I See the Moment
Big Hug post-pandemic vertigo: white lies and the popular feed, COVID breaking the spell: I see the moment coming down, people crying till they find the way home, wondering how much clout it'll take to get things started.

Track thirteen on Big Hug, co-written and performed with J MESA (Taylor James / Babidi on earlier Scoobert records like Masks and Monsters and Dragon Ball $d; later Prisoner, 2024). Title split: Bandcamp lists I See the Monument; DistroKid and Apple Music list I See the Moment. Same song; this page uses the distributor title.
On a re-entry record turning toward strangers, this is the political-media hangover track. Belief keeps slipping out of reach: the book isn’t clean, smeared in ink, meaning as a puzzle you can’t read straight. The chorus puts the doubt next to its mirror image, people crying till they find the best way to our home against the cynical how much clout I’ll need to get things started, belief versus the influence economy. Verse two names the source, white lies taking over the scene… beyond the popular feed, and ties it to breaking the spell sung by COVID disease. The bridge finally slows hope down and reaches recovery language, let’s go home to a place that we know where all the good things go.
Heavier than Heffalumps and Woozles on the same LP, and the same Big Hug question as A Good Life on MMM: how to believe again after collapse. It leads toward KŌAN’s disinformation thread (Miss Disinformation, to everyone who had a good pandemic).
Written by Luke Francis Walton and J MESA (Taylor James / Babidi). Performed by Scoobert Doobert with J MESA. Mixed by Luke Francis Walton. Mastered by Riley Knapp.
Lyrics
Many times feeling used to deceit Pretty simple to the body When it's falling to heat But not the kind I seem to find just tryna believe Obscene It's like I'm living a dream How serene Still I mean It's like I'm trying But the book isn't clean Smeared in ink I'm tryna find and it goes in between To help me piece the puzzle In a way that is peace Cuz I hope with the laugh Ha ha ha That we find We believe Closer Into a miracle Like a rocket who's winning America But I know Each body has go to and try to release Take a moment But the anger's bound to finally decrease See what I mean? I see the moment coming down I don't know what to believe now Cuz I see the people Crying till they Find the best way To our home I see the moment going down Don't know what's left to figure out Cause I'm here just wondering How much clout I'll need to get things started White lies Taking over the scene Wondering who to believe Beyond the popular feed Is it something we see Or is it something we read Cause I'm getting pretty tired of Wishing this was a dream Still I'm getting pretty tired Cause I'm tryna police myself My health Into invisible means Breaking the spell Sung by COVID disease I'm determined till the whole world believe In something Closer Into a miracle Like a rocket who's winning America But I know Each body has go to and try to release Take a moment But the anger's bound to finally decrease See what I mean? I see the moment coming down I don't know what to believe now Cuz I see the people Crying till they Find the best way To our home I see the moment going down Don't know what's left to figure out Cause I'm here just wondering How much clout I'll need to get things started I see it running from me My hope and how the way I believe It won't wait up Slow Down So I can get up It takes time to find what you need But I know we can conquer defeat So let's go home To a place that we know Where all the good things go I see the moment coming down I don't know what to believe now Cuz I see the people Crying till they Find the best way To our home I see the moment going down Don't know what's left to figure out Cause I'm here just wondering How much clout I'll need to get things started
