Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Can't Keep Checking My Phone - Live on Conan 08/25/15 video free download

Lyrics and Ruben's explanation of the song below:

Aurora Borealis, me for her for real it’s lust

The love can’t be heard above

Everyone acts like a day drinker (yeah)

We eat crickets

In the future

Just tastes like

“Far-from-home”

Drink Chicha

In the Jungle

That sounds great

Im kinda busy, could you call back again?

Im sure you’ll come back

Til then I

Can’t keep checking my phone (no)

We read the universe might be holographic

Traffic lights might reverse my love

Go ahead and traverse the winter (yeah)

We eat crickets

In the future

Just tastes like

“Far-from-home”

Drink Chicha

In the Jungle

That sounds great

Im kinda busy, could you call back again?

Im sure you’ll come back

Til then I

Can’t keep checking my phone (no)

Ruben:

"Cant Keep Checking My Phone is about missing somebody and that point where you refuse to accept online “connectivity” as a substitute for being with someone IRL. When someone you love turns into text and ideas delivered through a device, at some point they’re competing with real things like the aurora borealis, which is another thing that only really makes sense in the flesh. I also read somewhere that the universe might be holographic, and in that case maybe the distance between us is just an illusion. So do you fall in love with the idea of someone? Or the chemicals they give off in person? Either way, I’ve got to get off my phone."
