"Is Anyone Listening?" (2006)

3m 44s

Is Anyone Listening?

I saw a man about a dog
His name was Sam now he's in my blog
How 'bout that

I knew a lad from down the road
His name was Jack and he drunk a load
Of diet Pepsi. Hmm, that's news.

And is there anyone out there listening?
Who wants to hear what's in my day

If you would like to jot a note
Upload your pic or erotic joke
Go right ahead

See my friend he's on the left
His name is Jeff and he's the best:
Excited - but short sighted

Chorus

And is there anyone out there listening?
Can you hear me do you know my name?

I thought by now I'd be a star
But it still seems so far away
I thought the world would want to know
Everything I had to show and tell

So is there anyone out there listening?
Can you hear me do you know my name?

Can you hear me do you know my name?

Presages the Social Media tsunami and people's need to share the smallest details of their lives. Is anyone actually listening? Gets increasingly dark and desperate from 2:20.

"This is really a commentary about digital life, isolation and loneliness. It is as relevant today as it was when I wrote it nearly 10 years ago."
