Computer Love Song, the third song off of Carter Vail’s sophomore project The Interstellar Tennis Championship, is a homage to his hometown, wrapped in glittering synths, distorted guitars, and Wes Anderson references.
lyrics
You’re still shaking
I’m barely moving at all
Green lines cut through
A black screen tells you I’m fine
You’re Gwyneth Paltrow
I’m Richie Tenenbaum
I cut my hair off
You like me either way
And every summer
It’s going to be the same
Going back to Telluride
Riding round with nothing on
Staying at your parents’ house
Acting like there’s nothing wrong
Going back to Telluride
Sleeping with the TV on
Darling so coledified
Oh, I know it won’t be long
Pull my sutures
And climb in I’m warm inside
You’ll breath my lungs
I’m florescent and infrared
And I’m yours
Smoke out the window
Listen to CD Roms
You’re like a race car
You are a palindrome
And every summer
Will never be the same
Going back to Telluride
Riding round with nothing on
Staying at your parents’ house
Acting like there’s nothing wrong
Going back to Telluride
Sleeping with the TV on
Darling so coledified
Oh, I know it won’t be long
