This song began its life wearing clothes that could be a Jack White B-Side, but has slowly morphed through different iterations of the band and numerous re-writes. Now, featuring smooth basslines by @caleb.reno.bass and driving drums and haunting harmonies by @baileydrummer, "Distant" finds its stride as a locomotive of a break-up bop. This song kicks off the record with energy and a melancholy that will leave the listener on the edge of their seat.

Lyrics

Oh sweet lord
I can’t be seen like this
Oh sweet jesus
In my nakedness
Oh good gracious
I’ve been keeping this in the closet
Oh my lanta
It’s a heavy, heavy lift

To be so in love and
So distant
To be so in love and
So indifferent
To be so in love and
So distant

I been waiting
For a moment just to say this
You weren’t picking up
When I was hanging by a thread
Something’s missing
You said maybe we could fix it
Then you cheated
I think it’s time to call it quits

To be so in love and
So distant
To be so in love and
So indifferent
To be so in love and
So distant

To be so in love and so
Disaffected
To be so in love and
So disinterested
To be so in love and so
Sacrilegious
To be so in love and
So distant
