Streaming + Download

Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Black Jade and Navigateur join voices to sing a duet over a, you might say, "future" post-new-romantic track chock full of with warbled piano, lush pads, hi hat trills, and scattered percussion. "Distance" describes the feeling of being in a doomed relationship, the feeling of pulling apart, hopelessly trying to hold on, and ultimately the acceptance of letting go.

One of the few collaborations in Navigateur's catalog, and an even rarer vocal-first duet.

lyrics

can't remember why I wanna call you
tell me what it's like in the world around you
should have planned what i wanted to say
youre doing fine that's what i hoped, I feel my time slip away

i know i'm with everyone i need
i know you couldn't stop asking me

are you alright with the salty eyes dried
let it flavor all my meals for the year
my tongue craves your taste
it'll do with a trace
I can smell the fresh laundry are you near?
rewind our time
turn it back, turn it back, turn it back

don't wait too long to let me know
the moment is gone
and i'll take my love for you
wherever i go

but you already know
i will wait for you

are you alright with the salty eyes dried
let it flavor all my meals for the year
my tongue craves your taste
it'll do with a trace
I can smell the fresh laundry are you near?

don't hide your love from me, baby
i'd tear myself in two for you
