Lyrics

Bury it in the cloud where I can find it
Whenever I like
When you're dust in the ground then I'll go find it
Whenever I like

Images forever ever
You and me together gether
Digital means never ever
I'll
never have to let you go

All things go but the words
we wrote on our walls
I'll read them at night
Keep you close as the earth grows over our love
I'll send you goodnight

Images forever ever
You and me together gether
Digital m
eans never ever
I'll never
I'll never
I'll never have to let you go

Content

Caden Jester feat. FEiN: a Walton/Woodward topline on Caden Jester's Let You Go (indie dance; unreleased). FEiN featured vocal, a DJ topline slot alongside Remember Us (Embody / Armada).

Grief outsourced to the cloud. The opening defers death by storage (bury it in the cloud where I can find it / whenever I like), and the hook makes the bargain explicit: digital means never ever / I'll never have to let you go. Permanence as a feature spec, mourning solved by backup.

The second verse pairs the physical with the buried, words on walls read at night, a goodnight sent to someone the earth has grown over. It's the inverse of Remember Us (no one will remember us): here the format promises to keep everything. Pairs with Roadtrip (prove that we were ever here) and All Her Books (lovely sentences are all that's left) as FEiN memory-technology songs.
