about

An algorithm is as an algorithm does

lyrics

What did we do before the Net?
When Facebook Friends hadn’t liked us yet
Before the fear of missing out
Overcame my natural doubts

I’m going to slip away
Going to slip away
Heading off the grid

And late at night, my guard drops
I’m researching all my former loves
They see the things that no-one should
What I did, and what I could

I’m going to slip away
Going to slip away
Heading off the grid

An algorith is as an algorith does
What started as a game
Manipulates our thoughts

I’m going to slip away
Going to slip away
Heading off the grid

An algorith is as an algorith does
What started out as fun
Is blotting out the sun

If you could see what they see
You’d realise nothing’s free
They hold a power no-one should
You’re not the buyer, you’re the goods

I’m going to slip away
Going to slip away
Heading off the grid

a large chunk of the album resonates with me, love for the hills, mountains, coastline and particularly the north of Britain. Delivered with a wonderful voice and wonderful accompanying music. We found Iona by mistake on a search, so glad we did! scotch_single_malt
