Lyrics that include AI and webspeak

Apparently some people find that cringe. That's stupid: if songs are to remain current, then they need to tap into the vernacular. We spend hours a day on a screen.

The first line almost always got a shocked laugh. 'You glance at your inbox...' - those things are usually left out of pop lyrics. - It's like with Call Me, Maybe.

That's what Portrait of a Knight is about.
