about

Originally from "Look For The Cracks" (2010)
Re-recorded for "Adaptations to a Modern Age" (2013)

lyrics

Call me old-fashioned, but I miss the days of folks on their front porches
Who'd enjoy each others' company, to the neighbors open wide
Before everyone retreated to private decks in their backyards
That is, on those rare occasions when they'd actually go outside

Call me old-fashioned, but I miss the days of lovingly-cooked dinners
When community was shared around the enjoyment of good food
Before instant meals in microwaves wolfed down in front of TVs
Food bereft of nutrients, sense of community subdued

Chorus:
Tell me what is happening to communication?
What is happening to community?
What is happening to community?

Call me old-fashioned, but I miss the days of human interaction
And by human interaction, I mean good ol' face-to-face
Before conversations transformed into acronyms on screens
With people separated in both emotions and cyberspace

Chorus

Well I guess I am old-fashioned because I like corporeal people
I prefer them to these abstract avatars on screens
But I guess, in that regard, I'm of a shrinking minority
