Unresolved

from Un by Painter Fingers

/

about

"Unresolved" is a song about trying to stay positive during hard times, even when there seems to be trouble lurking around every turn, and remembering that as isolated as we may feel, we are not in the struggle alone. The cello accompaniment is played by the amazingly-talented Katty Verse who sent her tracks all the way from Russia, which adds to the overall theme of staying connected across great distances.

lyrics

As we stay here in our confined spaces
Like patients waiting for some good news
I'm trying to find the positive
Opening curtains for light
Sometimes it's like looking for beauty in blood

Try to remember
We're letting the Earth take a breath
I need you like a bug
Needs a safe leaf to land on

As we stay here in our remote spaces
Crooked wall clocks counting seconds
Dreaming of distant places
I'm missing living
Fields full of running children
And tickets to ride in the sky
Set off running

Set off running
Looking for friendly faces
Can't touch them, but I can wave
To keep my heart beating
Can't be near them, but we can smile
And nod like two people who know
We're not in this
We're not in this alone

We're not in this alone
As we stay here in our distant spaces
Like patients waiting for some good news
