Goodbye, My Phone (No Need to Search)

by Masahiro Shinoda

/

about

[CONCEPT]
This short piece is about our dependence on our phones and the heavy use of search engines. I admit those are indisputably handy and give us a sense of satisfaction by showing answers to our questions at any given time. But at the same time, I'm feeling that we need to give space to ambiguity. If people came to think putting heads together to solve problems was inefficient and the last thing they could do, then where was the value of exchanging words with others and making an effort to live peacefully on Earth in the first place? Rather than keep scrolling down the screen with red eyes, why don’t you close your eyes for some moments and listen to the sound surrounding you? Or, while you’re in the passenger seat, it should always be better to engage in a conversation with the person next to you than to keep swiping until you get a new comment on the post of your selfie at the party last night.

lyrics

[LYRICS]
Say goodbye to my phone, then I’ll be free
(Escape from technologies)
Say goodbye to my phone, then I’ll be free
(Revive my energy)

Take away, take away
Everything that ties me up
Leave behind my phone today
(Embrace ambiguity)
The sky is up there
No need to search

Say goodbye to my phone, then I’ll be free
(Escape from technologies)
Say goodbye to my phone, then I’ll be free
(Revive my energy)

Breathe in, breathe out
Everything goes so fast
Read a book on the couch
(Accept uncertainty)
My life is right here
No need to search

Say goodbye to my phone, then I’ll be free
(Escape from technologies)
Say goodbye to my phone, then I’ll be free
(Revive my energy)
