lyrics: |
  Ain't got shit to do
  Sleep in every morning
  Sunbathing in the afternoon
  Our own private island
  Me and you

  Wake up feeling brand new
  Designer
  Why don't we just float here for awhile
  Away from the internet
  I never heard of it
  Let it go

  Ain't got shit to do
  Let's listen to vinyl
  Old timey like they used to do
  Digging through records
  How bout jazz flute?

  I'm making a candle lit dinner
  My cooking looks better when it's dim
  Don't talk about politics
  I never heard of him
  Let it go

  Breathe in
  Breathe out
  No, I don't have a doubt
  That we can make it
  If we stick together
  Holding on through stormy weather

  Breathe in
  Breathe out
  It's okay to slow it down
  And let it go
  You can let it go
  Sometimes

Second chapter of [*US*](/albums/us/), the unplugged fantasy after [*QUIET YOUR MIND!!!*](/songs/quiet-your-mind/)'s belief lullaby: *ain't got shit to do*, our own private island, me and you. Two matching erasures are the trick of it. No internet (*I never heard of it*), no politics (*I never heard of him*). Ignorance as intimacy.

The bridge is the earnest center, breathe in, breathe out, *we can make it if we stick together*, then the permission to slow it down. Not a travel montage and not the party refusal of [*AFTER-PARTY*](/songs/after-party/), just doing nothing together on purpose.

The song's named instrument is on the recording: **Nicole McCabe** on flute. The track actually has the jazz flute it imagines digging out of the crates.

Also on the chapter EP: [*JAZZ FLUTE (MOAR FLUTE)*](/songs/jazz-flute-moar-flute/), a flute-forward instrumental of the same song, plus *JAZZ FLUTE (Instrumental)*.
