Hey Remote
Style: synthpop, EDM, neurofunk, Vocals: deep male baritone emotionally restrained almost monotone delivery deadpan chanting style low enthusiasm slightly detached Mixing: vocals intentionally buried under the synth layers heavy cathedral reverb washed-out analog tape sound slight distortion vocals blend into the music rather than sitting on top Instrumentation: vintage drum machine minimal synth bass church organ pads simple analog arpeggiator slow hypnotic repetition Mood: melancholic, obsessive, slightly absurd dramatic music contrasted with trivial lyrics Tempo: ~100 BPM Influences: early 80s minimal synth coldwave lo-fi synthpop

Lyrics
Intro
The television glow
fills the room
fills the room
Verse 1
It was RIGHT here
on the couch
RIGHT here
where I left it
last night
The Roku
just blinks at me
blink
blink
in the cold
television
light
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t move it
(I didn’t move it)
I never move it
(I never move it)
I know exactly
where things go
Chorus
Where did you put
the remote
the remote
Where did you put
the remote
I only looked away
for a second
You moved it
you moved it
you moved it
Verse 2
Checked between
all the cushions
Checked underneath
the dog
She says
she never touched it
But I’ve been writing
everything
down
in my log
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t move it
(I didn’t move it)
I never move it
(I never move it)
I know exactly
where things go
Chorus
Where did you put
the remote
the remote
Where did you put
the remote
I only looked away
for a second
You moved it
you moved it
you moved it
Bridge
The Roku blinks
its little light
patient
forgiving
patient
forgiving
I am not that
I am not that
Outro
Maybe it's under
the blanket
Maybe it's under
the bed
She’s already asleep now
The screen just says —
use your phone
instead
