As Long As We Can Talk About It

2nd Grade

First of all — I LOVE the name of this band.

These short, nostalgic Peter Gill songs have an innocence and simplicity to them. Sure, there’s wit and irony, but they still feel fun. FUN — like recess in elementary school. And, these songs feel directly connected to adolescence — songs about crushes, school, bikes, superglue, comic books.

This one happens to be the opening track to their little masterpiece WISH YOU WERE HERE TOUR REVISITED. It’s so catchy and cool as it tries to build bridges between people who disagree. Something profound and jubilant in this tune that celebrates people overcoming their differences.

I know that we don't really get along
Well that's okay
As long as we can talk about it
As long as we can talk about it

I know that we don't see eye to eye
Well that's okay
As long as we can talk about it
As long as we can talk about it

As long as we can talk about it
Everything's okay
Everything's okay
As long as we can talk about it

I know that we're never on the same page
Well that's okay
As long as we can talk about it
As long as we can talk about it
