The idea of this song came after attending a pal's birthday party over video chat, and finding myself laughing alone, with others.

lyrics

Logging on to the party
Everyone is there
It's so good to see your face
Wish we could share the same air

We used to have fun, we used to have fun
But something's changed
We used to have fun, we used to have fun
Things don't feel the same

Spill a drink and soak it up
But our jokes stay dry
Punchlines linger in the room
Can't seem to land them this time

Are we getting older?
Or did the whole world age?
Are we getting colder
Living in this cage?

We used to have fun

We used to have fun, we used to have fun
But something's changed
We used to have fun, we used to have fun
Things don't feel the same

Logging off of the party
No one else is near
It was good to see your face
My god, what a year

Doug Hoyer / SOCAN

Isometry

Do you like GUITAR!?! If so, you will probably dig this great record. 1/3 abstract patchwork, 1/3 solid songwriting, 1/3 a sick band doing what they do Doug Hoyer
