Newspaper Spoons

about this song

Death, violence, and terror are horrifying, when experienced up close and personal, or “without distortion”. This apt reaction is turned into boredom when it is given to us as cold facts, statistics, or in a newspaper. We are wired silent by our complacency. In “March of Progress”, Matt Flegel sings about how buildings are build to break. Here, he says the same thing about humanity. We’re not meant to live forever. We inevitably die of old age so that future generations can take our place.
