During the opening months of the world famous Covid-19 pandemic, countless emails were sent featuring a recurring selection of short phrases, collected here for your enjoyment.
In short bursts on this, Silent Forum are at their angriest and most destructive - shouting into the abyss about Brexit and the psychological impacts of isolation. This is offset by much friendlier, prettier sections embracing the slimmest of silver linings.
lyrics
We build products in the face of adversity
We push paper in the face of adversity
Check my inbox, I know people rely on me
We tweak wording in the face of adversity
We send chasers in the face of adversity
Check my inbox, I know people rely on me
Here’s the email
Hope you are safe and well
Here’s the email
In these turbulent times
Here’s the email
During these difficult times
Here’s the email
Hope your family’s well
Hope your dog/ hamster/ fish is well
Make an enemy of an old acquaintance
Roll up the welcome mat, then self destruct
“My countries’ closed”
More time with family
More time at home
More time outside
More time alone
Less time on trains
Less time in Pret
Less key cards
More records
Less keyboards
More keyboards
More make or break
Than let’s see and wait
