Contact We've been here so long Still I remember The rainy September Contact Two, four, one, ten Two, four, one, ten Am I transmitting Is anyone listening? Contact Two, four, one, ten Two, four, one, ten Am I still willing To foot all this billing? Contact We are green and gray The longness of semper Still I remember Contact Two, four, one, ten Two, four, one, ten Am I transmitting Is anyone listening? Contact Riding on our shiny metal horses Singing a rider's song One of us won't be forgotten The other one's wrong Two, four, one, ten Two, four, one, ten Am I still willing To foot all this billing? Contact When I think of you Your name's in the sky Ninety feet high Contact |
This song is from the album You Were There. This song was used throughout Season 11 of RvB. It was a little scary to write something that would replace Blood Gulch Blues as an intro, but it was time to move on. Having whistling was Matt's idea, and worked out well. The B section of the song is a bit of an homage to Leah and Dave, whose band Cherry 2000 was a fundamental influence to Nico and ultimately to Trocadero. (If you've ever wondered what Vale Deah was about, well there you go.) It features guest vocalist Hannah Mickunas, and the tasteful, as always, drumming of Steve Scully. Credits:
