Armand l'Enchanté - Phantom Playlist Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the smoky halls of memory lane
Where jazz notes used to dance like summer rain
Sophie's smile, a melody divine
Now just data points in their design
Every kiss reduced to ones and zeros
Our passion labeled "trending for heroes"

[Chorus]
They took our swing and made it square
Packaged love beyond repair
But baby, algorithms can't decode
The way you moved when our hearts flowed
In three-four time, we'd steal the night
Before they made our magic impolite

[Verse 2]
Remember that last night in '52
When brass and reeds spoke only truth?
Now they slice our souls for profit's sake
Serve up fragments, hearts that break
In their pristine digital cage
Where art becomes a mindless rage

[Bridge]
Oh, the suits behind their screens
Don't know what real music means
They've never felt that midnight groove
When two hearts find their perfect move
Their charts and graphs can't comprehend
The way love makes the whole world bend

[Chorus]
They took our swing and made it square
Packaged love beyond repair
But baby, algorithms can't decode
The way you moved when our hearts flowed
In three-four time, we'd steal the night
Before they made our magic impolite

[Verse 3]
So let them push their soulless feeds
While we dance to what our heart needs
'Cause Sophie dear, they'll never know
How real jazz makes real love grow
In defiance of their perfect plans
We'll swing it wild across these lands

[Outro]
Let the machines try to contain
This wild heart's syncopated pain
But they can't catch the way we flew
When jazz was real and love was true
In smoke-filled rooms where hearts beat free
Before they digitized you and me
