JAZZ FLUTE
US chapter two as private island: nothing to do, vinyl jazz flute, candlelit dim dinner: breathe, stick together, slow down, let it go.

Second chapter of US, the unplugged fantasy after QUIET YOUR MIND!!!‘s belief lullaby: ain’t got shit to do, our own private island, me and you. Two matching erasures are the trick of it. No internet (I never heard of it), no politics (I never heard of him). Ignorance as intimacy.
The bridge is the earnest center, breathe in, breathe out, we can make it if we stick together, then the permission to slow it down. Not a travel montage and not the party refusal of AFTER-PARTY, just doing nothing together on purpose.
The song’s named instrument is on the recording: Nicole McCabe on flute. The track actually has the jazz flute it imagines digging out of the crates.
Also on the chapter EP: JAZZ FLUTE (MOAR FLUTE), a flute-forward instrumental of the same song, plus JAZZ FLUTE (Instrumental).
Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton. Flute: Nicole McCabe.
Lyrics
Ain't got shit to do Sleep in every morning Sunbathing in the afternoon Our own private island Me and you Wake up feeling brand new Designer Why don't we just float here for awhile Away from the internet I never heard of it Let it go Ain't got shit to do Let's listen to vinyl Old timey like they used to do Digging through records How bout jazz flute? I'm making a candle lit dinner My cooking looks better when it's dim Don't talk about politics I never heard of him Let it go Breathe in Breathe out No, I don't have a doubt That we can make it If we stick together Holding on through stormy weather Breathe in Breathe out It's okay to slow it down And let it go You can let it go Sometimes
