about
This is a song about living in New York City and seeing the same people on the street every day, but you don't say hi to them, and they don't say hi to you. Who ignored who first? It is like the story of the chicken and the egg.
-Joanna Sternberg 2016
lyrics
(Humming)
You don't say hi to me so I don't say hi to you
You won't smile at me so I won't smile at you
So, so what's next?
So, so what's next?
I see you standing there, you see me standing here.
Thoughts of approaching you are filling me with fear.
So, so what's next?
So, so what's next?
So, so what's next?
In the scheme of things I will never
though my heart it stings
and my paranoia's chasing me
Although we both must know
That we are far too stubborn to ever let our feelings show.
Sometimes I find that I'm talking to myself.
If I said something wrong so much for mental health.
Why'd I say that?
Why'd I say that?
I look over at you seeming so calm and cool
If I go talk to you, I'll look like such a fool.
So I won't go
So I won't go
So I won't go
I will let you be
We may never Get the chance to see
If a conversation builds to shatter
All we thought we knew.
If you do not say hi to me, then I will not say hi to you
and I will not say hi to you and I will not say hi to you.
(humming)

This is another way to get my Dead Can Dance fix. Should I even say that? I picked up a few pennies today. I wore shoes. "I sentenced Death to a thousand years in jail so you'd be free to spend time with me." That sounds like something God would say. That's less time than Death deserves. Michael
Polish pianist plays a "silent song of hope" to benefit the people of Ukraine, simultaneously intense, cathartic, and soothing. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2022
