about

"Spooky action at a distance" is a quantum physics phenomenon where two particles that are physically separated affect each other as if they are still connected.

We wrote this song when we were quarantined in two separate locations during the 2020 lockdown, and recorded it together after we were reunited, holed up in our studio like a couple of kids in a treehouse. It includes a secret message in Morse code.

lyrics

little foxes in our foxholes
on a tin can phone
shine a flashlight on the mirror
send a signal in morse code

when you step upon a needle
it goes straight to my heart
spooky action at a distance
we're together and apart

are you thinking what I'm thinking
at the same exact time
if you're out there somewhere listening
will you sing down the wire
sing down the wire

like the needle of a compass
I know right where you are
down the handle of the ladle
little dipper to north star

from the treehouse send a letter
at the end of a string
write it in our secret language
in invisible ink

clouds gather in
the trees bend in the wind
and the air is electric and thundering
crackle of static
a broken connection
transmission is lost and I’m wondering

are you thinking what I'm thinking
at the same exact time
if you're out there somewhere listening
will you sing down the wire

are you thinking what I'm thinking
at the same exact time
if you're out there somewhere listening
will you sing down the wire
sing down the wire
