Recycling the past
by @gordon
Liner Notes
#observational #recycling #clothes There are a lot of Vintage clothes shops in Amsterdam. I mean, a lot. This is one of my next series of songs about observations in Amsterdam.
Lyrics
There’s nothing left in the past It’s all for sale right now Vintage clothes have been curated Designer clothes that were made to last Now charity shop donations
Prices are higher than you’d think But the environment is saved Fashion has had a rethink Now they’re trying to be better behaved Recycling the past to the present
And the clothes we make today Might not end up the same way Fast fashion is not made to last QC inspections, barely passed Ends up in a hole in the ground
And we are all responsible We are part of the problem We long to have convenience The pace of change unstoppable The situation is not optimal
Recycling the past, it’s all we can do And now it’s up to you
(c) words and music G Todd 2026

I like the distorted sound, at first it kinda sounded tropical to me I don't know why, but you do raise a good point, who knows how many things we make now can be resold considering recycling is now all about melting down the materials once again.
