Cover art for Proxy War lyrics by Andrew Bird

This one is so good. It's all about how technology has separated us, changed our lives so we don't really have to connect with one another as closely as we once did.

He don't have to get over her She don't to have get over him With all their words preserved forevermore You don't have to get over her She don't have to get over you It's true these two have never met before

  • Online romance. We can have a relationship over the internet, never meet in person, yet all our words are preserved, since it's all online.

You don't have to remember We forget what memories are for Now we store them in the atmosphere

-What's your friend's phone number? What's the capital of Peru? When was the war of 1812? We don't have to remember these kinda things anymore since we can just look it up instantly via our phones.
