You can tell its old, because she orders a program out of a magazine, and presumably waits for snail mail to get it to her weeks later.
That’s that thing where a man comes to your house with hard copies of emails and puts them in an actual metal box, instead of a virtual mailbox, for you youngsters in the audience.
See if this doesn’t describe your life.
From her album The Sensual World (1989), the lovely and intelligent Ms. Kate Bush:
Deeper Understanding
As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend.I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine:Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must.
I press execute.Hello, I know that you’ve been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you’re unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.Well Ive never felt such pleasure.
Nothing else seemed to matter.
I neglected my bodily needs.I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
til my family found me and intervened.But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box.
I pick up the phone and go, execute.Hello, I know that you’ve been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you’re unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.I turn to my computer like a friend.
I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding.
