about

In this semi-autobiographical chorus-less duet, grad school anxiety materializes into an argument between lovers, the premise of which was inspired by nouvelle vague tropes surrounding domestic ennui: x wants to go to the beach, but y is hesitant because they aren’t done reading and “soft science is hard” (silly we). We also had the immense pleasure of getting Kuo-Hung Tseng—the wonderful singer and mastermind behind Taiwanese jazz-pop band Sunset Rollercoaster—to feature as co-lead singer on this track, making it the very first p&to song featuring a guest on lead vocals!

lyrics

Hey, come to the beach
You studied all night long
You deserve a break
I can’t talk right now
I really should work
It wasn’t enough
Soft science is hard
Look the Sun is out
You shouldn’t stay inside
It’s real bad for your health
I told you I can’t
I don’t want to know
I’m not nearly done
Soft science is hard
How is it so hard?
You’ll study more tomorrow
Now please have a break
Soft science is hard
Though it’s hardly science
Things that work in theory
Stay in the abstract
Please do it for me
They’re heading to a beach
South of Saint Augustine
Just give me a minute
I’m almost done reading
Well I guess I could
Close my books for now
