about

We live in "the middle of nowhere" in the heart of the French countryside. Up unitl a couple of years ago, our village didn't have ADSL ... so, downloading and using the internet was NOt easy.

The modem sound at the beginning of the track was recorded "live" when we connected to our phone line using an "olitec" modem.

lyrics

Such a lovely day
Sun in shining
Meadow's glowing
Donkey's braying
The tranquillity - all embracing
My biggest problem?
My internet connection.

56K 56K 56K time to decay
ebay, Google, Facebook, Twitter
Even emails far too long
Skyping with friends
Well, that's a joke
Just not possible to surf and chat
My connection sees to that
Oh, 56K ... time to decay

I just wanna download this file
Not too big
But, takes bloody hours
And my phone-line, permanently engaged
And my phone bill, the size of a National debt.

56K 56K 56K time to decay
ebay, Google, Facebook, Twitter
Even emails far too long
Skyping with friends
Well, that's a joke
Just not possible to surf and chat
My connection sees to that
Oh, 56K ... time to decay

(then lots of 56Ks and time to decays!)
