

Zoetrope was named for the revolving motion of its verse, which in its original full band version has a curious, glitch-and-restart feel. We wrote this simpler acoustic arrangement in a few home jam sessions, and the song unfolded quite naturally - bare, rather melancholy at first, growing to a rush of feeling at the end.

lyrics

Night lights go by
Train windows like video frames
For a strange moment
Life flickers through screens
Feels like we are all
In a video game

Comfort
Of a day's close
Rows of people
In their own worlds

Oh, comfort
Of a day's close
Rows of people
In their own worlds
Passing by

Drifting
Lost in the sea
Million-image-memory

Every person here
Moving somewhere
Into the future

Oh, comfort
Of a day's close
Rows of people
In their own worlds

One good thought she thinks alone
One good friend on the phone
One good song that walks her home
One good song that walks her home
