Name: Millennial Morse Code
Duration: P00H02M24S
Description: Millennial Morse Code is a song that bemoans a mostly unrequited teenage love through the virus of social media. Do we all have photographic memories in 2018? Or have our actual memories just been obscured by digital snapshots? Can a love that was started on AOL instant messenger ever really fade into the ether? Or will the whirring servers keep whispering a time-traveling game of telephone?

Millennial Morse Code is a song that bemoans a mostly unrequited teenage love through the virus of social media. Do we all have photographic memories in 2018? Or have our actual memories just been obscured by digital snapshots? Can a love that was started on AOL instant messenger ever really fade into the ether?

lyrics

Like it, like it, don't like it
What are you trying to say?
I'm clueless in millennial morse code
Can you translate?
A buddhist in a Catholic suit on senior homecoming
She asked you, the pretty girl I knew
And I took your best friend

Do you remember that?
Cuz I remember that

Eighteen, a blue and white tram ride
In Amsterdam
Distracted, alighted a stop late on Middenlaan
The permutation says the probability is weak
Tourists who discovered each other
In a hostel bed

Do you remember that?
Cuz I remember that

It's been ten years
It's been ten years
Why do I still see you?
I see a digital you

Do you remember that?
Cuz I remember that
Do you remember that?
Do you remember?
