Equinox Avenue - Distant Pulse Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old recordings crackling through my headphones late at night
Your golden tone still hits me just right
Remember when you taught me how to swing and how to groove
Now I'm watching pixels move, trying to feel you through the screen
Daddy, where'd your rhythm go? Your hands ain't steady anymore
But in my mind, you're still leading the band next door

[Chorus]
Digital love ain't enough (ain't enough)
Can't feel your soul through the buffer (through the buffer)
These weekly calls just ain't cutting it
Your face freezes while my heart's suffering
Wish I could reach through this screen
Touch the man who taught me to dream

[Verse 2]
Every Thursday evening, seven on the dot
Watching you forget the melodies you once had locked
Your fingers used to dance across that saxophone
Now they're trembling, as we both sit here alone
The wifi cuts out, and man, I almost lose my mind
'Cause every glitch feels like memories left behind

[Bridge]
Remember those Sunday afternoons?
Jazz flowing through the living room
You'd say "Son, feel that pocket, stay in that groove"
Now technology's all we got left to prove
That love still flows between me and you
Even when the connection breaks through

[Chorus]
Digital love ain't enough (ain't enough)
Can't feel your soul through the buffer (through the buffer)
These weekly calls just ain't cutting it
Your face freezes while my heart's suffering
Wish I could reach through this screen
Touch the man who taught me to dream

[Outro]
Your music lives in my blood, old man
Even when the signal's weak, I still understand
The notes you played, the love you gave
Will echo longer than any digital wave
So I'll keep calling, keep trying to connect
'Cause even pixelated love deserves respect
