about

Written in the summer of the 2020 lockdown, Planes reflects on the changes during that bizarre period. Time stood still, the city noise replaced by bird song; a calm in the chaos that enabled us to reflect on life as we knew it and life as we might want it on the other side. The song captures this juxtaposition with soaring melodies cutting through raw percussion and throbbing synths.

lyrics

PLANES

I can't stand the planes
Flying over head
And now they've gone away
I'm spending lazy Sunday mornings
Just lying in my bed

With the birds
Singing louder
Now the birds
They sing much clearer now
They wake me up when the dawn is calling
I don't sleep no more
I don't wanna go back

I can't stand the news
It's creeping on my screen
And it's giving me the blues
But it all means nothing

Now the birds
They sing louder
Now the birds
They sing much clearer now

They wake me up when the dawn is calling
Waking me up at four in the morning
Time means nothing no more
They wake me up when the dawn is calling
Waking me up at four in the morning
Time means nothing no more

Now the birds
Sing louder
Now the birds
Sing much clearer now
Now the birds
Sing louder
Now the birds
They sing much clearer now

They wake me up when the dawn is calling
I don't sleep no more
I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna go back
I just wanna go home.
