about

Title track from the 2000 release "Connected..."

This song may be a little out of place on this collection, but it represents the rock and roll that I come from - big guitars, synths, harmonies... And it is more true now than ever... Everyday we are more connected... Unless you left your phone at home.

This version forgoes the analog modem chirping sounds that started the song, even though DSL was making headway at the time, I liked the idea. Now, it is comically dated. I'm sure there's ONE person in the world who stills hears that call... beep-chirp-boing-boing-boooop-shhhh...

lyrics

CONNECTED...
Words and music by Patrick Fleming, Jr.
©2000 Patrick Fleming, Jr.

I swear that I can feel a heartbeat a half a world away
You can tell me what you’re thinking but I know what you’re thinking, just the same

You can pick up the telephone, or you can try to get me on-line
But, I’ll be in contact with you, I’m only waiting for your sign

There’s so much for you to learn
So many things that I’ve left unspoken
Your world awaits your interaction

We are Connected - We are One
We are Connected - One Vision under the Sun

As I lie here underneath, in an environmental trance
I see you could lose it all if you were only given half a chance

It’s still a bit early, can’t you see I’m barely awake
Still in my infancy, in a subterranean-unconscious state

There’s so much left for you to learn
So many things that I’ve left unspoken
Your world awaits your interaction

We are Connected - We are One
We are Connected - One Vision under the Sun

We are Connected - We are One
We are Connected - One Vision under the Sun
